wimdils, ya, agree, scary... I could barely figure out the P6 problems :faint:

p6 long way off, so i'll stick my head in the sand for a bit

ohdaddy, i cannot worry about P6 either, for now, let's get those weekly annoying problemsums.com questions off our backs! Every weekend, we are doing John has 3 oranges, Tom has 12 more than John blah blah blah :frustrated:

My girl keeps asking me why is it always about oranges? Is it because the teacher loves oranges so keeps setting such questions? :rotflmao:

zNz, you should really have a chat with the teacher and clarify the expectation? Did the teacher really say she expects all the kids to get full marks for every test? I can't believe that is possible, as teachers know that the standards in a class varies from weak to excellent... esp in P2 where there is streaming...


hoylj, there's such a teacher in P2? Oh my goodness... does she think she is teaching in the gifted programme where all the kids are super smart?

Oh yes, there is! Or I should say \"there was\". But again, it's realistic to know that being in the top 2 classes does not mean all the girls there are Gifted. So, glad to have that sorted out. My dd still turns ok fine - she's still in the H class.

I don’t think every teacher has a blog…heard 1 respect teacher blog everyday on what was taught in class and inform parents of test content. Not from

1 compassion teacher, had to email her to ask. Wish she starts a blog soon to keep parents if class progress…really cool.

My girl’s teacher updates homework there in lead but didn’t know they can have a blog? The parents in my dd’s class are updated via emails and SMS most of the time…

Thanks everyone for your comments and advices. Actually regarding these issue I have already talked with the teacher couple of times. And i have tried to make her understand my girl situation. But her comment is, she has already gave my girl enough time (3 months)!! For example during the every week spelling test my girl always get 8 or 9 out of 10. But unseen dictation she is little bit week ( 2 or 3 out of 5). It is never possible to get full marks in unseen dictation. Also in compo writing she didnt like the way my girl did, she just made a big cross on the answer.


During this age kids need lot of encouragement from parents and also from the teachers. I would like to know does other P2 teachers also have same type of attitude?

U guys are fortunate to receive emails and sms updates. None from DD’s class. But former teacher is quick to reply emails. However, not the same to be said of the Chinese lao shi.

zNz,if talking to the teacher is not working, I will call the Vice Principal or level head... don't let it drag too long, it will only demoralise your girl further... what kind of teacher is this? :rant: by the way, where was your girl studying before you came back to Singapore?


gorilla, Chinese teacher doesn't reply to emails? Or takes like a week to do so?
