Parents, not enrichment centres, are key to result

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.

Yes, parenting is a humbling learning experience in many way. We are not perfect parents, but what's important is that we learn and adjust along the way, and not let pride get the better of us. I thank my kids for having to put up with my idiosyncracies too.

Care to elaborate what mistake?
So I dun follow your footsteps... :razz:

too much emphasis on what others think of myself. "oh you are sahm, why your child’s result like that?? why you never do this and this and this for your child? " those kinda remarks.


big mistake cos it resulted in pushing dd too hard in getting better grades. too many out of school classes. too many assessment books.

too many unnecessary chit chats with other sahms which just added stress to a already kancheong sahm.

learnt my lesson.
