Parents, not enrichment centres, are key to result

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

It is already a booming business. Keeps unemployment rate lower. Good what.

If parents get retrenched for spending too much time having tuition then how? :evil:

Errrrhhhh, maybe I'm not clear enough
The students' tuition/enrichment market is booming for sure.
I'm referring to the market for parents' workshop which I believe has started only recently. Parents will be attending all these workshop to learn all the models/heuristics/creative writing etc so that they can go home & coach their own kids..... I tried to join a P6 creative writing but was rejected, so maybe next time they might come up with a tuition class for parents.

Not sure if this helps, but in the first week of a new school year, as soon as I get my hands on the form teachers’ email address, I write a note to the teachers detailing my children’s traits / behaviour in class, what are their strengths and weaknesses and what are my concerns - academic or behavioural.


I usually get a response from the teachers, and I follow through with communication every term, just to keep myself and the teachers aligned. When the teachers are aware that we are the involved parents, things usually work better because they know they can get us to cooperate when the need arises.

Agree that it helps to have good communication with teachers given that there are also many good teachers who care. Do not allow one bad teacher to ruin our kid's future.

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

Definitely there is hope, talk to the teacher and other parents from the school. If u can handle and help her then is ideal othewise need to outsource coz not all parents can handle P4 maths.

I dunnu if im out of topic...but i always feel teachers are very powerful people besides parents...and they have so much power with their words..to motivate or demotivate the children in their charges. sometimes a child may not be doing well..but when the teacher believes in them and encourages them...that may be all that the child needs.

My kids are finishing their ca today...and i hardly had the time to revise with them..im not expecting their results to be good..but really...is marks the only thing in life? i intend to recognise their effort and encourage them to try harder...even if they fail! ( i expect them to fail their MT)
I dunnu..i just felt like saying this..if im off topic..sorry!!

I've come to a point where I lift my child's chin upwards so that I can look in his eyes and say \"I don't care WHAT your Teacher says you can or cannot do. I don't care that your Teacher thinks you are slow and lazy. I am your MOTHER. I am more important than ANY Teacher. I, and only I, have the competence to judge whether you are good. Follow Mommy and I will guide you there. Wherever we end up, it will already be better than here.\"

In the beginning, it was tough because he thought I was biased. But after I guided him through to some successes, my DS realized that I was right to believe in him... and he learnt to believe in himself.

Chen, your attitude and tenacity motivates me.

Thank you for helping me be a better mom.
