Jan & Elly - Discussion

[pixiedust]

James, not to burst any bubble (yours or other parents), just a skeptical view from a parent who has gone through phonics, maths, chinese enrichments of various sort : Many programmes are written to impress the parents, sometimes too advance for the child's age, too much cramped into the programme. Further, 1 to 1.5hr per week programme, without structured home revision, limited knowledge is retained in long term memory.


Unless there is major change in our education landscape, your ricebowl should be intact.

mixed blessing!


But I will always strive to add real value, not profit off misery.

Hihi


Any comments about J&E Greenwich?

Actually I was told that my son who is 3 can only start at the Phonics Awareness stage which is essentially letter recog and sounds although my son already actually knows all his alphabets and the sound they make… How is it that Railway Mall allows 3yrs 4mths to join at intermediate level?

Thanks

Based on the assessment test that was conducted for him prior to the admission, he was allowed to advanced to intermediate class. According to them, he is one of the few who is able to do so as he scored very well for the test. The tester was very impressed by him he is now in advanced class n la able to read confidently

Wow! that's so great!

Did u hv to pay for the assessment test?

Hmm my son just turned 3 in June but he is able to sound out all the alphabets already so I'm wondering if the class I signed up wld be a waste of time.
