My DS is in P3 and came home 1 day crying saying that her Chinese had deducted 10 marks from her this 听写because she forgotten to do correction for the previous 1.


We called up the school level master and they investigated. The teacher gave reason saying that it was a multiple related offence. But my daughter crossed her heart that it was her 1st time. So apparently it’s either the teacher lied to protect himself or he confused her with others.

On fact she already owned up to him that she has forgotten to do correction but he brushed her off impatiently.

Any suggestions what should we do?

Hi I am a newbie…

We totally understand the principle of this issue. I constantly think is it becos she is the only child and also becos I am a SAHM, things can be blown out of proportion.


I keep telling myself not to stress her and let her enjoy school life but things always get out of control. It’s always easier say then done. Isn’t it?

Hi this is my first day in kiasuparent.com. saw this thread and find that I totally agree with what GreenBelt wrote. I have a girl who just enter into P1 and I kept telling myself and my hubby not to compare results between her and her best friend. Especially when she is in a school so competitive.


We get upset when she did not get the results for her 2nd modular test (23 /25for english, 20 </25for maths, 21/25 for chinese) compared to the results from her first (25/25 for english, 24/25 for maths, 23/25 for chinese).

I have convinced myself that what she gets is good enough but subconsciuosly I will bring up the issue that her results have gone down. Having say that, I would immediately regret but can’t take back my words anymore.

I am now in dilemma of am I expecting too much from her?

Good morning everyone,


I am new in the kiasuparent.com. have been surfing around and found this thread with parents having the same issue as me. One child issue.

My girl was from 2nd pregnancy and 3rd pregnancy was a pair of boy/girl twins which we lost them on 27 weeks and almost lost my life on the surgery table, last pregnancy no heart beat at 8th weeks.


To this point, we finally concluded that we are not fated with with more children. We rest our case and gave up. Now we just concentrate nurturing this only 1 daughter
