Hi TAS,


How about books by Louis Sachar especially the book Holes, the plot looks interesting but not sure if it is good in terms of helping for creative
writing?

This is one big-headache area! It is very hard to teach, I tried using newspapers, it helped a little, especially if you put similar stories together, like all accident type together, all health type…but the improvement is not that drastic…I think this component, the children must read and read and read!

Hi,


Anyone heard of the Marshall Cavendish science guidebook, is it any good?
:?

Hi,


Just to add to what some parents have said, I find that the the kids come out very interested to learn more and are more creative, I might not have seen a lot of academic improvement but I think if everything is solely based on results, it is also very stressful for the kids…I know of some friend’s kids who improve after they go for the ‘drilling’ kind of tuition but after that, they get very stressed and also keep requesting to drop out of tuition…

Just some thoughts on this:)

Thanks GreenQ

Hi GreenQ and thebusybee,


Could you pm me the details! TIA

Anyone tried the one at Lavender foodcourt, it is excellent, although there is always a long wait to get it…

Hi vfong1,


She is now 7 years old, she took about half a year to improve but when she did, it was permanent! At least it seems that way, I have another friend whose 12 year old girl is there, she is now joining SOTA as she really found a passion of the Arts after that!

Hi tree_nymph,


It really looks fun, maybe if they open another one, hopefully it would be near your place:)
