2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[janet88]

This week is preparation for EL/CL oral...time is needed to prepare and revise, rest is crucial too. Son told me the Health Ed teacher wants them to do a group project...in my mind, I am thinking how ridiculous it is. :slapshead: Think my son could read my expression, bcos he said the teacher was :siao: .

The whole class protested and teacher decided to get them to do it during curriculum time. That's more like it.

Thanks Champ...I can't wait for daughter's CL oral to be over today...then we can move on.

My child is currently in a small tution group of 2 to 4 students taught by a ex-teacher. We also tried the tution centre. We also know the strategy of annotation etc. However, the marks still can't improve. Anyone has any advice? Can someone recommend a 1-to-1 home tutor?


Time is running out....

My dc's arts teacher wanted the class to do a paper plate/bowl at home using old newspaper including colouring and decoration during the week just before SA1. It was so time consuming.

The HOD in charge of non-core subjects has no brains :stompfeet: this is crucial time !!! Next week, Compo exam right after labour day public holiday...then Eng paper 2 on 4/5. Such time-consuming and non-core subjects can be done after the SA1 right ? While teachers are marking exam scripts, they can get students to do such work.
I thought schools should have better time management.

Son’s teachers used other lessons to teach core subject…provided they are same teachers teaching. For eg, his Chinese teacher may also teach social studies. My son’s teacher used Science subject lessons to teach Math…it’s been like this for the past few weeks. Son misses Science.


A big relief - the oral exams are over today…can move on to prepare for compo next. I’ve observed that many parents do not cook during exam period. Even my mum said supermarket is empty as families eat out and rush home. Quite true bcos cooking does require preparation and washing up.
