Agreed Jennifer, the admin staff are professionals whereas the OGLs are apprentice, learning the trade in organisation. I think the OGLs did a good job,lets give them a big round of applause. perhaps the profs need to \"unlearn\" and \"relearn\", thats what the buzz word of the govt nowadays....
Yes
to the OGLs
Btw, you know how to have breakfast with the Principal ?
Thanks -

That's what the school said on day 1. And all the students know it's bc of the learning style profiling that they did earlier in the week. The OGLs also said that, leh. How come your girl's OGL say differently?
No lah, the learning style survey has no bearing on the allocation of class.
My girl told me the OGL said the selection is basically random. My guess is that they only make sure only 2 to 3 student from the same OG goto the same class. They also make sure the ratio of boys to girls are about the same in every class. And also try to make sure that all class has a mixture of different background, different race, different school (mixture of elite pri school & neighbourhood school). -

This is 1 of the example that I think NJC can be improved upon. The information flow is not synchrinised. The other confusion is the 3rd language class. Some said they are being excused and other said they ought to attend??
I fully agreed the OGL has a good training and learning in the process of organising the orientation program. I will certain encourage my son to get involve in the future. -

Got meh ? Who said one ? The Principal ?

Jialat, I must be zzzZZZ :snooze: again. :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:
I only remember the Principal saying that: \"... there are all walks of life of people coming into NJC and it is good for the students to experience people of different profile ...\" or something like that.

Juz asked my girl, she said that the OGL said that based on her OGL's time. Anyway, her OGL is already in SH2.
Hypothetically, if the girls want to be in the same class, they could pakat & fill up the same answers in the survery form & they will be in the same class.
Another hypothetical question. Since we know that there are much fewer boys than girls. So, if 25 boys have the same answers to the survey form, will they put all the 25 boys into one same class ? : -

My boy said there are about 50 qns. Very difficult to have all same ans, even identical twins differ in some ways.
Some qns are really funny: do you study better while on the bed/floor/table? do you study better with some noise? can you study better with some noise? do you like to study with some noise? do you prefer to study alone or one or two friends or a lot of friends? do you like to study with your parents/teachers? -
Jennifer:
Yeah but what I meant was, if the students know before hand that the survey is to determine the class they go to, then just sit next to each other & provide the same answer and you'll be in the same class !!VitoRelax:

Not a test wat, I tot it is just a survey form that is casually filled, right ? -

I believe the grouping of similar profile student impacts on the teaching style of the teachers. Imagine a case in which some children did what you thought is possible, one of them find himself unable to build a rapport with the teachers, then got to learn in a harder way, very tiring one leh. It's now study smart, not study hard to get good grades.Jennifer:
