We did feedback in Term 2 that the sch returned the files to us on weekly basis. The teacher explained that the reasons why they are keeping the files in sch is because most kids will end up losing the worksheets if they are allowed to bring them home. And when we asked if her teacher if my gal was really that weak..she commented that she is not the weakest..the school actually provided remedial and extra coaching for those students that are very weak. This leaves me the impression that my gal is coping fine. But now I think, I shd not wait for her result to slip further into red before the school alarms me. It will be too late, right?
Hubby said he is going to talk to the teacher again..and asked what kind of support they are expecting from the parents if we are not seeing the actual works in sch.
As for Compre, out of 5 questions, abt 2-3 are those inferential types which she cannot copy word for words from the passage. I am also upset with my gal cos apparently she did not check her answers. She could underline the key words in the passage and yet reply something out of nowhere. And when I asked her to read the sentences which she wrote, and asked her if these sentences sound "right" she smiled sheepishly and said no. *faint*. Asked her if she checked before she submitted the paper..she insisted she did...I wondered how she did she check.
Amazing we hardly speak Chinese at home, but she did better in Chinese. I am wondering where exactly does the issues lie???

I also saw the LW open house..but it is a weekday and school dismisses at 630pm..not sure if I can make it in time.

Thanks for the feedbacks on Learning Pt. I think writing skills be more critical in P3 onwards..but it is good to start young. The only drawback it its location..I hate the parking at Thomson Plaza..and it is inconvenient to take public transport there.
I have heard positive feedback from Learning Pt..perhaps that explains the long queue outside the center.
Hubby thinks that the tuition center is abit elitist..cos most of the students there are from top schools

Yr boy is in CHS right? I have seen their SA2 2008 Maths paper...very challenging. And I am surprised to see similar questions in my gal's maths paper this year. Though I have gone thru some of the questions with my gal, she cannot understand.
Eg Amy is thining of a 2-digits number. The digit in the tens place is 2 less than 4. The digit in the ones place is 5 more than the digit in the tens place, What is the two-digit number? (1m)
I have heard that CHS does not follow exactly MOE Maths syllabus..they have their own unique ways of teaching Maths, maybe that explains why their Maths paper are tougher than the other sch.
