Do you send kids for tuition on weekday or weekend??

[jesschan]

I prefer weekday classes too because weekends can be reserved for family activities, sports etc… But if the kid is too tired after a long day at school, he may not be able to concentrate in the extra class.

I'm currently looking for a tuition centre for my ds who will be in P2 AM session next yr, as i have check with a few centre, most of the weekends are taken up... I am wondering if its better to send them for tuition during weekdays afternoon?? Any pro and cons to share?? TIA

normally students taking major exams such as PSLE and O levels prefer weekend classes due to supplementay and remedial classes after school. Weekdays seem to be preferred for non-major exam students.

Weekday classes for me. My kids’ Chinese tuition is on Fri. I make it a point to keep their weekends free.

Gosh, I feel totally worn out just reading your dd's schedule. :!:

I prefer weekdays for tuition/enrichment. Weekends are rest days for me - no cooking, no housework, just nada. I feel that it should be the same for dd. Need time to rest and recuperate. However it is not always possible. Hence, she has music followed by Chinese Enrichment (close proximity) on Sat mornings and Chinese tuition on Mon late-noon.

I think Saturday is too packed. By the time reach Chinese Compo & Music lesson, the brain is too tired to absorb. The physical body is just there for the sake of being there.

On school days it's good to limit to 1 enrichment per day. On non-school days, I limit to 2 enrichments, with minimum of 2-3 hour spacing in between.

Stretching them is good, but too much can kill a child.

My sentiments exactly!! My P3 dd only has Chinese creative writing and violin. But she has swimming training 3 times a week. Do they really need to have tuition for every subject? I feel even one tuition every weekday is too much.

My P5 going on to P6 ds will be having 3 enrichment classes on weekdays and 2 on Saturdays.

Goodness, too tiring, isn't it? Not just that, the time, the money ... my kids will be protesting with such a schedule. Does your child really require tuition for all subjects?

I feel the same way too!! for myself, i only make sure my son gets tuition for his weak subj, that is English. I was so surprise with your schedule!! too pack to me... I can imagine how draggy will i be if my mum were to send me for so many activities when i was young. But i guess, children now and last time really very different.

Last time all no need tuition still can \"survive\" till O level, now hor, under the stress of everyone, no tuition seems so impossible!!
