GEP - General Syllabus Discussion

[just888]

I didn't even know that's such a new thread here as I usually goes to the \"View my posts\" option until a fren hightlighted to me in a pm how come I was so quiet.. I am puzzled as the 2011 GE thread was not that much active these days.


I should have found out earlier and then I won't be so stressed by myself.
But still hope not too late.

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.

Really? But I heard from him the median is 46??? That's why I am worried. Maybe his compo score pulled him up? But teacher did not give back the compo paper.

I thought the outing is for everyone in his class as he didn't mention this.

But if half of the class failed the baseline, does it make sense for these to attend remedial classes ? Is the ppw was really too challenging , or the current batch of students are really below expectations ? :?

DS did quite well for revision and past year mock papers so was very :yikes: with his results. Anyway told him not too feel too disappointed just have to work harder for the rest of the year. Don't want him to lost heart, he told me \"mum, maybe I am not suitable for the prog?\"

Pinball, I am the one who is wondering if my son is in the wrong programme or not.. I am more stress than him I think, especially seeing his failing results in mocked test, exam and the \"greenery\" in his daily worksheets.

The GEP programme is meant to stretch pupils' abilities...

It not only stretches their, it also stretches my patience towards my son and my blood pressure daily asking him to do his school work. He simply takes his own sweetest and longest time in doing misc things at home. *sigh*. I find myself is such a naggy old lady especially these 2 mths.

don't worry, I feel as long the child enjoy the work and able to cope with daily work and not too stress it should be ok. A little setback for the test is okay, we must give our kids a bit of time and manage the expectation of our kid and also as parent ourselves.

DS is averaging below 70% for most subjects :sad:

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:)

Thank you for your encouragement.. very kind of you.. :thankyou:

I also hope he will gradually get the hang of things and improve bit by bit. I keep reminding myself to adjust my expectation but really not easy to \"digest\" the \"drastic decline\" in his results..

hehe, lowest is definitely not 38 cos my DS scored lower than 38 :roll: he wrote down on his test papers the var.scores.
