Good Morning Chin Eng!
Thanks for your advice. I did let him dream thru P1, he is in P2
this yr.
When he was in P1, he 'dreamt' so much, the teacher was on his back
Cos he always kept away his homework and some
never to be found, he always needed to meddle with things when
teachers were teaching, (he still does, i wrote to the P2 teacher
to let him be) etc etc His
classmates told us he was always badly scolded by the teacher. Poor
him ne.....how to gain confident like that??
Once, he was punished consecutively (made him stand etc), i had to
write to tell her the worksheet was LOST, LOST means cannot be
found liao.....would she be continuing to punish till him can
'magic' one for her??? Yo, ended up my boy was further 'punished'
for my mistakes ( i mistaken he stood on the chair while infact he
was only standing on the floor which i was no bothered about). i
apologised and she still go target him, get the whole class to be
her witness of wat she did and wat his mummy said.....
I learnt the hard way (at his expense, i felt bad) that i can't do
the same for him (make him be responsible for his own stuff) like
his sister.
He is definitely a bright and creative boy. He is more of a
divergent thinker unlike his sister a convergent thinker.....most
education systems and school environment are not condusive for
divergent thinker..
anyway thru hard and soft approach ( i had read up some books to
learn some soft skills, the hard approach is my natural reaction
), he has shown great improvements this year,
thanks to his P2 teacher's patience (no more scolding liao) and the
student care's teacher's patience and understanding.... 
i try my best not to kill his creativity and
divergent thinking......
I will tell my girl wat you mentioned here. Thanks! 
Its a GREAT CHALLENGE to be 'good' parents....esp in such era of
heavy study load..........
