I hope sch doesn't give too much homework too, have plans to revise with ds. He didn't do well for his T2 tests as well.


Btw, did any parent here attempt that maths qns that was reported in the news? Supposedly for p3, but i can't solve it too!!

I rather revise with kids and focus on their weaknesses than teachers piling on hw. Don't talk about p3 maths, I can't even do my daughter's p2 model math prob :oops:
The authorities are plain crazy to set difficult exam questions for our kids. Where is the childhood stage that our children are supposed to enjoy ? It's replaced by assessment books and tuition now.

Talking about difficult papers, today my son's student care gave him PH's P2 2011 CL SA1 to do and he came back with very low 80s. :yikes:


I checked the paper and he made minimal careless mistakes. Those questions were really tough, specially the OE compre section whereby they expect P2 kids to be able to paraphrase the passage in Chinese. :faint:

And I thought that my son is quite good in Chinese ..... but he couldn't grasp what the questions were asking so he tikam tikam and got zero for many questions. So tough.

Glad there's no SA1 for P2 otherwise I'll faint. Is PH standard really so high or not?

Eh Jennifer, i have to dye my hair every few wks leh… Alot of white hair liao. I spent half hr on the sum given, still had to give up. I Dun understand the need to push a young child so hard in academics… It does kill interest n self motivation when they put in so much effort n earn only a low score.

Hey FQW, you finally realized that the REAL pei hwa is no walk in the park ...standard is high, very high. Especially since higher Chinese is taught from P1-4. No joke. My son did well for CA1 2011 science mock paper but he was shocked when he had 70 for the CA. The questions were much tougher this year :faint:

Jiayou, FQW n ds! Wait till you reach P3! The '9*' for HCL is merely for smelling...highest in cohort didn't hit an A*. I am referring to year end overall, btw.

So brace yourself, ya?

FQW,


P3’s CL OE compre very powerful one. My dd lost most of the marks there…

Tried the pyramid qn. Add the 2 nos. at the bottom, subtract 15.

For the crazy Math exam today, he told me he had to leave out 2 prob sums as he just could not attempt. For P5, I know it is not going to be easy...has never been. :slapshead:

My advice to my boys is never leave a qn unattempted. Give a few workings, try alternative methods. Just do not give up totally.

While we were revising at home, my P5 boy sometimes hv this habit to give up on qns that look alien to him. I need to scold him or coax him into trying. Sometimes he gets around the difficult qn, sometimes he uses guess & check.

My boy doesn't even attempt. He missed a few questions here and there. Suspect his eyes transformed to top and bottom in class, wide apart. Can do qn 1 and next sec, jump to qn 3. Not once, but a few times across all subjects! :slapshead:

Janet, E3 & ruatq2,


Wah you 3 mummies like lay the red carpet to welcome me officially to the PH-Parent-Torture-Club liddat (hey new acronym PH-PTC).

I always thought my son quite good in Chinese leh - he's into 3rd 笑猫 book which I thought is pretty good for a P2 - but no matter how many times I flipped that SA1 paper, I still think the most he can get is only mid-80s. That's assuming zilch careless mistake which is nearly impossible. :nailbite:

E3,
You mean during your gal's time, none got A* for P3 HCL (notwithstanding the fact that PH usually gets quite a few PRC kids rite)? Jialet man!

Next year my turn to rant. You all don't fight with me hur.
