  Speaker 3: I know, So that is the responsible parenting thing to do.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I remember interviewing somebody in my podcast and she said,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: you know, you want to make the home environment a
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: place where everybody's writing an inverted comments so that the
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: child can focus. Right in our house, you can't use
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the dining room table for like the six weeks because
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: they have all this stuff all over and if you
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: move anything, it's like where is my You're like, oh sure,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: but what if they need it? So you don't want
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: to add pressure. So it is kind of like a
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: walking on eggshell situation. I mean, my husband invested in
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Bluetooth wireless headphones so.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: That you guys can so he can watch he can
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: watch TV.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: While they're studying at the dining room table. It doesn't
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: it doesn't interfere. Oh I love this, This is what
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I'm looking for.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: What are the you know, small or big a major
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: shifts that happened in your household as soon as you
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: enter into exam time. Exam territory. Are they timetables that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: are printed and they put on every door so everybody
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in the house can know that tomorrow we are writing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Matt's exactly, Cindy, what I loved.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You were saying.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Ulessia has got a mirror? Was she telling us? Yeah?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: So interestingly, I go into a room the other day.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: She's got quite a quite a big mirror, and on
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: it is just writing, and I'm like, what's happening here?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: She's like no. In my head as I'm remembering stuff
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I writed with a whiteboard marker and then I wipe
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: it out and I start again, and I'm like, Okay,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I hope that information is right because it was Afrikaans.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: So I hope the information mirrors right.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: But in general, we do have a timetable and I
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: sit down on with them and we set it together,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and Miss angler on TikTok has a very good way
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: of setting out a timetable for parents that are looking
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: for it. It's it's an interesting time. You have to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: remind yourself you're not right.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I need a timetable because I felt a little judged
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: because I was talking about exams, and you know, I
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: like your writing exams. And Rihella said to me, oh,

• 8:48
  Speaker 4: It didn't get If you don't do it, then you
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: end up on the street. Oh one one eight thirty
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: eight nine four seven.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: What are your studying terms for us, shared with us,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: give us that we do this and it's full proof
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and it works.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: My child is the dux scholar.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: This is what we're looking for, said as a voice
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: called zero eight four double zero.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Double zero nine four.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Seven No z And how are you?
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: I'm good?
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: How are you good? Thank you? All right? So what
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: are the rules? Who's studying? What? What grade? What grade
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: are you doing?
• 9:23
  Speaker 11: We're doing grade ten now and yeah, nothing changes during
• 9:28
  Speaker 11: exam time because we strike a deal beginning of the year. Oh,
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: you give me seventy percent on all the subjects and
• 9:38
  Speaker 11: if you don't give me that, I take your phone
• 9:41
  Speaker 11: away for a week per subject.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: That's confound interest, that's subjects.
• 9:50
  Speaker 10: Yes, she's doing six I think six or seven.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: So how many years? How many years has it been
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: since she's been had her phone?
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: No, she's you're very well because she likes her phone,
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: you know so. And the thing is, I change it
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: up in the second term past subject it's two weeks.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: And then in the thirteen three weeks and then final
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: T four weeks.
• 10:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, of course, so she knows in December she has
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: to give me straight a's because then she's without her
• 10:22
  Speaker 11: phone for the whole holidays.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a that's a rough incentive.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: But is it working? Is working?
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it is working because my earlder who's now a teacher,
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: we did that and she knew that she had to
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: give me at least sixty five percent on all of
• 10:41
  Speaker 11: her subjects, and she did very well in that trick.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: So do you sorry to interrupt? Do you not find
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: that this has actually added unnecessary pressure to them to perform?
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Because what if they come up against maybe an exam,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: something they don't understand, or they're.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Having a bad time to ask and I'm.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Saying and they're having a bad mentally, or something's going
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: on and maybe the mark slips a little bit. Now
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: they've got this added pressure of I won't be able
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: to connect with my friends because you've taken the phone
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: away for so long.
• 11:10
  Speaker 11: Yes, of course it does give pleasure, but then that's
• 11:14
  Speaker 11: also motivation because you know very well good and you
• 11:18
  Speaker 11: love your phone and you need to communicate with their friends.
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: So then give me what I need and I'll give
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: you what you need. And also in the house, we've
• 11:26
  Speaker 11: got this rule that we talk about everything. So if
• 11:29
  Speaker 11: you are going through something, let me know. I can
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: arrange for the school psychologists to talk to you if
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: you need that, because I don't know what you're going through,
• 11:39
  Speaker 11: but you can't then wait until you've failed to tell
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: me that fact. I was going through this fact, this
• 11:46
  Speaker 11: what's happening. You have to tell me beforehand. You can
• 11:49
  Speaker 11: now wait and then say, oh, Mama, Pats, I was
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: going through this accually you had time to tell me,
• 11:54
  Speaker 11: and then you can. Then you know the negotiating stages,
• 12:00
  Speaker 11: the beginning of it, when we.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Agree on the Nazi is making diamonds in that house
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: with the pressure Lifeli Nazzi.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Do your kids call you mom or matron.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: Getting my brother through exams on high school was so
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: hard that by the time I got there, my parents
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: just left me to my own devices. They trusted me
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: to make my own timetable study what I needed to do.
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: What I needed to.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Old exam pipers.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: You guys, it really really works. Look for old exam
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: pipers and lots and lots of snacks.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I found.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: The study had to work for me to write your notes.
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: In different colors, pains that the pin that you write
• 12:38
  Speaker 11: to day to day school.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: We tried to keep our household as normal as possible
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I just feel that to put the kids under so
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: much stress and pressure is really not worth it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: It's honestly not worth it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I do up the snack cupboard contents. Let me tell you,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: bakers picks up a spike from our area, because I
• 13:01

