Hi,


Do you send your kids to math olympiad class ? Or will the training/lessons be provided by PeiHwa?

i do. so far no lessons provided by PH even in P5. in my son's olympiad class, he said there are 2 other PH students there too.

Hi Dyh,

May I know which training center did you enrol your son in ? I heard maths hub is good.

Supplementary lessons will start from tmr. Is this year earlier?

i wonder what is the purpose of the supp classes. is it an acknowledgement that the current school system or lessons plan is flawed? Why can't they fit everything within the school hours. if it is remedial classes for weaker students, i can understand.

It seems like the suppl classes are just a continuation of curriculum. My son told me he didn't benefit from last year's suppl classes...I should have taken him out to give him more time to rest.

This missing part still has to be filled up by sb at some other time.

I dun think it is \"overloaded'. Maybe more for the kiasu mentality \"if can complete syllabus earlier, can hv extra time for extra worksheets nearing exam time\" or \"to buffer teachers' absentism\" or \"unexpected sch shutdown\" etc.

I see that my boy's P5 CL teacher is taking a slower pace to teach. His vocabulary book is filled up more this round. I like this approach, making sure the pupils hv time to copy the meaning, the compatible characters, etc.

I understand that Maths Hub compiles a list of its students' achievement in MO competitions. PH does not seem to compile such a list. U can visit any Maths Hub to look at the published MO booklets, I hv seen the list of achievements in these booklets.
