Recently they conducted one for sec 2 parents on special course. Feel they should also conduct one similar session to the students else we still have to communicate to the child and information may be lost and not as thorough.[/quote]


Last yr, they did conduct briefing on e special programmes for e sec 2 students too. So i believe they’ll do e same tis yr. My DS joined me in e talk for e parents last yr.[/quote]




Otah,the sch will only conduct one special programme briefing session for parents but will post the special programme details on the sch website and the sch will give the boys a few briefings and talks on this topic during T3 n T4 to make sure d boys know what to do and what to choose according to their strength ,so don worry for any information lost or not as thorough .

It's been more than sufficient... Hopefully all our children will be able to follow and catch up... I wonder whether does anyone of you feel that HCI has been concentrating a lot on Humanities & languages? Do you think they have neglected on Maths & Science? :?

Nowadays, very often my ds requests us to da bao dinner for him instead of following us out and eat together as he has work to do and he find wasting time waiting for food outside ... really so much work or matter of time management? :sad: how to tell him it is ok to eat out and hang around with us occasionally, at this age quite strong minded liao and if you luo suo some more will end up with lots of tension. :sad: Then again still it is better to keep them occupied right?

Don't think they neglect Maths and Science. The HCI students usually has no problem coping with Maths and Science except those who switch-off. It is the language that needs constant build-up and cna't study over night.

But then....his results is very bad la... Probably as a result of the above... :sad: :nunchuk: :mad: Angry with him....
