We arrived like 40mins earlier for the appointment so that
we can rushed off for the skating lesson.
Met up with Mr Kok and Mdm Chionh.
So the first thing I asked was how was Jared’s academic? Any
drop as I observed his conduct was from Excellent to Very good.
Mr Kok mentioned he is still doing very well, and pretty
sure he is still in top 3…This year excellent conduct is given to more all
rounded kids (instead of top 3).
As Jared was more passive, so he can only get very good..its
3/6 only for his conduct.
Anyway, to us, its really difficult to change the his
introvert behavior as he really takes after both me and his daddy. So I cannot
ask for more.
Since I have this impression of excellent for top 3, when he
got back his report book on 31-May, I had been scolding him real badly for not
being top 3…though this is the case, he already got a helicopter as a reward
for working hard…and I already promised a skating gears and lesson…
When I found out from Mr Kok..all these became a reward he
deserved. Heh.
We also asked on Friends issue…I told Mr Kok, I’m aware that
he has more friends this yr, although not a lot…and Mr Kok. Shake his head
telling me that..actually he is still the same can’t be bother to make friends.
His current friend are those rejected by the rest of the class, and because
Jared is so nice that he won’t reject anyone that comes to him…So they take
refuge in him.
Again, Mr Kok say he expected this type of behavior for “genious”
kids..Not good in everything especially social skills. But he is definitely not
genious..it take a lot of hardwork on our part to make sure he can do his
papers well.
Sometimes he would also cry in class when he did not get
things right in group work, and refused to join the rest of activities.
As for Mdm Chionh…she said Jared is very quiet in
class..seldom talk..but he know what was going on. Only on 1 particular lesson
when they talked about Jordan, some stone city outside the classroom
thing..that he became suddenly interested and put up his hand very often in the
class.
For this we also aware, it seemed TLL syllabus is really
provoking and raising his interest, that he shared a lot during classes instead
of school work.
There will be no Chinese compo writing for the whole of
P2..and will only start in P3.
I got these feedback from Mrs Sabrina from TLL:
Amazingly well...hmmm..I doubt he's that good...
