      $6k per month works out to be $72k per year. Multiply that by 6 years, it will be ~$430k. With this kind of money I can sponsor the average / above average kid to go abroad for a degree, as long as his results are not that bad, and the uni wonโ€™t be that lousy either. Why bother to slog like this - what can the kid get out of this type of "spoon-feeding"?

        This is what i call "slogging for life". This is absolutely nuts! I canโ€™t imagine what the child will turns out to. Lack of creativity? Book smart? Or worse turns wild when break free from parents.

                  if u decide to employ your expensive and new \"high flyer\" maid from the other maid thread :evil: , then u must take on a lot of homework assignments to pay for his housework assignments. :rotflmao:

                    Such a lucrative job ? I don't mind copying but not doing the homework.
                    I read of the 2 tier tutor article...getting 2nd tutor to coach kids for first tutor's hw.

                    For my younger kid in p2, she will have to do all the hw herself. When older one was in p4, his hw workload was crazy, so we all helped him with coloring, art, finding meanings of words from newspaper etc etc. prob is can't help him to re-copy compo. Teacher doesn't allow typing.

                      If I hire that maid I will hire him as a tutor! I think he'll make a lot of money as a tutor. Maybe i can convince him to let me be his agent for a low commission. ๐Ÿ˜„

                        We actually did do DSโ€™ homework for him last year a few times. His SA1 papers were so difficult and his homework was so easy from WITHIN the level. There was so much easy homework that he had no time to practise the difficult sums from BEYOND the level.


                        My greatest fear now is that this will happen in secondary school tooโ€ฆ where homework is easy and tests test BEYOND what is taught. If that is so, the child NEEDS the enrichment, and someone to do the EASY homework.

                        Please somebodyโ€ฆ tell me this is NOT happening with your kids in secondary school?
