Nzy Twincharged July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 got 1 time her teacher gave her homework in which the syllabus has not even been covered yet....and i thought my daughter was not paying attention in class.....gave her a tongue lashing as she couldnt do most of the problem sums. Then my wife dropped the bombshell......the teacher have not taught our daughter on this particular syllabus......i was like wtf.....!!!! Maybe the class liked to do that. I rmb when I was in sec school. My classmates always had this challenge among ourselves to see who can figure out how to finish all the workbooks in the shortest possible time. By the end of term 1, most of us finished all our workbooks already. Lol. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porker Turbocharged July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 (edited) Suicide is for the weak-minded... Generally true. However this girl might have an underlying psychiatric condition which went unnoticed. I came to this conclusion because her dad had it. Edited July 28, 2015 by Porker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrocarbon Turbocharged July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 Sad tragic, can see there are many such mum around Seems like I hear more stories about Tiger moms than Tiger dads (is there even this term?). Somehow, girls like to compare with each other more than guys. Most of the times, guys compare is car or watch, and then, more in envious terms than jealous terms. Sad case though, RIP to the mother and daughter. Hope the father turns out well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neost 6th Gear July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 Generally true. However this girl might have an underlying psychiatric condition which went unnoticed. I came to this conclusion because her dad had it. In my opinion, the girl was doing very well in school. 6A & 2B in "O" level. Should be able to go to any tertiary institutions of her choice. I don't understand what her mum wants her to achieve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolicense Turbocharged July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 To get into medicine is not abt grades... alot of perfect score candidates were not granted into the course... the medical board interview takes precedence... above average grade can get in liao... as long as they find u suitable to practice medicine... says much about the selection process when so many doctors are not really caring for patients The most innocent parties are the daughter, father and grandmother. Who is the root cause of all this? The mother. the mother is easy to blame. but if she knows nothing else about how the world actually works, then she is stuck in a bubble, in her own world. many people in asia like that..

Nolicense Turbocharged July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 A big reminder to myself. I have been pushing my son and drilling him in math and english for his psle.. I think I have to apply a little brake. Thanks TS, the article do need to be standalone. pressure is fine. but just remember to be supportive. cannot say if fail means end of the world. we all need to be pushed sometimes and discipline is good for kids. but if academics is not his thing, its very hard for the child.

Ender Hypersonic July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 possible. primary school math? you just look through her text book refresh abit you can teach liao.. problem is we know too many equation that we forget the most simplest form of calculation can solve the problem. I have to go thru a relearning process to learn all those P5 and P6 Math syllabus so I don' confuse my son with the methods we learnt from the old syllabus. Now can be offer assistance to the kiasuparent forum too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what her mum wants her to achieve. The psyche of the girl most likely was formed over the years where she was conditioned by her mother that nothing less than all A's will do. It is good to be very tough on oneself. It makes people improve. Having a driver is even better because you lose sight of the goal at times. But the balance between striving to be perfect and being unnecessarily hard on oneself to the extend of self torture is quite difficult to achieve.

Othello Supersonic July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 no straight As she lose face, can't get in RJC. reminds me of a RJC platoon mate during BMT. We all booked out to get our A Levels results. Many in my platoon, including myself is the never-study type. All get lousy results except for a few from RJ and VJ. I still remember his name - Stanley. Well he was damn crestfallen when he found out he only have 3 As 1 B. We were like 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadX Moderator July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 This is so heart wrenching...and a very sad one... In the pursuit of academic excellence, some sacrifices may not be worth it As parents, its natural that parents always want the best for their child To give up this mentality and let nature takes it course is really not easy in our competitive environment Hope i can be a good parent next time and don't fall into the same trap as others Thank you TS for sharing exactly..and here ppl worry abt COE...wtf! Priorities man! RIP ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
