There are tests every week...I like them bcos he has to revise after every lesson. He is doing ok for those tests so far and i am grateful bcos he puts in effort to study for them.
School load is definitely way lesser than last year. Tests if there was any, are rather small ones like just 1 sheet of paper. This bit we are happy. It's the meal breaks and timing that is disturbing.
If school stays this way, and end results for Olevels are ok. It would be great. PSLE in a brand school took out alot of DS's childhood and hopefully we can put back more bonding time outside of schoolwork. My last 6 years of bonding with DS was mostly homework time. I don't want to be remembered this way!
PSLE is over...so I hope to enjoy the slower pace but with him having longer hours in school now, bonding time seems quite tough. -
Janet, has your DS chosen the less time taxing CCA?

He is in infocomm CCA....was informed this is just once a week. But hours are a bit long. Friday nights...the only weekday he sleeps at at 930pm. CCA till 6pm. -
Yes, I think that’s a wise choice…better focus on academic curriculum !

My DS has not got the result of his CCA selection yet. But some of them have already been informed by the various CCAs whether they are successful or not.
I am very afraid that he may end up with a CCA he does not like and which needs to come back every Saturday. I wonder whether we can appeal if DS gets into a CCA he has no interest in, but still "force" to choose as he was required to put in 6 choices. -

CCA compulsory...so join one with minimal staying back.
At least after school can come back home to revise.
Literature not easy, same goes for his history and math.
Call me kiasu but he can't possibly be too involved with non-core stuff.
Only January but so many new stuff to learn. -
Yes you are right, so far I wonder is there any strategy to score literature? It’s all about English, and the understanding of the play, which unlike subject like maths, it’s either you got it right, or wrong.

Analyse the text... That's all I can say lol. My lit teacher in sec 4 helped us analyse our text, every sentence/word... Btw I got A1 for lit in the end

Sci can study
Math can practise
Literature got to feel - This is the subject I don’t enjoy. Too much to analyse. -

Hubby said geography requires some physics knowledge....I gave him that 'huh' look :siam: literature, I told son to ask questions in school when in doubt. History, I don't mind as it is like reading story book. Sec 1 ah...not easy man. Son told me it is as crazy as preparing for PSLE...even worse bcos time is insufficient every day.Sci can study
