This is one of the programs we encourage our students to keep reading. After students submit their homework scores to our system, we will add the same points to the points system for the students. Our leaderboard is generated based on this score. At the end of each month, we will reward students based on their points.

Yes. Even if you don't have time to take an online course for various reasons, you can still earn points and participate in rankings by submitting assignments. However, we encourage you to actively participate in online courses.

Group discussion

1. Are group members fixed?

The group members is generally fixed, but we will make some temporary adjustments according to the situation, so please open the Online class information before class to confirm the group members on the day.

2. What are fixed and temporary groups?

If you have our courses on your schedule and keep attending our online courses regularly (with only occasional absences), then you can choose fixed groups. If you can't get our courses on your schedule and often need to give the way to other actions, then you can choose temporary groups.

3. I see that I am the "group leader", what do I need to do?

Like other students, the group leader first maintains his/her attendance, and then arranges the order of speeches in the group discussion session and organizes the other three students to discuss together. If others don't speak, you should take the initiative to speak up to encourage other students to speak.

4. What is the group discussion about?

Before entering the discussion, the teacher will give you a topic for discussion. Usually, the teacher told you this topic as homework in the last week. If you are ready, you can directly give a speech or guide everyone to discuss together. If you are not ready, you can also read a text you like.

5. I feel that my ability is not up to the group leader, or I want to be the group leader, what should I do?

We encourage capable students to become group leaders, encouraging students and exercising themselves at the same time. If you no longer want to be a group leader or you were not but want to be a group leader now, please email us: info@chparents.com

6. What are the principles for the assignment of groups and group leaders?

First: Students of the same grade will be assigned to a group. However, in some cases temporary groups are mixed grades.

Second: the group leaders are arranged in turn according to their own students' own applications.

Group number and student number

Example: Group number A1E03 Student number: A10E00088

Team number: A1E03

The first digit: replaced by four letters "A B C D", corresponding to different age groups A: G3-G5; B: G6-G8; C: G9-G12; D: K-G2

Second place: Consists of "1, 2, 3, 4, 5", representing "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday" respectively

The third digit: consists of letters A-M. represents the grade. (A=Grade1, B=Grade2, C=Grade3...L=Grade12, M=Kindergarten)

The last two digits: represent the group serial number.

For example, the above group number A1E03 means that this is the 5th grade group in the Monday course of the G3-G5 group.

Student number: A1E03

The first digit: replaced by four letters "A B C D", corresponding to different age groups A: G3-G5; B: G6-G8; C: G9-G12; D: K-G2

Second place: Consists of "1, 2, 3, 4, 5", representing "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday" respectively

The third place: composed of 0 and 1, 0 means unwilling to be the group leader, 1 means willing to be the group leader.

Fourth digit: composed of letters A-M. represents the grade. (A=Grade1, B=Grade2, C=Grade3...L=Grade12, M=Kindergarten)

Last 5 digits: student serial number.

The group number of each student may be changed frequently, but the student number will never change, even if the student changes classes later, it will not change.
