One of my girl's Science test paper question, what should Harry do to prevent the bread from turning moldy? Her answer: eat it.


There goes 2 marks!!! Sigh!

So funny but like what funz said shes not wrong logically.

Guess there will be more creative answers like this..since its their first exam proper..
My DS got all results back except for Science.. ..
This exam quite a 'killer' compared to P2.. Average for subjects all kena 'slide'..

Ran out of ideas trying to manage school topics for my 9 year old and frustrated with some of the life skills being taught at my son's school ie. none. I get the impression that the only thing they expect is that he behaves like a robot (follows all instructions, logical or otherwise 100 %) and score well in his exams..


Stumbled on this forum, still browsing though the pages and with luck, I get get some guidance from the in house 'guru's and forumers.

What topics were you trying to manage?

Excuse the delay, reading the posts .... I am fascinated with the myriad of issues and perceptions.

On my son, mainly on a solution (likely won' be a wonder pill option) to guide him on choosing the correct path for himself at school. He does not sit still in class and talks a lot. I was like that as well when I was young but this is just not tolerated at all in school.
While I set schedules and behavioural standards at home, I allow a certain amount of flexibility as long as he can give me a reason on why he did something we didn't agree on earlier. I try almost all the time to give him time to explain himself. I understand in school that he is not given this opportunity and I can understand why as well. With so many kids, classes would go into overtime if this is allowed.
Its like I try to follow the 'best' practices if I may call them that but he is not getting the same message at home and in school. If I follow the school, then I am denying him the opportunity to answer for his actions. The last thing I want is for him to rebel behind my back.

And I do have a question to contribute on mock exams.

A diver finds a black object at the bottom of the ocean. Provide 3 methods he can use to tell that its alive or not. Answer : Poke it with a stick, poke it again and then poke it for the 3rd time. I found it funny and creative, and yes 0 marks.
The answer was to check if it needed air, food or water. I would have given that answer 0 as well ... but then again, I am not a scientist. :?

hmm, open ended questions begat open ended answers


such a Q would need a flexible marking scheme.

your son should have gotten 1 mark at least. he can say, i would poke it with a stick to see if it will respond to changes in the environment.

or i poke it a 2nd time to see if it will move (locomotion is a characteristic of living things, in particular, animals)

then he will get 2 marks.

but then, i did not get to set the marking scheme.

Peapot, my girls said that's a good answer and that your DD is actually quite right. They laughed themselves silly over it! :rotflmao: then asked, \"Anymore funny answers (for other questions) from other KSP parents' kids?\"

That's OE (open-ended) for you.
The possibilities are out there...

just wondering ur kiddos maths topic for now which one is the teacher teaching already???

[pinkbearbear]

Hi everyone, I have a pri 2 son studying at De Lasalle school. He is falling behind his grades as he had a bad foundation from k1,k2.(taiwan) My family relocated to Taiwan cos my hubby was working there. When we moved back to singapore with he is in pri 1, he was tailing behind:(. He has become not too interested in studying. And the form teacher asked me to send his for private tuition. 1-1. I thought school teachers are supposed to help as much as they could, instead of throwing the kid to private tuition?

I am nit sure if i am wrong in thinking this way. Pls advise:) My pri 5 girl has no prob. I think she has a strong foundation in sg education. She continued her pri2 and 3 education in Taiwan two years back.
Hope you guys can help.
thank you
