P1 DS copied and lied
-
just beware of burnt out too early too young
let him slack around a little should not be too bad
he will get lots of revision / past year papers when he gets to pri 5 & 6 -
Thank you for all the advice.
Yet I still believe that practice makes perfect… He its not really clever…the only good subject is math…so only math I go for challenging Qns…
I dun think the workload is too heavy… His schedule is simply…
He wakes up at 8 everyday…he plays till 9:30. 9:30-11 he does his work…then he plays and waits for lunch… Then its free time till Sch… Unless its spelling day… That we do revision before he hours to school.
After school he starts his work at 8…school work if any then my work… Most of the time its around 8 pages… Then he’s free till I finish work around 9:30pm… Then we go thru his errors… Read stories… Play games and he sleeps at about 10:30…
Sat is usually play day… The Dd2 goes for ballet class gets to choose to follow our stay home to play… Afternoon he goes for creative writing class then we are off to mum’s place where he plays with all his cousins…
Sun he attends church and sun school then 3+ then we go shopping or watch TV at home… If e stay home then 1 hr of homework on sun…
He is actually rather free… The reason he did so much is cos we kept it regular… So that he dun forget what he learnt… -
ya of course you know your child better

My DS did that when he was p1.
I made him copy compo since he liked to copy so much.
Of course after the punishment I did explain why he shouldn’t do that.
He did twice and the second time, I double the punishment.
Thereafter, he stopped doing it.
Every child is different. -

Wow. Where to begin....hi mommies,
my DS committed the \"crime\" trice within a month.. and its driving me mad!!
during the last week of the hols, i was marking one of my son's assessment books when i found a piece of crayon in between the pages of the answer key... i looked at his \"prefect\" answers and starting questioning.. at first he said he never looked at the answer.. after serious questioning he finally admitted... i explained to him that copying from the answer keys is not right and lying is worse..
3 days later, he did it again! i was hopping mad :mad: and gave him a slashing... i told him he had jeopardised my trust in him and i removed all the answer keys from all his books.
Yday, i was marking his math book and saw that all his sums are missing working... (it was a new book and the answer keys are still intact)...
i was extremely disappointed and mad.. and DH caned him....
Any mommied experienced the same thing?
how can we make him understand that this is unacceptable.. (although i was rather impressed that he is able to make out which unit, which exercise and which answers to copy amongst the wordy answer key)
we have explained, scolded and cane....
really not sure what to do if it ever happen again... which i bet will as he is only in P1......
\" i was rather impressed that he is able to make out which unit, which exercise and which answers to copy amongst the wordy answer key\"
Mixed messages, much? With so much emphasis on completing a task and getting high scores, who cares about making learning fun and interesting?
BTW, and this is only my humble opinion, but caning a child when you put temptation in his way (leaving him with access to the answer sheets!) isn't very Christian of you or your \"DH\". (You mention you are church-goers in later posts.) How hard does DH decide to strike the cane - just to cause bruising or is broken skin occasionally OK with you?
This post will no doubt enrage you. Rest on it a while before responding.

Nope didn’t enraged me…
I am not a Christian n neither are my family…
We are old school parents are belief in my parents’ way of parenting…
My parents are illiterate folks… But they teach morals well…
But because are educated… We do our parenting the same but we explain to the kids too…For you
For your info… The first time I came my soon was when he was one and half yo… He went into the kitchen and climbed onto the drawers door handles…
This its the 2ND t time.
How hard the strikes? Enough for him to understand that what he did is wrong…
Btw Christians dun cane? Who are you to claim for all Christians?
And says who are all parents who are strict and traditional upbringing dun care about making learning fun and interesting??? -

Btw life is full of temptations… In my context, having the answer keys left in the books doesn’t make it right for him to copy… And hence faultless and not to be punished…
In life there will be more and bigger temptations… It doesn’t mean that he is right to commit it and not be judged or punished…
It he is wrong he is wrong… We will not educate him to blame others and say things like ‘look… Its not my problem… Someone left the temptations behind to tempt me’ -

I believe in scolding/use hands to smack too if my DD is wrong in doing certain things. I am not saying that caning is wrong. But I dont use cane as I am a bad-tempered person at times and I worry I may hit very hard.
Yes, I agree with you that scolding or caning does not mean we kill the interest of the child. We as the parents are always trying our best to teach the good values.
Btw, my DD copied the answers in P2 and I scolded her, threw away the book, etc…I stapled the answers then. Nevertheless, she did it again. I just threaten her that I will inform her form teacher. Of course, I also talked with her and clarified that mummy dont expect her to get all correct all the times. She is very scared and then stopped doing that (I hope so). -

That wasn't my point. He was wrong. I was questioning the mixed messages you are giving him and your choice of resorting to physical punishment of a young child.XXXX

BTW, I've put up a poll on the use of caning, please feel free to vote and contribute your views there.
