I think it's possible to enjoy the 1st 2/3 years but it all voice down to one's expectations. Eg. do you want your dc to be in the best class from P3 onwards? Are you happy if your child is average but enjoying school?, etc...


Some kids are naturally bright and disciplined. But most are not and require parents' constant monitoring.... I recalled my 1st meeting with ds's (P5) P1 teacher. She asked if I was happy with his results. I said I was because he has improved from K2. Well he only scored 80+ while alot of his peers were doing 90+ or full marks So I think it really voice down to expectations.

80+ is consider very good to me. So far I hv no [number] expectation yet.

With 2 kids in P5 and P6, I personally think laying a strong foundation is important. Your child need not be top in class (scoring full marks, etc..) but your child must have a strong foundation and understanding what he/ she has learnt in lower primary so that they do not have to address these gaps in P5 and P6. Eg. maths concept.

For me, so long as they enjoy school, positive development through exposure in school activities (eg. cca, etc...), does well to make it to a decent secondary school, that is good enough.[/quote]


yes. Enjoy schooling and building foundation 1st...slowly and steady we only able to guide ....cos at the end of the day, it is them who are going to be in the exam hall.

Happy healthy kid will be more happy in life for long term. They will find their way, their path.....:p

I am those not kiasu type and think most mummies unlike me now? My son doesnt have any enrichment classes during weekends. No assessment books nor anything for him. Night time only help him with his homework, that's all. Before he go school, his own free time, can do whatever he wants/like.


Even if he's belong to the weaker kids, just attend remedial and he's happy about it? We just wanted him to enjoy his childhood. It's too stressful now...

me too. So far no enrichment class. ...:p but time is very limited for me too.

Glad that there is no exam for P1/2.

Less stressful.

Same here, my boy is in P1.
The meet session is on a weekday morning. Looks like I must take leave. 21 days of annual leave is NOT enough lol.

Me too. I'm thinking of applying for half day leave on that day. Do we need to bring our child along?
