You're scaring me... :faint:

At first I don’t really bother about the results but after reading all see posts, I beginning to feel afraid. Afraid of her results.


Btw, how come for math I taught my gal over and over again she still can’t remember one week later? Due to short memory or she still don’t understand the concept?

[peapot]

I worry most about math paper. I also dreamt about her paper! so I guess it’s normal. I hope she won’t fail her math and science! Sigh ! Tough life!

Sorry not meant to rub salt into the wound, the smarter one will naturally know, if everything is taught n tested from textbook then how to differentiate the 'bestest' from the best .... Welcome to the reality of sg world class education.


:siam:

Suz855, if you had seen / tried Onsponge Thinking Maths book, you will know how difficult are those questions about internal transfer . Even mummy need to think twice or can't solve it. No way for kids to attemp if they are not taught.
If the smarter one can solve these questions naturally, then he/she is gifted.
If the so called smarter one can solve these questions because gets extra coaching from tuition teacher, you think he/she still consider the real
'bestest' from the best ??

I do have the onsponge Maths books n I get my girl to practice the problem solving strategies ... Well, sad to say those tutored kids that know mean they do well n they will be rewarded in our education system.
like it or not they will still consider the 'bestest' of best..... Y2010 Roysth boy that top the psle was tutored at mindstretcher though he already very bright n last yr, the Rulang girl attends learning lab .... why do you think so many parents send their kids to premium tuition centre ...

If parents still can teach, don’t really need to go for tuition. My DS only goes for Chinese Tuition and ECW and I just buy assessments books for him to practice at home (almost 5 to 6 books per subject). I think only when he reach P5, then I will send him for Math tuition, like her sister as the problem sum is getter harder.Have to save $$$.
