British Council - Discussion

[bernice]

I ever send my daughter to their holidays class which cost me $550 for a week.

I dont see any results. (I guess it was too short to judge)
The only concern I have is they didnt mark my daughter’s assisgnments, they will just share the correct answer to them at the end of the day. Hence, I couldnt gauage if my daughter had fully understood what was taught.

Hmm...This info is good to know before other parents decide.

Any updates on BC’s K2 programmes? There do not seem to have recent updates so far.

[quote=\"yap_susan\"]Any parent has sent your child there? Is it good?

Ds1 attended their holiday creative writing last year and p6 exam preparation course for 1 term. Supposed to be for 1 semester since we paid but we gave up attending. He didn't like it. Me neither. Find that other enrichment centres provide better stuff.

Hi,
Why give up on the P6 Exam preparation course, any reason? why he did not like it? how is the lesson like? please give more information.thanks[/quote]My son attended the P6 preparation class too. He commented that it was much easier than school. However, friend's son had attended the school holiday's creative writing class & said it was good.

DS now in sec1 class. Yesterday, I asked him how much knowledge he has gained in the class, he said 7 out of 10. When I asked him how good is the teacher ability to provide him the knowledge, he said 9. …

Where/ can I find updated discussions on British Council courses, especially on Secondary programs?

My daughter 5yrs old is currently attending BC and ICR.

She has attended BC for 2 yrs. She just started ICR 2 mths ago.
I find that the BC program seems simplistic. ICR at least has a textbook.

I am very eager to put my kid to this course. But my husband kept say no no no, thinking that I'm too kiasu (ya, that's why I'm here, right? :rotflmao: ) My kid is currently doing very well in her written Chinese, but not so well in her English although she speaks English all the time.

Has anybody got any review on the programme for Primary School kids by British Council?
