Hi happiest, superann and Brenda10,


Thanks for all your advice . I will try it out the method and see how it works. I’ve been telling myself too, don’t give up , have to keep working with her …

Hi all,


I would like to seek help if any parents face the same problem with me ....
I have this problem when my DD does her Maths problems. Any problem sums, sometimes when she reads it, the next minute, 'mummy, I don't know how to do.\" when I go through with her, break it down, she can do it. I am wondering if she understands the concept or she is lazy to think out of the box or she does not have confidence to work through the sums herself.

I felt lost on what to do to help her .

Recently she got back her maths CA , she got a B. Is it on the safe side ?
Obviously , I wld hope she gets a A.

Another question is how to read the COP to enter secondary sch under the MOE website, as they have few Columns, like \"low, Upper, mean, median,\"

Thanks. :idea:

Hi, anyone to share and good tips ? Thx !

Thanks Shirley for your advice.


Have been talking to her since then. Not sure if it is the school culture, will discuss with teacher.

And again, She told me that there is one science question in paper 2 which only consists of 1 mark, according to her teacher, only 1 girl in the whole level answer correctly.....

I really has mixed feelings. One hand, hope that she does well for all subjects, on the other hand, if she doesn't do well, just feel sorry when see her sad face as not to stress her.

My girl got back her SA1 results, she was sad that she failed her English, according to her, only 5 in the class pass. She mentioned that the papers are marked by P6 teachers.


To her, this is the first time she failed English. She is in P5 this year

Although I am sad too, I have to talk to her advice her that this is not end of the world, as she is afraid that she don’t get good grades for PSLE.

is this the right approach to talk to her ? Has anyone encounter such problems and what do you do ? By giving students such difficult papers, will it demotivate students instead.

I’ve just received email from the Sch that I’ve completed the 40 hrs parent volunteer, for my son registration this year to p1 next year… Hope able to make it !


Any parents here are in the same position as me ? If so, hope our children will get in , at least we have nor wasted our effort !!!
