Identify Parents' Common Problems ->Solve it Together


Are you having the same problems most parents are facing? Speak to any parent you know and you’ll find out the most common problems that are plaguing them besides parenting issues is none other than their child’s education. On one hand parents are working hard to save for their child’s education fees and on the other hand they have to ensure that their child excel academically. The strive for academic excellence starts from as young as when the child is in primary one and some even from pre-school level.

Here I’m going to list down 4 common problems that most parents are facing and the solutions to it.

well done appraise your childProblem # 1 : Not able to APPRAISE child’s academic progress

Most parents are unable to have a good grasp of what their child learn at school. This is tough because the current syllabus is totally different from what the parents have studied in yesteryears.

Solution # 1 :

Use a system which incorporates a revision module that allows students do short regular exercises and provides instant Output Learning to assess a student’s level of understanding of a particular topic taught in school. Students can select a particular topic taught in class that day and instantly find out if they have understood what they have learnt and review their understanding of that topic. Parents will be able to monitor their children’s academic progress and help them identify their children’s strength and weaknesses so that timely measures can be taken to correct any shortcomings.

Busy at Work

Problem # 2 : Too BUSY to monitor or supervise child’s revision or homework

It is becoming increasingly difficult for working parents especially to constantly monitor their children’s revision or homework. Many parents resort to sending their children to day care / tuition centre for a helping hand. The downside is that these day care / tuition centre are lacking of a systematic reporting system.


Solution # 2 :

Supervise Child's HomeworkParents need a monitoring chart that allows them to keep track of their children’s performances. The system has to come with an effective monitoring tool that is designed to keep parents informed of their children’s work schedule, ensuring parents that their children exercises are done and completed accordingly. Parents would be updated on the number of attempts their children has done on each topic, thus specifically highlighting the “difficult topics” faced by their children. This information will help parents identify specific topics in a subject that their children have difficulties in, instead of generalising and categorising weaknesses by subjects.

Late Report Card

Problem # 3 : You only know your child’s result when they bring home report card > TOO LATE

Most parents can only tell their children to work hard in the next term if the exam results for the current term are unsatisfactory. Many are unable to have a preview of their children’s strong and weak subjects before exam.

Will it be better if you would identify their weakness earlier than waiting to the mid year to receive their report cards? Then only you take action to seek for solutions for your child?

Solution # 3 :

Use a system to give you unprecedented 1st hand knowledge of your children’s strong and weak subjects. It records and displays your children’s average scores for each subject for that month. You can also check on previous months’ results to compare the difference.

Only a proven system can give you a review your children’s performances & identify weakness so that timely measures can be taken to correct whatever deficiency before the actual exam takes place.

Problem # 4 : Not satisfied with exam results - NOT GOOD Enough!

Let’s face it. The percentage of excellent students are only 10% or less which means out of 100 students only 8 to 10 that can really produce excellent results in exams. A review on the strategies adopted by these excellent students has shown that  2 to 3 months before actual exam, they have intensively attempted at least 7-10 years of past years exam paper.

Solution # 4 :

Use a system that allows students sitting for national examinations to practice on actual past years’ examination papers. Each exam paper is set exactly the same as the actual examination paper format and students have the options to select questions either by “year” or by “random” and have to complete all exercises within the time allocated. This allows students countless examination practices thus helps and condition students to be exam ready and Score A’s in the real examinations.
