Well I said I had to feedback to the teacher about the exam paper not in line with the syllabus taught in class. I had to see more than 1 teacher because Tim has different teacher for different subjects.

I met the English teacher, she was a nice lady. She told me that she took over the class only 3 weeks ago. She did prep the class what to expect in the exams. Obviously my boy was in lala land and didn’t tell me. I believed her. In the English paper, Tim wrote this for making sentence:

She didn’t give him any marks at first. My opinion should be given some marks although she was looking for

I believe both are equally correct grammatically. Finally she did give him marks for that. Let me know if I am wrong…

Next was the Maths teacher, she approached me. She told me the teacher who set the Math paper was from another school. The new teacher had a different expectation. I told her the exam was to test whether the student learn things taught in the classroom. Maybe the school expects us to send our children to tuition. Then again, if we do that what is the school for?

I have yet to meet with the BM teacher. Oh by the way, the BM teacher is also the new teacher who sets the Math’s question. This is one of the questions for BM paper for Std 2:

Generally I heard most of the students didn’t do well for this term. I also heard that apparently one girl scored all hundred. Guess what? She is the daughter of one of the class teacher. Next is, one class was prep by the teacher and did an exercise on one of the BM question. The rest of the other classes were left out. The news I got from kepoh-ing with some of the parents.

Tim’s exam is over and results are out. He didn’t do well in BM and Maths. I kind of expected it because he didn’t do much revision and the exam papers are tough. He did well in paper 1 in BM but not paper 2.

Paper 2 is writing story in BM (aka karangan). If I knew karangan was in the exam, I should have prep him more. From his homework, I didn’t see any work on karangan. I am surprised it appeared in the exam paper. He has no problem in making sentences in BM. In section 2, he didn’t understand the question. He was given a choice to write a story with a title or write a story with words given or write a story with picture given. He just has no clue and left the section with 1 sentence. I wonder did the teacher explain to the class what they were supposed to do. I must check with other parents.

Next is Math, I found the paper a little difficult for Std 2 first term and the teacher didn’t teach some of the math problem in the class. Looks like the paper is ahead of their syllabus thought in class.

Example of a tough question, more like a riddle than a Math question:

Aini has 6 books. Mary has 8 books more than Aini but 7 books less than Susan. How many books does Susan have?

Guess for me, I need to prep Tim more for next revision. No stick and oranges this time around.

My gal loves to sleep in the tent which is why I bought her a nice tent from US. She sleeps in it very often. She even put it on her bed and squeezed to sleep in it. She has long legs, obviously you will see her legs sticking out the door of the tent. I got this tent from amazon.com and it is really pretty. It is easy to keep, all you have to do is fold it back.

Of coz, when I am away on business trip, papa will set up a tent in the living hall for both to camp indoor. They love it very much.

And every time we traveled back to KL in the car, I put a blanket in between 2 seats. It looks like a tent to her and she will happily sleep under it. It will help to keep the hot sun shining on her face. Of coz she has a seat belt on, she takes the middle belt. Safety comes first. Nice to see her sleep peacefully.
