      Hope to get a quick opinion regarding ICAS. Submission date is tmr.


      Any of your kiddos opt out of the testing? With so much work and so little time, I value every opportunity for dd to be home early instead of having to stay back in school. We are thinking of opting out on all 4 areas of testing. Will we miss out on anything by not signing up? TIA

      No harm signing up since no preparation is needed. It's during school hours. Take it as an exam practice.

      No need to prepare and it's during school hours. If most classmates taking, teacher won't be conducting lesson during time of test anyway

        Yes, no need for any preparations. Already so many tests n exams in the regular curriculum. Enough practice lah :sad:

        P5 workload is just crazy. If u are in the top few classes, they 'stretch' u. If in the last few classes, they 'remedial' u. Up until P4, dd didn't stay back after school at all, except for the occasional optional activities. I just miss having her home early lor :oops:

Squashed ssplaat :rotflmao: when both ends snap?

              I feel it is so scary that this just marks the start of years of slogging. Is it going to get any better when the kids go to secondary school or jc?subjects twice the amount and some schools need them to take up two ccas. Coupled with longer distances, teenage hormones challenge, this year seems just a scratch on the surface ! :faint:

                  My boy is quite auto pilot.
                  It is the time management issue that I face. His slowness in getting things done. Once homework is out of the picture like today, getting him to revise is a breeze. But how effective his revision technique are, we shall see from his results.

                      What is ICAS?


                      Why my school doesn’t offer anything? nothing for students.
