Hi p6 parents,
Anyone of your kids found the math paper tough? My girl cried and said she found it tough but her friends said it was easy. I am now away for business but worried when she called me to tell me this. I feel a bit helpless overseas now…anyone can help me with this? Like how the std of the paper was? -
My girl in P2, so far she is doing fine with her Maths paper.
If there anything that worry me, its her careless mistakes that caused points to drop. Otherwise, I compare the test questions with revision file, its look quite safe if revision is done. My views may not be applicable to higher level students.
Btw, we received the pink carbon form for Primary 1 registration for 2013 batch. For everyone infor in case your child hasn’t pass to you.
Regards. -

as u move up, they have challenging questions.
My child drop from band 1 to band 2 this year as well.
Yes, for sure needs to brush up but I think teachers should go through challenging questions as well. Do already dun mark, then how to know if got mistake?
unlucky to have lazy teachers this year :stupid:
last year teachers were very good.. -

I agree teachers play a part but I don't bet on them alone. As parents, we should do our parts regardless. With a class of 30, they can only do so much within curriculum time. Class will get bigger in upper pri when 10 classes becomes 8 classes. Ultimately, to me, if kids are not born smart or haven't \"kai qiao\", then \"practice makes perfect\", there's no short-cut. That's what I always remind my son.

There is a regression in my girl’s 2nd term result as compared to 1st term. The paper seems to be quite difficult for a P1 student as per my view. Lots of careless mistakes made. According to my girl, no time to chk thru the paper especially
Math. Their textbk n file were kept in school and hence difficult to do revision prior to the tests. I don’t think currently P1 n 2 are having any honeymoon period. -
Definitely had a shock in terms of workload n Chinese compo n its oral requirements at p3.
In fact, I had feedback to Chinese tr on the huge gap of making really simple sentences in 2nd semester of p2 to writing flowery compo based on 4 pictures ( sometimes last 1 is blank!) or a required sentence, weekly zhouji from 1st term of p3. Ds was so ill equiped that he could spend the entire Sat on it. Ended up needed lots of our help n ate into family time.
Guess bcos his was the 1st batch of rubic assessment? Perhaps sch is fine-tuning. P1 & 2 now?
Rr SA preparation, his science tr distributed answer keys on the day b4 exam 4 parents to mark n suoervise the corrections -
Not sure whether my girl is stressed in terms of workload or she is still in midst of adaptation, she complained sick and went to General Office for five times in consecutive 2 weeks. I hv to go down to school to fetch her home at least 3 times in the past 2 weeks. I'm not sure whether this will \"mark\" by her teacher as she has been missing some of her classes. I hv talked to her numerous time over the phone but she juz refused to return to her class and kept crying. When I signed on the early departure bk, I realized that there are lots of cases with similar \"illness\" as my girl.
Hopefully she is okay after holiday....

Honest speaking, when I did a comparision between my elder son SA1 paper when he was in p2 and my p2 daughter’s mastery paper,I felt that the paper actually got easier.
My girl said the same things when she tried to take her brother SA1 papers.
But for upper primary SA1 papers, they are different stories.
The practice papers (usually school past year papers) are much easier than the actual SA1 papers although it is still on par with top school exam papers.
In my opinion, the school is trying to slow down the lower primary so as to build stronger fountation while driving the upper primary by setting tougher questions. -
Oh dear, that's indeed frequent.
I heard ds said his friend tried to keng skipping supplementary class but General office sent him back to class when found no fever.
Many early departures last few weeks bcos some were sick so parents fetched them home after taking exams.
If her sickness is genuine, then let her go back to sch after full recovery?
If it's psychological, then trickier as numerous causes from friend's remarks, bullies, teachers... to stress n workload etc.
Perhaps u can pare down any out-of-sch activities n workload n readjust her expectation?ectanz:

DS was having fever on/off for the past few weeks. After 1-2 days he went back to school after fever subsided, he will complained to teacher that he was having fever again. Each time, he was tested at the General Office for having fever.
I suspected it is the aircon room which spread the virus around…but again, it was my suspicious. I feed him more vitamins now to increase his own immunity. Was surprised to read similar cases as him.
