Leonard 2009 Review/Feedback

Academic
1) He is now in the best class in his school.

ECA
i) He is in scouts and golf, which keeps him active and busy. although that puts demands on this time.

Comment
i) The above was done without any tuition except for english & chinese.
ii) He still did ok for his science, maths

Overall
i) Shows that he can do well if he wants to .

Biggest problem
I) His attitude towards study.
2) Look at this blog which shows it .
i) Do the minimal, shortest review article
ii) Study. Tough maths question. He protest even as i force him to know how to
do instead of being thankful.
iii) Blog - not conscientiously done.

3) If he can change his attitude, he will do well , and he will also have more time to play and probably find studying less tedious.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A) He can do without tuition so long as he is conscientious.
After each chapter :
i) Do mindmap / Do exercises
ii) Dare to ask questions, what he doesnt know.

B) Mindmap
i) Can be done whilst teacher is teaching in class.
ii) Will make it easy for him to revise and at end of chapter, can use it to answer assessment questions.

This will be the most effective for learning his study subjects ie science.

C) When i teach him, all i did was :
i) Let him do assessment to find out what he doesnt know (isnt that a waste of time if he can tell me instead, or refer me to questions he cant answer in class ?)

ii) Teach him and make sure he knows. depend on subject, in some cases, ask him to do mindmap, whilst for others , got him to do assessment books.

D) He needs to think about it. Use his knowledge learn in Adam Khoo's class to improve.
