The motivation has to come from him. I have seen parents helping extensively with secondary school projects and assignments. The kids won't learn anything and also won't learn project work dynamics - deadlines, skivers, free loaders, arguments, division of work, harnessing other's abilities etc. worse, they look towards the parents for subsequent projects.

Yes, kids have to learn how to manage projects and work with others. I don't know about sec school, but currently in the university, there are lots of projects and the marks that you get are heavily moderated by peer review from your project mates, who will not tolerate free-riders. Have seen students who are otherwise A achievers failing the project component because of negative peer reviews

Yes, it is done in my gal's sec sch....
Pupils are req to do assessments and award marks on peers' contributions of project works....

Was so glad when DS was in P5 and I managed to find all the right tutors for him, feeling assured he was in very good hands. Now after crossing the PSLE bridge, got to source around for good secondary tutors for him again, maybe trial and error for some time before hitting the jackpot..

Hi Julialai,

I found a good tutor for my DS through a nice lady from Tutors' Circle last year. Very professional, she discussed my DS's needs patiently and linked me to a suitable tutor. Really impressed with the professional work. They interviewed and verified tutor's qualifications and got the tutor to show me the education certs on the first lesson. Can't remember her tel no. You can email her at [email protected].

I saw this assessment on editing at Popular for secondary…from my understanding, there are lesser components compared to primary but difficulty level is different.

Maybe you want to pose this question on the NJC's thread.
