Parents, not enrichment centres, are key to result

[janet88]

Hi 24hr-mum,

My son’s tutor told me Maths is getting harder and harder…the difficulty is brought down to lower primary. So do take a look at the paper. Before that, take your daughter out for ice cream first.

At this rate, tuition market for parents (for parents not kids) will be a booming business soon..... :roll:

IT IS already booming business. parents who complained about the syllabus in the end, succumb to engaging tuition for their kids. because they simply cannot take it if the child fail. or rather, the system does not allow the kid to fail.

Tuition industry is already a booming industry...through sheer necessity.
I could hold back tuition (other than CL) for my son until he was in P5...last year, hubby & I couldn't handle anymore. Started him on Math and he was still struggling for 6 months to cope with the difficulty of the subject.

Every child is different so I am making reference to my own family. If it were to happen to my DD, given her personality I would be very concerned about her own disappointment and discouragement with the results. First thing first, I'd take her for a roller coaster ride and have a good chill time. Don't want her pulling her hair out.

yeah! I bought annual passes to Universal Studios!!

my p4 gal got jus 65 for math ca. i was shock cos she used to get 80. any hope? i m devastated

Perhaps she lost more marks to carelessness versus really not knowing how to do the sum? If this is the case, you need not worry too much, just let her know she needs to be more careful in her sums. If it's really due to not understanding the question or not knowing how to do the sum, then you will need to dig deeper.

In any case, put the marks aside for now and recognise your girl's effort. It is important.

Definitely a VERY booming one! else one won't hear that have to wait for a year for a vacancy or to be put on the waitlist till there is a withdrawal in the existing class!

My DD1 is having Maths with a tutition centre though not those very \"branded\" one but the class is kept to a maximum of 14 students only. Her best friend was on the wait list since Dec and finally got a place when one of the student withdrew at beginning of Feb.
