Hee! Miffymiffy, u sound like a fun mum! Is it becoz u don hve to sit down and help your princess with her homework? Even with the little homework that my little dear has, I hve to arrange a time for her and sit with her to do it.


So I’d rather she has less so I don have to do ‘homework’ too! I guess I must sound very terrible amongst the many very hardworking parents here!

[3chips]

Great to know I’ve a kaki like you chu! Looks like we r on the same boat!


Hi cindycsm, I think I’ve read a reply from nms1 about higher Chinese at OLGC. Maybe you can read the previous thread. I’m still relatively new here so I don know how to quote and paste it in here but you can check on page 13 in this forum. Hope that helps you.

:boogie: Hello 3Chips
Mmmm..normally I do not sit down with my girl to help her do homework.Not sure if I am doing the correct thing but i was advised by letting her do the homework by herself, she can be more independent.Anyway, I really cannot sit beside her to teach her because of the followings:
1. Bad temper me! Once I spot any mistake or her handwriting is bad, my voice will escalate and i feel that i will make her loss confidence. So i better make myself disappear before her confidence disappear too.
2. Hubby is super busy and sometimes overseas and I still have a young toddler to look after and my never-ending housework is waiting for me everyday.How to sit beside her to teach her? ( btw, i have no maid too as yr sincerely is the maid at home 24/7).

Luckily for me, my girl is rather independent and she always complete homework all by herself.However, I did reassure her to come to me whenever she has difficulty in any subject, after which i will sit down with her to solve the problem.

The other situation whereby I will make sure I sit down with her is during her online maths questions. This is a optional website which OLGC will encourage yr child to sign up and the child can access many and various types of Maths questions whole year round. The website is called \"problemsum.com\" and personally I find this website very good and my child is learning a lot from there.
Take care!

Hi,
We received an email from the school about teacher's day. Did you get it too? This bit here should answer your question: \"We would like to discourage our girls from spending unnecessarily and buying expensive gifts for their teachers. All our girls have been given a coloured slip to express their thanks to their teacher. The template is attached for parents who wish to thank the teachers. This will be collated and handed to the respective teachers.

They can also go the following website to express their thanks and wishes – http://www.teachersday.sg\"
Hope it helps.
