Another question:

Faridah has 190 blue and red beads altogether. 147 of the beads are round in shape, 3/4 of her blue beads and 5/6 of her red beads are round in shape. How many blue beads does she have?

Again thanks!

Need help on this question:


There were some pens and pencils in a box. When Ali took out 24 pencils, there are 5 times as many pens as pencils left. If he had taken out 60% of the pens from the box instead, he would have twice as many pencils as pens left. How many pens were in the bo at first?

TIA!

During our time, parents were not so Kiasu & so involved in their kids' studies. Of course, the standard is not so high too.

Nowadays the kids can solve funny funny questions which seem that the standard is very high. However, I feel that they may not have very strong foundation compared to our time.

My child is currently in a small tution group of 2 to 4 students taught by a ex-teacher. We also tried the tution centre. We also know the strategy of annotation etc. However, the marks still can't improve. Anyone has any advice? Can someone recommend a 1-to-1 home tutor?

for which subject?

For English. Anyone can recommend a home tutor?

Does anyone know if the T-score given by the school is equivalent to the national level? Heard that for NYPS’s T-score + 20 = National Level’s T-score.


Is that true?

I think school only introduced cut fruit this year. Previously the children was given 1 whole fruit. Earlier years, they got to bring their fruit.


When my child brought home the fruit previous year, there was nothing special about the fruit but something that we could easily bought from the market, also the fruits were not fresh.

This year, we opt-out when was told it’s cut-fruit. We reckoned the fruit would not be fresh since it’s cut.

Hi Cheerful07,


My child attended both Hougang and transferred to Bishan.

I feel that Hougang is better. The setup is smaller thus, the teachers care to even talk and feedback to parents about the child’s progress.

Bishan centre is much bigger. My experience is that it’s done as a business. When I approached the teacher of how I could help improve my child, her response is "to read the textbook more times". Perhaps that’s true. However, the attitude was kind of "don’t come bother me".

I’m not sure about the both centres now as teachers come and go. It really depends on your luck to get a caring teacher.
