Schoolwork For A 6 Year Old

Last week, hubs went to Ashley’s school to get her homework since she did not go to school for 3 days.  In the stack of 13 books, there were 2 workbooks (one in English and one in Bahasa Malaysia) which I have never seen before.  I think these 2 workbooks are for the children to do in school.  When I flipped over to the page which Ashley is supposed to do, I was surprised to see this…

Do you think this is tough for a kindergarten kid?  I don’t think I know what is the meaning of low on fuel when I was 6. I’m not sure what current teaching training involves, but maybe school authorities need to re-visit their online elementary education degrees to see what curriculum is age appropriate.

Asia? Visit Malaysia Year?  You gotta be kidding me.  I explained to Ashley what it was about and where to fill in the correct words.  She doesn’t understand at all 🙁 I wonder who came out with these exercises for the kindergarten.   Is Primary 1 tougher than this?  What is your opinion?

    It’s tough, and my girl’s homework also quite similar like Ashley – got Petronas Tower, KL Tower, Proton Saga to fill in the blank. I foresee many hair pulling session from Primary One onwards, next year. Heard that it’s tougher 🙁

    Ashley’s school is known to give out tough homework. I think I’ll enrol Bryan for full time golf or tennis lessons!!!

    Depends on the kids–I’m pretty sure I didn’t know how to read at that age.

    Really, sounds tough for a 6 yo. Sigh, not easy huh these days…. =_=

    Chloe’s kindy is extremely laid back in their homework. Ashley’s homework now are to prepare them for Primary 1, I guess as I’ve bought several Primary 1 workbooks for Chloe from Popular which have similar format.

    Barb, the school work for Ashley is quite similar to primary 1 standard. I guess the school is preparing the 6 years old group for the Primary 1 lesson.

  12. Mummy Gwen says:

  18. MK mummy says:

    too difficult for a 6 yr old…

  19. Adrine says:

    I can’t believe this is kindy standard!

  20. ChloeMummy says:

    This is like UPSR exam questions! Very advanced indeed @-@

  21. Joyce says:

    My other kids hasnt done books like that (BM) when they were 6 yrs old in kindie… and when they went to Std 1, it was tough for them. So its good that her school is preparing her now, so when she goes next yr, it would be very easy for her.

  22. ipohgal says:

    This is just too much for a six years old, seven years old even! When I was seven, I don’t even know ABC or 123!

  23. this is crazy.. ‘cue’ at 6 years old ? sigh….. I sincerely hope Std 1 will be a lot easier .

  24. Kit says:

    This is unbelievable esp the BM homework! The English one is quite advanced but I think that’s good if we’re serious about raising the levels of English. I hope the MOE knows what it’s doing with the KSSR curriculum…
