Qms,


Post facts. Don’t post what u hear.

QMS,

Do you have the statistics for this year's RMPS PSLE results? How confident are you with what you have said? What you said doesn seem to tally with what the P said about Science results... Dont mislead others if you dont have the facts.

Wong Hui Ning, Avril Radin Mas Primary School
She is No.6 in National Level. :rahrah:

Avril seems more of the exception than the norm.

Heard that the students performed better in English and Maths than last year, but the same can't be said for Science.

I beg to differ.
Education, to me at least, is not just about academic. Character building and social skills are also important. In life, EQ is more important.

I totally agree with you on that kids mirror their parents. As a teacher, I dont see pupils in class. I see their parents in class. They bring their parents' behaviour into the class - good, very good, polite, aggressive, rude, ill-behaved.


Got an encounter recently. There was an open house in my school. A parent left a USED tissue paper on the chair and walked out of the room. A second parent came. She brushed it to the FLOOR. There is a dustbin in the classroom. What can I say about these parents? When parents quarrel in front of their kids, their kids picked up the exact same language and behaviour and bring it into the class. Imagine, we do have 40 sets of behavioual patterns everyday. I hope all the parents out there be extra mindful of the behaviour they exhibit in front of their kids. Like it or not, the kids are their parents mirror

Personal opinion from a teacher. I am happy that parents are putting in alot of effort.
However, parents must also be realistic. Tecahing a young child adv concepts will only make him very bored in class. He will tend to pay less attention and not put in some much effort in his daily work.
A true test of the child's intelligence will only be evident when the child is in P5/P6. Getting full marks in P1 - P3 is truly no big deal...
A note to all parents, pls do not neglect character development. I am in my thirties with 2 kids myself. I must say most modern parents truly lack holistic parenting skills. Their offspring are equiped with little respect for others and environment. Do give your child some room to love life and others.
It is alright to shot me with neg remarks. That's a frank opinon of a teacher.
