Haha! Sounds like a experimental physics disaster waiting to happen.

I always say too much, don't I?

Currently I'm watching the development of the MGS->ACS(I) IP very carefully. It's like wondering if the flower will grow more beautiful in the hothouse, or wilt.

My son has not done any studying at home so far since entering secondary school.

However if the term 1 class test results are an accurate indicator on how well he is doing, I don’t need to worry.
Well at least until I see his Chinese results.
He is really enjoying life, making his P5 brother envious.

Mine is also doing very minimal work.

Things are very different at the school on a hill I hear.

The only way to get value-added product without merely jacking up the labour input is to do work effectively (meets goals) and efficiently (output to input ratio is good). In this age, the question should not be the simplistic, \"How much work is the student doing?\" but \"How successful is he overall, and also in relation to the amount of work he is doing?\"


Fortunately, ACS has always believed in this philosophy.

No idea. But shouldn't your DS be getting this info from his teacher? It's good training for the rest of his life...
