The textbook is the easy part. It is so easy compared to the exams.i was thinking,,

up n just flipped through out of curiousity...
after looking at it....
faster put in back if not i headache...
how will our kids cope in the future haiz -

I ask my p2 dd but she can't answer that is why my p4 jump in and answer.
P4 should be able to answer this question if the child is good in Math. Generally, P2 still hasnt grasp enough Math skill to ans this.
I believe this sch (must be a top sch) and has 80 to 90% of their kids who are really good. Not all schools will give the kids this sort of question in P2.
Parents..... dont panic! -
That’s why those abacus enrichment classes… No longer useful in Maths training.
Yes, don’t panic and sign up for more enrichment classes. -
Oh…no… after reading the article, many parents will start making a queue at the various tuition centres or start hiring Math tutor.
In fact, kids nowadays have been so occupied by school homework, CCAs, enrichment classES, can we ever get an "Einstein". Our kids really need some brain space to be creative.
Our educational are like the computers "installing programs" with a lots of "softwares" (telling them what to learn), "testing the software" setting difficult exams, hoping that it works in the society "we need to human resources", a ready product push to the market place.
Kids going to psychologists in the 70s/80s/90s are almost unheard of (usually are really serious case). But now, going to psychologist may become another necessary "enrichment program".
Why are most of our kids going overseas? Try asking most girls between the age of 10 and 20 this question - Will you want to have kids when you grow up? In fact, i didnt ask this question but was offered the answer. "I dont want to have kids when i grow up as i do not want to put my children in such educational system. I will have kids only if i can live overseas." -
Has anyone noticed? The most gan cheong or worried parents are usually teachers so they teach their kids many years ahead and the kids become advanced kids…then they become bored in class…then they have issues…then… Amongst my teachers friends, it is 100% true.

Precisely! I mean I believe everybody learns at a different pace..even adults do! some of us grasp much faster than others..some simply need more practice..but we get there someday! my dd is a dec born..so shes just hit 5 and her peers are aredy 6 or 5 and a half....i personally felt shes doing well in some areas if not all..and im fine with it...but i hate the anxiety the teachers give me and make me feel lousy as a parent...and its not the first time...i want a happy girl and a girl who would enjoy learning! cos i know tt she shuts out everything the minute the teacher gets frustrated and gets angry...so well...i just let her learn at her pace. but its not easy as parents..after all when other children are handling accelerated learning so well..theres always this fear that our child will be at the losing end...

Err... My teachers are already telling me that I must put in more effort to bring up ds3 standard up.... Otherwise he might hve issues later!! N ds3 is only in N2 this year!!!! Thk he's a late developer as compared to his peers n his teachers are worried for him cos of the 'high' educational stds expected from kids nowadays!!
Haiz... Actually I see ds1's work n the amt of thgs he has to learn, I also worried for him! Now all my weeknites - once home - is to start interacting with him n start 'teaching him' via play!
Have 3 more yrs before P1!!
