English Homework

Were coaching GK with the English homework, and found that they were not able to do their Comprehension. They do not have patience and confidence to read the whole passage and the 'difficult' words.

I must agreed that Dad has his good ways of teaching them, that he really made them read and repeat the whole passage umpteen times and have to read until it was so fluent that not a single mistake was made during the reading. This method was stressful for GK, and K burst into tears...

But with the pressure from Dad, K knew that he was not getting his way by crying so he continued to read and read and memorise the words, and he did! I could see the confidence that he showed when he was able to read the passage fluently....

Thanks Dad, for sparing the rod! You have done a good job!

We knew that this route would not be easy as we cannot give up on our children and let them slacken. You knew how you suffered in the education system when you were so 'bo chap' when you were young. And only when you stepped into the working society, you realised that paper qualification plays an important role in your life....

We don't want our kids to be like us... We should give them the best and help them to survive through their education journey....

As discussed, I went to the nearby bookshop to get an assessment book on Comprehension just now during lunch time. We should let GK have more practices, and build up their confidence in dealing with long passages....

Let's 齐心合力, 加油!
