          At every PTM we attended, teachers will inform us of son's progress, his results of exam done and finally, indirectly how to improve. Like what ksi mentioned, we will take the warning from school and pay to buy hope.


          My son had never failed in his years since P1...but he failed at P5, and if I deny him tuition (hubby and I lost touch), what would that make me?
          A friend of mine is a tutor...she had urgent matters to attend today and as such didn't conduct classes. A parent called her if she could return home to give her daughter extra...her daughter doesn't have class today, besides this girl is scoring 90+ for English.

          There are varying degrees of kiasu. True, some give kids tuition to maintain position (to stay in top class). Sadly, academic is very much the real world here and other parts of Asia. We are buying hope, just like Revlon sells hope.
          Janet, if I have not wished you before...
          ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR DS' prelims and PSLE!!!
          Shower you sanguine and positive thinking, with compliments from 3Boys! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:
