Ashley’s school reopens tomorrow. It was closed since last Wednesday for Chinese New Year. Her teacher told me that she won’t give the class any homework during the Chinese New Year holiday but when they return, they have to work extra hard to catch up. Don’t really know what she meant by that but I have a feeling there will be more homework? Ashley is already getting 3 to 4 books of homework a day now. Each book has 2 pages of work. Besides daily homework, she has spelling, ejaan and ting xie (Chinese spelling) tests every week.

Do you think this is tough for a 6 year old? Primary 1 is much tougher? I know I’ll be losing more hair when the time comes.
*pengsan-ed*… SOS !
I would rate the level of difficulty moderate.. a way to build up their vocabulary to enable them to structure sentences later. Looking on the brighter side, it’s good to prepare Ashley for chinese primary school now than having to struggle when the real race begins.:)
More than 10 words of each test is very tough though they are some repeat words!!
I guess this is sufficient to prepare Ashley for primary 1 in Chinese, but it is only enough for the 1st semester.
Avery also has spelling test in all languages, almost every week and I face difficulties teaching her Chinese words *sweats* I’m more tension than her…..
walaueh!!! spelling test? errr…My Ashley does not know how to spell! 🙁
really difficult loh!! so manyyyy words omg !!! too early lah for a 6-yrs old kid… my my *slap forehead*
Ashley’s kindy is well-known for tons of homework. But don’t worry, kids these days are more resilient 🙂
*wipe cold sweat*
That is quite a lot homework. Now my boys also increase their homework from thrice a week to daily now. 🙁
Chinese ting xie look hard to me. 🙁
OMG! I see the spelling schedules oso stress!!! Pretty soon will be my turn losing more hair!! =_=”
woah! the school schedule looks hectic!
before Ashley or u pengsan, I pengsan first!
Hmm, I think its quite tough for her… But dont worry la, I think your girl will be fine, gambateh Ashley!
those BM ejaan quite difficult ler…
I was about to post on FB bout Aidan’s ting xie too. He came back 2 weeks ago with a long list 🙁 Btw, does Ashley have ting xie last year ?
er.
er.
er.
I don’t know what to say. That’s too much .. too much for me!!!!
That is really really good. I would rate all as moderate. How I wish Shenny’s teacher will do the same too. I think she is way too relax in her kindy.
I think it’s better to start from young. Ashley should have no problem when she goes to Std 1 next year. Chloe’s kindy is just the opposite… very relax one… homework-free and spelling-free. I think I will go bonkers when she goes to Std 1!
OMG! So tough. I’m planning to send Gwen to a Chinese medium school. I’m worried now coz Gwen doesn’t know a word of chinese. 🙁
Oh God, the Chinese one, alamakkk *pengsan
Really kesian this generation’s kids. 🙁
