2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

For my case, we won't be going away in June but perhaps after PSLE


Will incorporate rest and outdoors activities for DD to relax so as not to burn out before PRelim / PSLE :xedfingers:

Go away ? No chance of that happening. Teacher told me extra classes in June. This June is no holiday. Maybe can bring son out for few hours in the evening to IMM or a swim. Even if we can go away, maybe a weekend cruise...study in the cabin. :rotflmao:

Sounds like a good idea :rotflmao:
I'm sure after this experience, my lazier younger DD will not ask for a pre-PSLE holiday when she sits for her PSLE next year :evil:

Studying in the cruise cabin is a good idea...we get to breathe salty air and experience different environment instead of same 4 walls ! When tired from studying, go to the decks and look at the shiny stars. Meals all included right ?[/quote]Just give him at least 3 days break. Sure he will love to have it. It is good to have a small break in between. And as you know very well, after June it's going to be hectic. June holidays is the only time for you/your DS to recharge.

Yes, a few days of break here and there would be good for both parent and child.

Hi Hi,


Can i check how many compositions your DD or DS has done in schools so far since school starts in Jan ? My DD so far only did 2 EL compo but has so far done 5 CL compo in class. For the second EL compo, the teacher has yet returned us ! :shock: :faint:

Hi fightingmom,

It's a norm in school, even top schools. My kid did one compo in term 1 and yet to see it. Probably wont get to see it.
So far none in term 2.

How can students do well in PSLE compo with so little practice? It is difficult (or near impossible) to ask children to practise on their own at home. Even if they are willing to, the parents may not be able to correct the mistakes. So no choice but turn to tuition... Teach Less Learn More... :evil:

Hey, my DS is also one of the tortoise moving around slowly without knowing that time is precious. Sigh......really hate the feeling of pushing him every second. How sweet it will be if only our ds can be independent in their studies. :please:

Son complained to tutor he has NO life. I have no life too...mornings I have to plan kids' revision for the evening and when to get tuition work done. Have not gone anywhere except supermarket.

Janet,

I just saw your note \"NO life\", Sounds familiar, as though we are enjooyyyyying ourselves doing this. I am just waiting for this PSLE to be over.

The way I define success for this PSLE year is that DS is well-prepared to do his best + our mother-son relationship grows. It would be meaningless if he's well-prepared mentally but physically, emotional & spiritually he's drained and our relationship deteriorates. I don't want to enter into DS' teenage years with him holding bad memories about his PSLE year & hating his mother. I want to him to enter into his teenage years recalling he was well-supported, loved and having confidence about doing his best.

Beanbear, :goodpost:

My goodness ! :yikes: Just 1 ?! :yikes: How is your child's coping? Is he/she good at writing ? My DD is rather weak in her English.
