Hi Chasingjelly,


Before you rush out to the nearest enrichment lessons, I think you need to do some evaluation on your child first. I've to give credit to the school that they really teach the kids rather than encouraging parents to send their kids to external classes so teachers have a \"easier job\". If the kids have some weakness, teachers will conduct tuition for the child. Eg. my P2 attended chinese compo class that was conducted by his chinese teacher. We are hoping that the teacher continues this term.

But there are some basic things that you need to ensure before P1 :
1) the ability to read/ recognise words. The child should be able to spell.
2) HYPY

I am a enrichment craze mum but that's also because I felt that I do not have so much time to teach them personally and I am a strong believer if kids does well, they will gain self esteem and confidence,etc... so I let the experts do it. I also observed that there is a mix of parents. Some more kiasu than others :lol: Eg. my son's class IMO is rather competitive. With his results that I thot is not bad only came in 15/30. But my girl during P1 had 2 points lower than him managed to come in 6/30..... This is really interesting as it shows that her class is probably less competitive.
