Aiyoh..P1? Let go a bit lah. But you can let him do as a form of disclipine to gear up for upper primary. Maybe half an hour a day at fixed time for your \"homework\" on top of his school work since i doubt the school will give him much to do. Once he get used to it, he will not protest violently as he goes up the level!

Thank you for your advise. Now the sch is also eyeing on those who score well for P1 & P2. They will segregate them in P3. More stress!!!!
Top 3 classes will be given more attention and will nuture them, correct?
The rest will be just studying as per normal going to sch and etc? I am actually very stress that he will not be able to make it to the top 3 classes. Everyone in the sch is so smart.

Thank you

westmom:

Yes- I think it is worth doing school test papers as they are set by school teachers or school HOD themselves and they are very much in tuned with the \"wind\" of MOE.

Thank you very much. Now that he is practicing with the test paper from popular and some schools lat year test paper. Beside he is only P1, am I expecting too much from him?
Thanks and appreciated

Enjoy your long wkend

Ahhhhhhhhhh what is it all about :whut:

I guess, it is how she wants us to know her love for her child. But I doubt how can the kid read? Still bed wetting can read and access to internet?

Sometimes people just want to write out how they feel.

Angelmom:

I've just registered my son in Monfort Junior and when I told friends and relatives about my decision, all of them were disappointed and disapproved. The school seems alright to me but I wonder why so many people so bias against it?

Hi Angelmom,

Dont have to worry too much. Like what other parents said, this sch in the past did very well and the standard is very good. Now that the standard had dropped and no longer the same as before especially the secondary level.

Yours is in P1 next year, do not worry too much. Newbies in the school will still behave and well descipline. But do remind your son to maintain and not influence by peers. If you really worry, try changing him to others. But all newbies in the school there will be good and playful ones. There will never be bad ones. My son is in one of the top school, for the 1st 3mths/ 1st term of the school. The kids were still very playful as they need time to adjust and adapt to long hours \"freedom\" with out parents. So, as time pass. They will be more settled after the new term starts.

Hi Parents,


I live very near to Monfort School. The lower primary boys are better and well behave. As for the upper primary classes, some are very playful and misbehave. Those who taking the bus 147 and 74 will bound to meet the playful bunch of boys.

Again I will not say that the school is no good but it is not strict like before.
As for the secondary, oh!! my god. Cant imagine.

I will say that students from nearby pri sch, like punggol, they are well behave and much discipline.

Visit the premises and you all will know. Try going to the bus stop during sch dismissal and you will understand for yourself.

No bias. Just truth.

erm..i'm not sure how old is your kid, but have you tried the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=285&start=0 papers?

Yes, tried some on line. He is P1. Only test paper will excite him to do. Revision book is really too easy. I went to the extend letting him do the P2, no issue as well. except for the fraction part. Now he is learning the basic fraction.

How? I even try setting questions for him to do. but where can I get more test paper and back to the main point, is it good for him and will benefit him?

Thanks

Hello everyone out there,


I am wondering is the past years test papers important for our kids to try out and practice?

I had bought for my son few revision books for each subjects. He had done most of the topics and to him it was very easy.

Then I went to Popular and saw some test papers and bought some back. All the test papers were set by the publisher.

Now, I need advise as well as it is worth buying test papers (of local pri sch), some stated are from top school. Will practicing test papers from other primary school will benefit him during school actual exam?

Thanks and appreciated.
