For our Family: Louisa's School Performance

I just came back from Teacher-Parent consultation at Louisa's school. It is conducted twice a year. I was eager to find out from her class teacher if she has any problems with her behaviour (my attempt to pry things from her). To my relief, there was none. I asked if there had been any incidents in class which she may be concerned about. Again, nothing of that sort. So I went on to tell her what happened 2 days ago but didn't go into much details. She was rather taken aback but reassured me that had she known what had happened, she'd have handled the situation there and then. Since I will be seeing the head teacher tomorrow, I told her I will leave it to her discretion to tell her the name of the pupil.

Other than that, everything else about her performance are positive and I can't be more pleased. The teacher has no concerns or worries whatsoever. In her words, she said Louisa's working comfortably in the top group of her class and even though it's early days, in years to come her SATS results will be one of the tops. I thought that's a little far fetching but being her mum, of course I'm very proud to hear that. I wanted to find out if she excels in any particular area so that we can perhaps nurture that potential of hers. But her teacher said she's an all-rounder and I'm not sure if it's a good thing though. I'd have wished she'd had said Louisa's excellent with her drawing or that she's fantastic with her sentence structure and composition. At least then we know in which area we can push her a little for her to reach her full potential. But I guess it's still early and she's only 5.

Yes, pa and ma, I'll work harder with teaching them Chinese. I'm now having problem with their diction. Gotta let them listen to more Chinese stories. I can't wait for my neighbours to move in which I think will be very soon. I'll ask her daughter to speak Mandarin to my girls. No English allowed. Haha!
