HyperKiasu:
My DS's school only released results of Maths, Paper 2 for Eng and Paper 2 for MT. All paper 1 results still unknown. But the overall ranking in class was announced 2 days ago.
In addition, no breakdown of Paper 1 for both of Eng and MT has ever been released in the past (DS in P2 this yr). I feel strange, is it confidential? (but nothing to be confidential what.....). :?
Hyperkiasu,
My same sentiments. I ever checked with FT about it but they canno reveal. So until today, I have gotten partial marks for English and MT... which makes me \"kan cheong\" as I want to know the total marks my DS gets. Frustrating.... -
Funz:
yalor.. vomit blood until dehydrated..
I think this careless thing will be the death of many a parents.
Funz:
same thing happened to mine too during practiceThe question said 1 plate of rice and 2 chix wings, she missed out the 2 chix wings. Haizz.
Funz:
Yes.. whatever our frustatration.. as long as they have done their best, we should celebrate!! :rahrah:Oh well, still above class and level average. Some carelessness is expected of kids this age I guess. So she can go climb that rock and let off some steam.

I've heard that many schools are adopting the same practice - especially for Paper 1 (Compo/Oral). Main reason was because some schools have problems with the parents who demanded to know why their kids are getting XX marks when they feel that their kids deserved more marks based on their own judgement etc. It ended up with parents challenging the teachers over the marks/grading etc especially for compo since the marking can be quite subjective, even if there are certain benchmarks to follow. Not sure if that is the only reason though... :roll:HyperKiasu:

If the earlier one is very strong with oral, he/she leaves such a good impression on the examiner, the next one will be in disadvantage position....silverhorse:

We usually go to the one at Tessensohn, Civil Service Club. Managed by Climb Asia.
Oh, my P2 also asking for rock climbing and his brother will bring him to his gym to do that... (there's a jungle climb in Bedok and have you tried?)
Was thinking of checking out the one at Safra Yishun. Not sure if they allow kids below 10yrs old. Where in Bedok? Do they have the walls or just a boulder gym?
DH & I wanted to do the SNCS Level 1 so that we can do the belaying for our kids ourselves but so far the courses and our timing cannot coincide. So no choice loh, gotta pay for someone to do the belaying for the kids. -
My p5 boy scored 87 for his math but the sch principal expects the first class students to score min 91! So majority of them hv to go back during sch holidays to retake the test! Ridiculous!

insider:
Maybe you can go back and revisit Piaget. His cognitive development theory has great impact in my child rearing practices...
There is no doubt about it that Piaget is one of psychology's Great Men. However, it might be good to note that university psychology textbooks have documented for many years that some key parts of Piaget's theoretical work have been falsified using newer and more rigorous experimental techniques. For knowledge to be documented in textbooks, it would have been floating around for maybe a few years before it is considered stable and reliable enough to get incorporated into a textbook. So... the field would have had doubts maybe a decade or so before year 2001 or so... Piaget died in 1980.
I thought I remembered reading round about the time when my son was just born (it was a 2nd year textbook), that it is quite widely accepted by researchers that the development of children doesn't move in neat stages. It would seem too that our MOE curriculum designers don't follow Piaget because the syllabus is chockful of hypothetico-deductive reasoning skills that traditionally have been addressed only in secondary school because this is part of the formal operational stage... and our kids seem to have no trouble coping. In fact, I noted hypothetico- deductive reasoning in my son from age 2.
If one follows Piaget, one risks underestimating the child's ability. Maybe need to be a wee bit careful though lor ... Be somewhat careful when thinking through Piaget.
It is a powerful theory but needs to be handled with care. Not all of it pans out. -
When it comes to theories and hypothesis regarding the human mind, nothing is cast in stone.
When dealing with people, there are too many variables and dynamics for anything to be 100% applicable to everyone at all time. So just take them as a good base to a better understanding of the subject involved. -
aiyo..my boy he can highlight the keywords, but still see wrongly! :stupid:
eg, he can circle the keyword 'ascending' order and yet give answer as 'descending' order! (he understand the difference in meaning ah!) -

my kid has the same problem as well. I now tell him to draw two circles, a small circle and a big circle and an arrow pointing from the small circle to the big circle, like so...aiyo..my boy he can highlight the keywords, but still see wrongly! :stupid:

this tells him to arrange from small numbers to big numbers. Descending order is the other way around. Seems to work for him. I think just the act of drawing the circles will focus his mind on the question at hand.
