Preparing your kid for Primary 1 without tuitionhttps://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/parenting-education/preparing-your-kid-for-primary-1-without-tuitionI read the article. Some parents are not able to prepare their children so they sent them for tuition. Eg: China parents will send their children for English tuition to catch up with local kids who speak English. From the article, if the parents are able to teach and coach their children (eg: they are tutors ), the children will not need to be outsourced for external tuition as the parents can coach them. I know of a school principal who reveal that she sent her children for tuition too as she is simply too busy to teach them. It all boils down to how much the parents know their children and wants to give them a head-start so that they will not struggle in P3. Honeymoon years P1 and P2 are the important years to build up the foundation. Thus, take the article with a pinch of salt and question yourself if your child needs external help and seek for it. There must be a balance of work and play too.
