Progressing well Academically

Lil Shauna sets a very high benchmark when it comes to academic work.  Not only that, we also realised a long time ago that Zaky paled in comparison. We ended up subconsciously setting a high standard for Lil Shauna and gave more leeway to Zaky.

I always have the impression that Zaky isn't that academically inclined. Recently, I realised that I could be wrong. He was taught multiplication in his maths enrichment class and is progressing to division. This is an amazing feat for a 7 YO. Lil Shauna struggled for a long time when she 1st started.

We recently started reading the bible to do the kids' Sunday school homework. I was again pleasantly surprised at how well Zaky can now read. Lil Shauna is definitely better at 7 but Zaky isn't too bad for his age too.

The SAs are coming. I never have to worry about the kids' revision except for Chinese bcos I have jiat kang tang kids. Recently, I have started going through the 生字 with the kids and was surprised that Zaky did his revision so much easily than jiejie. Mentioning which, I almost vomited blood when helping jiejie with her chinese compo just now.

Zaky is definitely progressing well academically. Then again, he just brought home his Chinese listening comprehension mock test. He has 6 out of 10. I looked at his paper and was reminded how Lil Shauna always come back with full marks for listening comprehension. It is so hard not to compare. Zaky is having his graded chinese listening comprehension test this Wednesday. I reminded him to listen carefully. He said that he always do, just that he cannot remember. Zzzzz. Win already.
