I was told by my DS form teacher that only English & Maths results would be taken into consideration for streaming to P3 class. She said the students will be streamed to different chinese classes in P3 anyway. Is it true? Asking this becos chinese is my DS’s weakest subject. He is in P2. Worried that he can’t get into the top 3 P3 classes if his chinese score will be taken into consideration. Anyone can advise?

Went my DS's school briefing on holistic assessment for P1 last nite. While the objective of HA is to make learning less stressful with no exam. I found myself more stressed! Our kids are expected to be all rounders! For example english, the weighting will be on reading, writing, show and tell, penmanship.. My DS got his first reading assessed yesterday. Was happy to see he was rated as independent reader with only one mistake- pronounced- screamed without \"ed\". However. He was also assessed on the fluency and expression- assessed as \"read in a monotonus voice\" . I began to wonder is HA really making learning less stressful. For those with children who went through HA, any advice ? Still need to prepare the same for his ML !
