It's crazy.... Seriously... the way our textbooks and even learning for the children are soooo boring. No fun just facts and more facts. Very rigid! Children simply don't enjoy what they are learning... Kids these days learn for the sake of passing exams!Just compare to any books from overseas and you will see what I mean! Hai... so sad. <strong>I totally agree with you. It is sad.</strong> Gosh… It’s crazy…. Seriously… the way our textbooks and even learning for the children are soooo boring.

Unfortunately I don’t have the time to teach her myself. Just helping her with her daily homework and revision takes up all our time. We can forget about computer or rather we have to forget about computer or any other exra-curricular activities.

The person who wrote the book sure doesn't know his audience. You can't assume every kid is as techno savvy. Hope the teacher is helpful! <strong>You are right in that the writers do not know the audience..... but... it is the 6th edition mind you!</strong> Gosh…poor kid!

She never asked, we never revised and it is not tested until mid term exam. I don't know what they are taught in class, but she seems to enjoy computer class a lot, always looking forward for the day of the week where she has comp class. her classworks also don't seems as much as your girl. Still very relax (though I complained about the increased of homework) compared to your girl <strong>As long as she is happy, there is no need to go through with her...

As long as she is happy, there is no need to go through with her… I only go through with her because she had many questions to ask me and … I couldn’t answer her with the book!

We as parents have to help explain. But we oni do it when there's computer exam...otherwise, close one eye... I oso find that their computer book too technical and dry and boring...seems like they are squeezing too much facts into a book for a young kid. i think they should learn computer in a fun way. more "pratical" rather than theories. like get them to type a paragraph, make cards, etc.. <strong>Annie, I also close one eye and for computer test, I will just go through with her the night before the test. Hehe. However in this case, she was unhappy because she kept on being scolded so I had to try to explain. Actually, they do a lot of practical too like typing paragraphs and making cards. At least my girl liked the typing part. She finds it challenging to learn. They are at the moment learning how to make a card using MS Publisher and she can't follow the steps or instructions given which are imo presented in the format more like for an adult learner. :(</strong> Same here too.
