[GLORYmum]

BeContented,

May I know what is BP medication? Is it stands for boiling point?

My hubby taught son Science since P3. Son didn't fail science but stayed in the 60 mark range :frustrated: After SA2 in P5, we surrendered and brought in tutor. It's not as simple as what his teacher said 'to just give keywords' but more like how to answer open ended questions in a systematic way.


School teachers cannot assume all students in the class have tuition and just whizz through the subject. A friend was asked by her son's teachers why his English & Science homework were not corrected and taught by tutors. This is :siao: and ridiculous !!!

Its really crazy, sending them to school for knowledge, yet we need to coach them ourselves & need to send them for tuition. I wonder is it better for them to stay at home & learn from me instead??? :rant:

It's 100% true. Incident just happened.
So, MOE should seriously look into this. If my friend had informed the principal, will that P defend the teacher or investigate?

Sometimes can't help it leh. When I try to coach my kids Science, they yawn. :snooze: then I feel 'insulted' & start to :mad: :rant: :nunchuk: Often the session turn :stompfeet: :frustrated: It doesn't help when I'm also a quick-tempered & impatient person. (& not exactly strong in the subject)


Eventually I realised I :sick: am lousy at it....& outsourced. My kids so happy & feedback that it's more interesting for them & they learn more :oops: :sad:
But at least, I can have alternative else my BP medication have to be doubled. Now, kids tuition time is my shopping / bonding time with my hubby quite happy actually

Perfectly understand :hugs:

But you can't be very quick tempered lah, you are be contented leh! joke joke. If the children like it/enjoy it, good and by all means go ahead. So long as they like it and are not overly stretched, I don't see why anyone would discourage.

Those in blue, think this teacher encouraged tuition.

I have no say as long as both kid and parents are happy to have tuition. But my sons don't like & I don't want :moneyflies: .

Sorry :offtopic: for a while. Just noticed that I'm finally black belt.

Some Science chapters are dry. My hubby didn't know how to get son's attention...junior yawned :snooze: and father got pissed. Finally, hubby admitted he lost touch :faint:
