Is it right for teachers to ask parents to enroll their kids for extra tuition?

We were told to do so by my child’s chinese language teacher when we attended the sports day a few months back. This came as a shock to us, cos not too long ago some minister stressed that there is no need to sent our children for tuition. How conflicting is this!

Had a conversation with my child today and was utterly disappointed to know that the Chinese language teacher had handed back their class worksheet with all the practice pages not done. The teacher mentioned that only the top 2 classes of their standard (classes 2.1/ 2.2) needed to do them. I seriously don’t understand the logic behind this. Does weaker classes / students have to be forsaken so the school can concentrate on the better/smarter ones. What happened to the level playing field policy that the gov have been driving at?

There were also occasions where the whole class just need to copy the answers from the white board and some lessons were mere watching of animated movies like Mulan and etc. How can we expect our children to do well (and I mean not excel) in their CL when the teacher does not even show some effort herself?

Disappointed parent.

Nowadays it is with more parents effort than teachers teaching, I guess.

Parents efforts in finding extra classes, sending children to it, coaching them in it.......

Next year is a whole new year, your child will get a new teacher, hopefully it’s for the best??

Also, don’t give up, "Jia You" and your child will benefit from your efforts.

Cheers

I agree with cfan. The education system is no longer the same as our times. Tan53, it is sad that the school does not pay more attention to weaker students, which I learnt from my daughter. Her friends were not in the first 2 chinese classes has less homework. Pls email the admin department regarding the chinese teacher and also question them why the chinese language department place more focus on the first 2 classes. Feedback to the school is necessary if you want the school to improve. Without feedback from the parents, the school do not know what are the problems that the students are facing.


I have emailed to the school admin last year when my daughter had a new chinese teacher who place no importance on the chinese moral education as they were left to do their own things and not teaching them the subject. I was glad that they looked into it, as they do want to improve the school. So feel free to feedback to the school. It is better than not doing anything.

Take the December holidays to help your child catch up on his/her work so that when the new year starts, it won't be overwhelming for them.
