ITS SUMMER VACATION TIME IN PINAS

February 27, 2006

I am looking forward actually to the start of summer vacation in the Philippines. Why, kamo? Because my sisters are all planning a trip overseas. Malu and her daughter Bernice are going to HK and Me Ann and her brood of 4 boys are visiting us here in Singapore. My two kids are already very excited kasi they will be seeing their cousins here. Incidentally, it also coincides with the School break in Singapore (March 11-19). Tapos na ang 1st Continual Assessment nila this Friday March 3.

In Singapore the child is graded or assessed based on 4 exams only /yr. (walang quiz quiz at recitation dito)There are two Continual Assessment Tests which accounts for roughly 30% of the grades and another 30% for one Semestral Test in June before the 1 month June Holiday. The last Semestral Test in November eh mabigat since it is a hefty 40% of total grades kaya if u pass all these tests pasado ka na pero kung hindi sorry na lang. Passing Mark is 50% of 4 subjects (you get the average of 4 subjects namely ENglish,Math, Science and lo and behold Chinese).Eh bobo ang 2 anak ko sa Chinese so they really have to do well with the 3 other subjects. Sana pasado naman sila kung hindi ang PARUSA-matutulog sila sa laundry room(Walang kumot at walang unan)
