tien heisn K2 tingxie has so many words in a sentence..so will.the kid.feel.stress if they ?cant remember and slowly hate chinese for that?

I believe the kids are already taught how to write these words in class as DS could write some of these words before I start revising with him. Not 100% right, but not totally off. I remember feeling slightly stressed when I got him to learn the list the night before the tingxie. Turned out it wasn't as tough as I thought. Of course, it would have been better if we had started earlier.

You know what I like about 天下？in a K2 class, 1 teacher will take care of 10 children. But in Berries, there is 1 main teacher and 1 asst teacher to about 16 children (correct me if I'm wrong). So it means 1 Berries teacher is teaching 16 children as compared to 1 天下teacher teaching 10 children.
Assistant teacher is to put for a better teacher student ratio. But in actual fact, 1 teacher to 10 children is better in 天下 than 1 teacher to 16 children in Berries.

Parents, know what you are paying for. Having lesser students in a class allows the teacher to spend more time to focus on each individual child for Oral Component like K2 Picture description in 天下 Oral for Preparatory P1 class.

I like the K2 Tien Tsia too. I like their materials n the word cards given every week. It is easier for me to revised with my DS.


However , for P3 class, is it true that TS standard is much higher? My DD just started to attend TS for a term. realized that she did not do well in the test paper by TS. Is it a concern?
