Many thanks in advance!

My DS who is in Sec 1 does not study Literature as a subject. The school does EL as Language Art which incorporates drama, but no literature. Will he be well prepared for the new exam format?

Hi everyone,


Hope you and your ds/dd are coping well with Sec 1.
We are still trying to get used to the longer hours.
Wish everyone a very happy one week holiday in advance.

Bbee: Absolutely agree with you on this! It takes a lot of drive, commitment from the parents too. Its not easy on my brother and sil to handle a child who obviously outwit, outreason and outtalk both of them and highly sensitive. Actually I don't know where to start too but i will try to read up and hopefully dont ask silly questions myself. Haha.

Bbee:

2ppaamm's kids are lucky to have such a great mum who is so resourceful and determine to help her kids. Am sure it was a long, hard search/battle before she found her solutions. Most parents of such kids are clueless. I also understand that not all have the resources.

There are no silly questions, Littlefly. If we don't ask, we will never know.
Your nephew is fortunate to have a great aunt who goes out of her way to find help for him. There's always a reason behind why kids are behaving the way they do. I hope some leads will come in soon, in whatever form, whether it's from this Forum or anywhere else. :idea:

I really feel for the boy, I don’t understand what he is going through but am sure he is very frustrated and angry to behave the way he is.

Hopefully you will be able to get some leads or at least advice on where to start etc.

I really hope you get some leads soon on how to go about this. All the best and take care.

Any parents here also do home-schooling for your kids ?
How do you do it?
Any providers who specializes in IT yet offer a formal secondary education.

Hi Littlefly,

I have PMed you the contact of this lady who is homeschooling her teenage daughter. I believe the group of secondary school homeschoolers in Singapore is still active. Like 2ppaamm, some are also taking the credit accumulation path. Not long ago, someone wrote about using AP & SAT to gain admission into local universities. You can check with the lady for more information (such as social interaction, curriculum etc) on homeschooling secondary school kids.

All the best.

Bbee, just remind your son to participate in their competitions when given opportunity and take up leadership positions within if being selected. Some kids just 'miss or give up' things like that

Many thanks for your advice, Lynn2010.
Yes, we will go along that way. Hope he will get selected into the clubs that he likes. At the orientation, he was selected for choir. So we will consider this as well. Thanks again and happy lunar new year

Hi Bbee, if you do a google search on \"LEAPS system cca points\", there is an MGS pdf that did a comprehension explanation.


Just to share - My dd was in Club initially and i was so worried that i asked her to join 2 CCA another performing arts. Though she did, after some calculation, she would have got enough pts to score distinction if she did not join the performing arts. Now my dd2 in Sec 1 joins a Club.

My ds will be joining a Club too.
Ds' school allows only one cca and needs to attend the same cca twice a week. So, Uniform groups are out. Imagine marching and marching twice a week....kiri kanan kiri kanan...........unless you are passionate about it, otherwise ...... at least for me, I know I will get nightmares over it

Lynn2010:

Just to add, there should be enough opportunities for a student to obtain enough pts unless the student just did nothing and earn attendance points, skip every opportunity for competition and school representation.

Many thanks for your advice, Lynn2010.
Sure, will google Leaps to find out more about the points system.
