GEP - General Syllabus Discussion

GiftedGem:

J4F and YY1205,
Thanks ! Last year, the Sci tr was a retiree in her 60s and took up 1yr teaching and all 3 classes were taught by her. DD was one of those almost failed the Performance Task . Certainly, it was a struggle for the girls and parents freaked out as well. This yr, DD is blessed with this young,vibrant tr who has motivated them for greater heights.

Gifted Gem, my DD is in the same primary sch but P4. This year, the retiree teacher is no longer teaching the P4s, thank goodness! Performance task, many kids recieved full marks or close to full marks. Science overall, more than a few are over 90. I totally agree calibre of teachers make a world of difference. Last year, my DD also had a retiree teacher for p3 and the teacher's commitment was unsatisfactory!

Only 2 kids scored low 80s in dd's class. The rest below 80.
Didn't hear about anyone getting above 90 in the entire cohort.
So it could be teacher's fault :scratchhead: :yikes:

Yrs & GG's DD must hv diff teachers so it does appear the tr really makes a difference !

Anyone sign up for the maths olympiad enrichment class conducted by NUS ? DS could not make it cos of our overseas plan, so wonder is he going to miss out a great program?

Hi Just4Fun, Never heard about this enrichment class, is it organized by GEP branch or NUS? How long is this program?

I hv to dig out the notice... it was given out by the school. If I can remember correctly, this is a few days' course.. conducted by NUS lecturers. I believe this course is open to all P5 & P6, not only Geppers.
