My girl is in the afternoon session. She reached home at 7.30pm. She will take a break & then take her dinner at 8pm. She will take an hour to eat before taking her shower. By the time she settle down & ready to do her work, it will be around 9.30pm. Normally, we go to bed at midnight.
Oh mummy so kiasu,mummy so kiasu:
Ha..ha.. So we have the same problem. Have to put everything aside just to sit with her. Just doing homework & learning spelling will take 3 hours. We even have to go to bed at midnight. Can you imagine she is only P2. What will happen when she is in P5/P6?
12 midnight is way too late for a P2. Won't this cause more disruptions the next day when your DD is tired?
If my DSs sleep late, they will be even slower the next day moving around like slow Zoombies. So my target is to get them both to bed as early as possible. DS no.1 (9-9.30pm) since he is in Sec 1 and DS no.2 (8.30 - 9pm). -
Kids in afternoon session have a very tight schedule…after reaching home (provided stay near), it is close to 7pm, take a shower and then have dinner…this is faster bcos it is not possible to bathe right after dinner.
It is close to 745pm and after 5 min rest, start to get homework done. Poor child will be a zombie by about 830…more tired if there is PE.
Get ‘heavy duty’ work done in the morning…stuff like compo, math hw, learning spelling for eg. 习字 can finish at night.
Son in sec 1 sleeps at about 11pm…after getting written work done, he has to revise.
Mornings wake up at 6am…breakfast and then wash up…leave the house at 630am. -

It's part of the learning process of growing up in a world with all kinds of people. If life were too smooth, our kids would all end up soft and wimpy.[/quote]:goodpost: slmkhoo..
That's why I feel so heart pain for the students. They cannot argue back! They can only 忍!忍!忍!GanCheong Parents:

don't such teachers already existed in our era?
not to mention teachers, bosses/clients also sometime like that. but difference is that students can't quit school. :frustrated: -
to have to face unreasonable teachers is show the kids they would have to face unreasonable bosses when they start to work…of course not every boss is unreasonable…even if they quit, there is no guarantee the new company will not have unreasonable boss(es) or colleagues either.

My girl will not settle down & do her work after 5 min of rest. She will chit chat with ko ko or daddy, endless stories to tell. She also get distracted easily, finding out what others are doing. Not forgetting she is a slow worker.Kids in afternoon session have a very tight schedule...after reaching home (provided stay near), it is close to 7pm, take a shower and then have dinner...this is faster bcos it is not possible to bathe right after dinner.

School bus picks her up at 11.45am in the morning & she needs to take her lunch at 10.30am. Writing compo will take 2 hours. How to do it in the morning? Will end up missing the school bus. -
Afternoon session has this big disadvantage…time is so tight. Nights, kids are so tired and mornings so rushed for time.
When son was in the afternoon session for P1/2, I would get him to take warm bath after school and then have dinner. After short rest, start doing homework…he didn’t have much, so we can finish most of the time. He slept at about 10pm after tossing for a while. Mornings I woke him at 8, have light breakfast and revise. Lunch at 1130, shower and off to school.
Had to be very strict to make sure he works fast. -

Your boy is more discipline & more focus. All kids are different. It might not work on your girl.Afternoon session has this big disadvantage...time is so tight. Nights, kids are so tired and mornings so rushed for time.

Hi mummy so kiasu,
My son was not disciplined at all…lost count of how I had to nag and scold to get him to work fast. Mornings I had to sit beside him to else he will day dream…cannot even answer a phone call as he would run off to play. When I leave the room, he will follow me.
With my daughter, I had to be stricter. But honestly I left her on her own when she was in lower primary…it is only this year that I spend more time with her. She is very stubborn. -

My school bus used to pick me up at 11.20 am (long, long ago), and I remember having lunch at 10.30am. Maybe letting her leave work incomplete (and face the teacher's wrath) a couple of times will help her speed up? -