• 13:04
  Speaker 4: To chew on.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: They're going through the way.
• 13:06

  Speaker 2: Advarsity, just for the nostalgias at all, you're making pub and.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: You get triggered.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I mean in an asia, I talk to us hi.
• 16:18
  Speaker 12: Good morning and Ellen team, how are you guys doing?
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: We are so great, Amana. Are you a first time caller?
• 16:24
  Speaker 12: Well, I have been on ninety four point seven a
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: few months ago.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: But have you been with us?
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: No?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: There, I mean you said, I've got some some tips
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: for parents whose kids are writing exams there for us.
• 16:39
  Speaker 12: So my name is Amina and I am speaking nepacity.
• 16:42
  Speaker 12: As a teacher, I share the sentiments of parents before
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: speaking about pree preparation with regard to exposing your children
• 16:52
  Speaker 12: to past papers. That helps quite a bit. But having
• 16:56
  Speaker 12: said that, I would like to offer some advice for
• 16:58
  Speaker 12: parents to remind their kids the day before or on
• 17:02
  Speaker 12: the morning of the exam use your time. Effectively, children
• 17:07
  Speaker 12: are allowed ten minutes of reading time before the exam.
• 17:11
  Speaker 12: Use that time. Children just peruse through the paper. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 12: as a teacher, when you tell them read read, they
• 17:18
  Speaker 12: say yes, they're done. So it's important that they read
• 17:20
  Speaker 12: the instructions on the exam paper and that will give
• 17:24
  Speaker 12: them a bit of an indication of how to actually
• 17:26
  Speaker 12: answer the paper. Look at mark allocation as well. That's
• 17:30
  Speaker 12: very important for the child to see if it's two marks,
• 17:33
  Speaker 12: I need to write down two pointers and never rush
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: through the exam paper. If the duration for the exam
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: is a sixty minute mark time duration, please use the
• 17:46
  Speaker 12: time effectively. Kids finish the exam paper within sichty minutes
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: and then they sit and fumble for the rest of
• 17:52
  Speaker 12: the time. So it's important that they manage their time
• 17:55
  Speaker 12: effectively and so that they will obviously gain better results
• 18:00
  Speaker 12: for their exept.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Okay, thank you.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: So you said you are allowed ten minutes to.
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: Read the exam before the exam. Yes, before the time
• 18:09
  Speaker 12: sex is.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: That like a legal thing, like a load ametric.
• 18:14
  Speaker 12: Exam, You're allowed ten minutes reading time, So they should
• 18:17
  Speaker 12: use that time to read through the instructions, read the question,
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: what is the question asking?
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: And so forth.
• 18:24
  Speaker 12: Another thing I know it before I go. I would
• 18:26
  Speaker 12: just want to say that before preparation. During preparation, children
• 18:31
  Speaker 12: must learn, study and write down. Like I've heard some
• 18:35
  Speaker 12: parents saying that they make notes. So that's a very
• 18:38
  Speaker 12: good thing because children see how much they have retained
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: after they've memorized whatever they've studied. And speaking about mathematics
• 18:48
  Speaker 12: in particular, mats is spend to paper. The kids must
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: utilize their time write down the question, practice, practice, practice,
• 18:56
  Speaker 12: but the use pen and.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Paper repetition and thank you so much. And you have
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: such a calming voice that I'm ready for exams.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: This ten minutes when you're reading your paper, that was.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: That was.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: It was those ten minutes when I always realized how
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: much of the paper I'm not able to do. You know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you're like, okay, I got it. Question one, yes, So
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: question two, oh god, question three.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: So your your plan is just don't give me the
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: ten minutes. Just let me go in. It's back to
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: making your morning and La and the Club on nine
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: four seven
