The Alternative Story (TAS) - Discussion

[glendt]

I think it is one book in 2 weeks. After your child finishes, the teacher will ask your child questions to make sure he reads the book. For older kids in upper pri, I think it is 1 book in 3 weeks. You may be able to ask the teacher for extension if your son cannot finish the book. Do you have your referral yet? I cannot give anymore as we can give one referral per term and I have given mine already but I can ask around.

Now my kids are older, I have stripped down their classes to the bare necessities. They have so much school work as it is. But TAS classes are a must for them. Although I am a teacher, I cannot teach my own kids, I will go crazy and pull out my hair. So I am thankful they enjoy TAS classes and are learning.


But I really hope to stop all classes for them once they are in secondary school. I think by then they should be independent learners, hopefully. Any parents here have 'suffered' once you stop tuition for your kids in secondary school?

Mummies, I have been following this thread with interest..can I know where is TAS?
