Yes study smart not hard. Otherwise there won't be time left to sleep. I'm still trying to maintain 9pm lights out.
DS got no supplementary lessons but instead they have to stay back for complusory Hip Hop Dance till 4.30pm once a week. Not sure how useful is this for DS as he has absolutely no interest!

DS’s school rules states no ankle socks but I see a bunch of older kids wearing that. Wonder if discipline is lacking?

My DS school will have Bangla Dance lessons. But not sure when they are starting. I think it should be quite fun lah! Tell your kid to \"let loose\" and enjoy and take a break from studying.Yes study smart not hard. Otherwise there won't be time left to sleep. I'm still trying to maintain 9pm lights out.

Gotta study smart.
Last night, my son showed me a page from his student planner.
Mon, Tue, Thur - compulsory supplementary lessons.
CCA result just known...either Wed or Fri from 230pm to 6pm.
Left with 1 day early dismissal.
Time management skills must be put in use. -
Janet, maybe your DS’s school tries to give extra help to all the kids. So maybe when he comes home, he already has most of the information implanted in his head.

Hahaha...DS got 2 left feet so very bad at dancing. That's why it's not his cup of tea.

He can't wait for CNY.
I lost touch of his numerous tests...but as a parent, I am very grateful for the extras. -

So many supplementary lessons at Sec in term 1? Got time for CCA? The teachers are giving them a good head start by preparing the kids for O level early. Just like we had started preparing our kids for PSLE at P4. Don't worry, your boy is in good hands. My boy will only get his tests next week & so far no supplementary lessons.
I guess this school expects students not to have other tuition or coaching, so provides the extra classes? If the school provides this, then maybe your son may not need so much other help.janet_lee88:
I didn't expect supplementary lessons till 430pm after school on Mon, Tue, Thur and Friday...I told him he must wake up after 30 min nap bcos he has to get homework done and revise for endless tests. He has tried to go w/out nap but was a zombie by 7pm. -
Oh dear, after reading all the postings, I am worried that my DS school is too relax. Only one English comprehension test so far to gauge their standing. Maths slow pace with hardly any homework (finish in less than 15 min). Nothing heard for Humanities subjects.
Only killer homework so far was English journal, lots of research and analysis to prepare the GP std writeup.
DS still enjoying all the CCA trials that will go on till mid Feb I think. Selection for Sports merciless, school already said no leisure sport CCA participation. Every sport is competitive only. -
