Strong family support and lots of motivation and encouragement is needed.

Yes, my son just complained when I told him to start sleeping early....I had to remind him that HIS holidays started since Oct 2...longer than his sister.
2012...a year of sheer hard work...but thank goodness ended with joy.

For 2013, I would like to see:


1. Previously-active KSP forummers returning to KSP to share their knowledge or just chit chat
2. some fun like what we used to have (aka games)
3. auctions 🦆

Mod: I wanted to edit my earlier post to the above but can only quote myself. Change of system? :?

One thing I feel we should be doing is to compare ours with other countries' system as our environment is very different, with huge emphasis on psle and s1 streaming.


but then compare with which country - other east asian countries with their heavy emphasis on education and have similar maths / sci scores as singapore? i.e. they achieve same results but from different or similar education system paths?

I feel that good family support benefits our children more effectively. To rely on Govt/MOE/etc is unrealistic.

There are threads on what some KSP members would like to see in new MOE directions. Many good suggestions were mentioned.[/quote]Totally agree, Jennifer. What I meant was government to put the school systems not to be only focusing on academic as the teachers are really pushing the kids very very hard. Kids coming home with loads of homework.. at times 3-4hours of homework!

If comparing to other country's school system, the kids develop more self learning skills, more space for creativity...

So would I. Unfortunately, such discussions tend to be sensitive and sometimes marred by rude behavior brought about by intolerance or impatience. Many parents are very passionate about their stand on the issues and tend to take it personally when their views are criticized.

No. These will not be advertorials. No advertising will be allowed in these articles and they will be pure sharing of techniques and methods.

:goodpost:

We will be focusing on getting parents and educators contribute to a new learning corner in KiasuParents.com to teach our community how to work with our children. We already have contributors for experiential learning and Chinese teachings. Please let us know about other topics that you might like to read.
