Checking with mums here - do your kids stay back in school to study with friends after school hours?


Or do they prefer self-study at home?

Hi
My ds1 who did o levels last year preferred to study on his own in the beginning. But after prelims he stayed back for group study - not everyday but 2 or 3 times weekly. By prelims it's all revision where they exchange questions/notes/sample answers.
My DS2 is still on solo. He'll probably start group nearing to o levels prelims.

Thank you !!

Hi there parents, checking in into this page as i hv a son doing O levels this year..

About to get ready to leave house with DS1 - collecting O levels results.. 2 years stress in a row!
Wish me luck !

Hello, I need to find out more about the above learning centre but can't seem to find any info in the web. Please help..thank you !



:thankyou:

hi Jen thx…actually thats the course that he’s interested in.Coincendatally, their sch brougt them to Temasek Poly just yesterday and he was so thrilled to learn such a course being offered.


Im trying to get him out of his lazy attitude. He knows his dreams but expect them to just drop into his laps without thriving… sigh:(

Dear Haneyi


thank you for your kind advise…much appreciated. Will monitor him closely and hope pulls up his socks. He didnt do quite well in his last exams

thank you both for your replies…

Yes, he plays soccer once or twice aweek in the evening with his classmates. we all live closeby each other so they meet in the evenings for a game

Parents pls help me, as im in dilema

My DS1 is sitting for his NA exams this year. He had practically spent the entire school vacation playing PS3 and Xbox. I scream, shout, sweet talk to him to cut down on his games and revise his school work but he just doesnt listen. He told me he’ll stop once school term starts…
I still dont see him getting motivated and revising. Each time i remind him his promise he answers " mummy pls dont tell me wat to do…i know wat im doing and i’ll study"
I always end up walking out of his room baffled. Ive even threatened him if he doesnt wake up, ill pull him out of school as he is wasting everyones time and money…
I feel ive failed as a parent. Ive got him tuitions for A n E Maths, combine science and POA. but i still feel im not doing enough.
Lastly, he hasnt even come up with a time table for revision. As he is the first grandson, he doesnt have a cousin or older sibling that can seek guidance and motivation.
Someone pls help me what I should do and how to get it started…

thank you

[quote=\"maisy\"]hi

can anyone advise if the school makes the p1 kids bring lots of stuffs to school each day such that their bag is as \"heavy\" as during our time? My son is a yearend (premature) child and as such is very small frame - I worry more for his physical development as opposed to being protective (imagine big bulky heavy bag resting on tiny shoulders - wouldn't that stunt their growth?)

There are lockers provided for each student.
My two sons currently in sec 3 & 1 are ex Stephenanians.

Hi Hashroop
*waves*
We \"meet\" again


hi there yes time flies..
think it was $5
Wow time flies ... we were talking about your son's PSLE then and now your son is in Sec 1 !
Yeah and my son will be entering p1 next year hahaha
Thanks for your response. It's good they have lockers for every student. Do you remember how much they charge for the locker?
Thanks again :)[/quote]
