Coming 1st test of the year.

I do silently wish that the school NEVER give any notice on the impending tests so that the kids can be assessed on their learning and coping right there and then. After all, this is the true meaning of assessment, no?

Revision shouldn't even take place a day before tests, as the kids should have been absorbing and digesting the information and knowledge they gain from school every day. Why do they need to revise for?

I'm complaining because I feel this is a punishment to ME instead! I can't relax on the weekend before their test that's going to begin tomorrow and I feel awful guilty taking them out almost ALL day yesterday and even letting them watch movies with us at night, at home! *horror*

Well, I reasoned with myself I ought not feel guilty even slightly, since it's only *ONLY* the first test of the year and I would be able to judge where they are and how much work we need to do to propel to the front line at the end of the year. That would be an even prouder moment for us all as we see their vast improvement later of the year. Yeah, there are, let me count, around 7 more months to catch up on the final exam of the year. Ample time to study laa...

for my son's school, usually i don't know how to prepare them for exam (except Maths)...

this is because ah, they have no fix topic & the topic is too wide, cover writing, hearing, comprehension, oral...

so it really test their zhang-kung-fu one.
