[quote=\"Garfieldpal\"]To be honest, art is quite a demanding subject. Make sure your child does well for art/home econs/ D&T in sec 2 as it determines the overall percentage crucial for streaming.

Hi, My daughter so far is coping ok except art. I am planning to send her for art tution during June Holiday. Do you have any good one to recommend? Thanks.

Hi, I don't think there is a need for art tuition unless she is taking or planning to take o level art. As long as she does her work on time and meet the requirements, which is fairly simple, she can score a decent grade. Those who doesn't do well for art are usually not giving enough effort.[/quote]Not everyone has the passion for art, and that also apply to music. Since Music was not graded, I really think art should not be graded too. Indeed, I know of few Secondary Schools that will combine art with other subjects, thus lower the weighting of those subjects as CCHM did for Science, in lower Sec, Bio, Chem & Physical are combine and in upper sec the student will only take 2 or more base on their ability.
My understanding is that CCHM don’t offer art in upper sec, but their offer Music, and yet art is graded whereas music in not graded.
I am also thinking of putting my kid in art tution, but will this help? I have 3 kids, none go for art courses, but one of kid somehow has some passion on art and she won few art prize.

[quote=\"Pam 2013\"]I'm getting worried for my boy. He didn't do well in the recent Essay writing. Does any of your child is attending any writing class for English? I think I may need to send him for essay writing class.

Hello Pam 2013,

Dont worry too much about your son's essays. Unless he is constantly failing all his essays, he should do fine. Encourage him to read more books. The school teachers will make sure your son will do well. I was from CCHMS.

Hello Garfieldpal, thanks for the advice. I will monitor his progress closely. I must have faith in him and the school :)[/quote]Hi,
My kids so far is coping ok. They stay late in school (till 6.30) about 2-3 times a week. They have no problem to finish their homework and go to bed by 10pm.
Yes, Chung Cheng has too many subjects. Just too many for us parents to worry, so I keeping a watching eyes. Not only the Chinese and English. my kids also faced problem with art.
Cancel all their tution, except for Chinese.
