      I dont know who is the teacher concerned. But am surprised if he/she is that non-professional, the P or VP takes no action.

        onemore:



        not advocating change here, just a parent sharing an RVHS issue.

        Not sure if you are in academia or a staff of this school, but thanks for sharing your perspectives on the trend.

        Do you seriously think a student feedback system would work for this school? – have my doubts after these few years.

        Feedback from parents or students has to permeate through the deep culture and politics within the school system to be heard.

        Ms TEO MUI LI is well known to have a cozy relationship with the CL HOD; does not matter how bad or slack her teaching standard is - negative feedback would not shake her performance rating….or improve her work for that matter.

        fact is we parents are a pragmatic and passive lot, last thing we want is to antagonize the teacher or school; we are actually more worried about the undesirable attention drawn to our children then bringing up problems with the school.

        my ds used to say, everyone in class just pray hard that they don’t get Ms TEO MUI LI as their teacher for the next year…no choice mah..

        So, last resort is to pay for outside tuition for band-aid; an irony, this helps the bad teacher to stay bad – we are all guilty of aiding and perpetuating the badness – all resigned to the fact that the subject HOD/school would not be lifting a pinky to do anything to change Ms TEO MUI LI.

        Or wait!, perhaps the HOD did take actions - by strongly recommending her to teach in RI... :evil:
        I thought this kind of teachers are quite common in the Singapore educational system. I remember that I use to have bad teachers more often than good teachers throughout my school years. Not marking school work is your child experience. One of my chemistry teacher only did some scribbling on the board with bad explanations-no notes-don't follow text book. The geography teacher gave no notes while the other geography teacher of the other class had notes with rich contents that can be used for answering essay type question. And that geography teacher likes to play politics with the chinese teacher who was not happy with that geography teacher also etc....etc...Physics teacher just know how to deduct some points from your answer without explaning the reason. We all prayed not to get the same teacher in the second year. Sounds familiar?

                I am not sure if you all are superstitious. That particular road is jinxed and a few accidents have already happened along that road especially even at that traffic light. Please be very very careful while crossing that road.

                        Hi there,
                        I took dsa into rv in 2011 thru academics.
                        Basically 3 cats
                        Leadership
                        Sports
                        Academics

                        Abt 70-90 ppl in my year got thru dsa.

                        Which cca would be our schools niche area,
                        Is wushu and badminton.
                        But more ppl get into rv thru wushu, my Advice is that your son/daughter must have some prized achievements and such, or their primary school cca is wushu. So for that must plan early.

                        Not sure if they accept other types of cca cuz we focus more on those two.

                        OH YEAH RV OPEN HOUSE IS THIS SATURDAY!!!
                        PLEASE COME, OUR SCHOOL IS AMAZING!!!

                        Any other appeal enquiries or any other enquiries based on the s1 posting would be gladly entertained.

                        Peace out 😛
