Primary 1 English so hard?
-
concern2:
Becos 'S' is made up of 'curve' while the other 3 alphabets has 'curve n straight line' :laugh:Why 'S' har? Because it is written only with one stroke while the rest with 2 or more is it?
Then should be an art question, no?
Interesting hor, I prob. don't mind my girl having those questions, rather than complain about it - just don't take it into the grading lah.. -
Is this a test or worksheet? I read that it's a worksheet and I supposed it is as the parent could take a photo of the blank worksheet. Tests would have been done in class, not taken home.
EVEN if it's a test, I doubt it's gonna be graded, perhaps just for teachers to gauge the children's cognitive ability at the start of the year. Maybe to better plan for differential learning experience. Anyway, supposed to be no \"serious\" exams in P1 and the whole P1 class would be promoted together to P2, so no need to be unduly kancheong lah.
Children would definitely ask someone for answers if they do the worksheet at home. If the purpose is diagnostic, then is it to understand the students or their parents better? :scratchhead: -

the purpose of the worksheet is to find out which students has parents that are kiasu
if this were a ‘real’ graded worksheet that is indicative of grades inflation, I’m off to find tuition for my sperm and wife’s eggs (as mrbrown puts it) -
Maybe this paper was prepared and handed out by parent volunteer during contact time. My kids have been given worksheets which were beyond them. Some were general knowledge, others riddles or brain teasers.

Personally I used to hate it when my kids were test on fact or myth when they were in lower primary… I thought it was quite challenging for kids that age to tell if a statement is a fact or a myth.

Who cares? I figure that if my kiddo reads one Geronimo Stilton a week and watches enough TV, her Engrish will become more powderful than any enrichment centre/tuition can teach in a year. And it will cost me the whole of... 50 x $10 = $500.
Fluency in languages cannot be taught in classrooms or tuition. It comes from actually using it. They can take those P1 tests and stuff it. -

:goodpost:Yes exactly, reading is the key to doing well in English and the more the child reads the stronger the language skills.Who cares?

Ahhh....personally, I write all the rest of the given alphabets with more strokes (as the way the kids are taught in a standard English handwriting class). So if I were to take the test, I would still get the first question right, except that my reasoning is different. That doesn't say much about my level of English, does it?
