Re: 小朋友06年9月讀德望小一家長, 請進來傾

eggeggma,
I read some topics before and know that your daughter should be in P.2 now. Do you think it's really hard to study in GH? I'm afraid that my girl cannot cope with it herself. I'm a working mum and arrive home at almost 20:00. Some say that there are many homework here but can learn a lot from it. Do you think so?
Yes, eggegg is about to finish P.2 and get promoted to P.3.
Hard or not: depends on your definition and your ability and adaptability. 2 lovely points regarding GH (1). you have many chances to make up a setback (2). you can get promoted anyway if you can get 100 for all subjects all the time and/or keep at 70 for all at all, i.e., a matter of choice.
My experience:
By comparison, P.2 is relatively eaier and relaxing, partly because I have got used to it, partly the teachers have more time to help, e.g., weekly maths quiz and Chinese and English quizes before exams and tests (= you can do less), and workload looks slighter than P.1, e.g., P.2 English worksheets are fewer than P.1, no worksheets for GS (= I can revise less).
homework: looks quite very much (remember GH is still a traditional and aggressive school). 2-3 pieces for each suibject and so add up many each time, yet do notice that some are corrections and some are asking you to sign the notices. So not many are left over.
As a new P.1 from an activity approach kg, eggegg took 2-3 hours to finish all during the first month. But now she is trained to finish them within 1.5 hours and sometimes less.
So for long-term interest, your first task is to train your girl to finish them within 1.5 hours. As i know some still need 2 or more to finish even at P.2.
By comparison, i find P.1 is much heavier than P.2 as the policy is that P.1 is devoted to standardize all students of different backgrounds and standards before P.1's end and promoted to P.2 (e.g, English textbooks cover P.1 and P.2). And P.2 just concentrates on P.2 stuff (e.g., english covers P.3 one form only) and so looks less workload.
Yes, those homework aim at learning and revision, except vocab. writing which only requires you to copy 3-5 times for each vocab. for each chapter.
Be honest, the same question on whether homework is just merely copying has been raised to me recently. I wonder if there is a rumour outside.
well, I am rather care-free and do follow exactly what Sister Leung advises: don't underestimate your girl and let your girl to explore her own way, e.g., I do not check her homework and school bag. After several times of being warned (簽手冊 regaring 欠帶 homework and books) and doing self-invited OPTIONAL correction homework, eggegg has learned to be more careful and responsible. In fact, GH is a good place to learn and train independence, responsibility and honesty. I am sure you would find your girl different and grown up by the end of the term.
More, you are not the only working mom and so there must be ways to solve. For myself, I had one part-ttime during eggegg P.1 but several part-time during P.2 (= one full-time) and so the time spent with eggegg in P.2 was much less than P.1. Yet eggegg's performance is better than last year. So it it the Quality of revision that counts, not quantity.
More, I finally realize that the design of the school schedule is helpful. At P.1, I found the test period was annoying (4 subjects in 2 weeks) which kept me, as a full-time mom, stressful. But this year, I have found this arrangment is wise, as i can concentrate on 1 subject each time: Sat-Mon for the Tue test on English, Tue and Wed for maths test on Thurs (actually not much to revise for maths as there aree weekly quiz). A break on Thurs and Fri, then Sat to Mon for Tue Chinese test and Tue to Thurs for Fri GS test, something like that. Besides, the weekly dictations may seem heavy at first glance but they really help in the long-term, which saves you sometime on spelling.
At P.1, because I had too much time, I always found that it was very boring and stressful to handle 4 subjects at one time 10 days before the test period.
Maybe let's see how others respond and advise.
Another tip: make sure and train your girl to be attentive during class and when doing homework, which eases you a lot of effort and saves much time when revising for tests and exams.
And give your girl a bit responsibility to help you, e.g., I use a rather traditional method to revise dictation--copying the text. At first, it took eggegg some time to adjust to this boring method, but now she can do it on her own without my asking when preparing dictations. (Given one Chinese dictation and one english dictation every week, I really need to find a way to save my time and energy for something more important  )
a few final words: P.1 is a year of exploration and adjustment. If you can find the right way and survive, you can go on quitely easily. Do open up yourself and 大胆嘗試. Don't spoil your girl.
good luck  |
