2013 Sec 1 Discussions

mummy so kiasu:

Great to hear that...the first common test in Sec 1.
75% for Geog is an A1 :rahrah:
Son got a B for literature...I am relieved he passed.
As for the rest, he did well and though I am happy, this mummy here will advise him to continue to work hard and not get complacent (son called me a wet blanket). I am happy honestly but just don't want good grades to get into his head and become swell headed.

Congrats Janet & fifiyeo,
Both of your sons did well. It is a good start for Sec 1 & it will motivate them to work hard in order to maintain the good grades. The good results will give the boys more confident in themselves. The boys can do it if they put in more effort. Janet, your boy is right. Don't be a wet blanket leh! Sometime I make the same mistake as you. Give him a treat & a hug for his effort. Cheers! :rahrah:[/quote]

Thanks!

I want to praise him...but if I do, he will get swell headed and think he is very smart. So I just said, 'Good, keep it up.' Anything more, he will really swell. I know this boy.

We ordered in pizza last Sunday....opened a few cans of soft drinks...different flavours

I also cannot stop CL tuition too. Everything else I can try to figure out but for CL I had better get help and don't play play. Half the words I've already forgot how to read them. Ooops!

The Chinese standard today is beyond our time. I dare not take the risk.
Holiday homework has been given out. I told my son to get them completed ASAP...pref before holiday starts...then he can revise subjects.
He is playing these few days...daughter has CA.

Just curious,what is ur son playing? Playing games? No longer play toys,right?

Mine craft. Watch YouTube.

A mini celebration is good for recognition of hardwork.

My place has no toys…kept at mum’s place.

Bcos his Nintendo ds is kept up most of the time, he will find entertainment on iPad…since he did well for common test, I allowed him to play DS…after he has completed one subject of his holiday hw.

Told him this march holiday, he has to read up literature. Start revising all other subjects as well. He grumbled, so I told him to return the DS to me.
