GEP - General Syllabus Discussion
-
Yesterday the exam papers were brought back for parents signature.
Took a deep look of English and Science, not easy, need higher thinking skill, as his teacher said. -
Ds mentioned his classmates (including him) most felt upset yesterday, I asked why, He said because scared of being scold by parents. Poor kids! So I decided say nothing, although scared of his score as well.

DS is averaging below 70% for most subjects :sad:This is a repost, I hv shared this sentiment in another thread.
I'm sure many parents share the same sentiments. When our kids were in mainstream, they basically breezed thru all exams, topping class or level without much problems. But when come to GEP, they need to put in more effort, as all the subjects r pitched at a higher level, in order to tap to their so called \"fullest potential\", I guess.
Hence, both parents & kids have to manage their expectations more realistically. I dun think it is wise to expect them to excel in every paper, in all subjects. A little setback is necessary & good for the kids sometimes.
I am really concerned cos I know he is quite disappointed that he can't do well even though he has put in effort..
EL used to be his strongest subject but now he is scoring below baseline and i know he feels demoralised.
DS has also told me that he thinks he is not good enough for the programme and asked if he should go back to mainstream.. :sad: Can't help but feel sad for him.. -

Don't be discouraged. Some of my ds classmates did badly in p4 but their results gradually improved in p5 and p6. This is only the first exam. It is still too early to say whether the kids are suitable for the program. Jia you:)

Gep English is usually tough to score as there are only 2 components, cloze and comprehension. However the paper only contributes to 40 percent. If he has done his daily work well, it may pull up his overall English mark.

I got from DS that they were asked to fill some survey form about their feeling of this GEP course yesterday.

My DS always say nothing to update me. Sometimes I need to find out thru here....Just last week he brought back eng file so many pages have question mark by teacher bcos no signature fr parent. :mad:
The HC scores varies greatly in their class....fr 56 to 28 out of 60. Heard the median is 32. Is it true?
The fact that ur son is chosen to participate for the outing shows his score is not that bad cos only the top few scorers are asked to participate. -
Science result is out. Her class result between 23/60 to 54/60. Only 1 person scored full marks for mcq section.
