Was told that sometimes \"stand in\" teachers dont even get the kids to do anything in class.

Do you think we should raise the issue? Or who can we approach?

thanks.

Actually if it bothers you too much, maybe you can try to talk to the P1 level manager first about this issue.

In our case, I understand that some of the parents from my child's class spoke to the level manager, principal etc.... It's good if you know some parents from your kid's class. Most were upset because this is the 1st year where they learn science and already P3 so cannot play play. Worst when the class is behind other classes and there are streaming,etc...

understand your concern..we will prob wait and see if the frequency persist further before approaching the level mgr.


thanks

The answers must show exactly those key words according to their standard answer sheet. If any deviations but with same meaning are also not acceptable.

:shock: :!: Yes, it is very difficult for the child to come up with things that are exactly the same. Personally, if they can understand the passage and answer in the same context that is not bad.

Don't get me started on this CL marking. The HOD really wants to find bones in eggs! My kid was marked wrong when she wrote the correct yin (eg. ao) in the middle of the blank. She wants the yin to be near to the given letter (eg. l).

:lol: That also includes handwriting that is not clear,etc.... Well... end of the day, it teaches them to becareful and neat in their work. We are lucky that this is some assessment and not PSLE.

My dd is the line leader(ie..the one who always stand infront when the class move from one place to another).. Today she very happily told me that Mrs Lim, the principal, pat or touch her shoulder, after bowing and greeting her and the vice principal while the class pupils were walking towards their next destination...emmm so loving... :love:

:lol: I also saw her talking to those graduates who came back to visit during CNY celebration. Those kids are in Mansjusri. So she appeared to be a approachable principal. But different parents have different expectations so it's hard to please everyone

No doubts abt it that she has done very well in bringing out the motto of the school. Of course, some parents will expect more because it is afterall a sap school.

Yah.... personally I do hear differing views from other parents. Eg. after 2009 PSLE results put in by MBS,etc... There are always remarks that standard has dropped or principal is not aggressive enough in promoting the MBS overall standard,etc... So yes it's really difficult to please everybody.


Personally, I think they did a good job in defining who they are and their motto 2 years back. Eg. a premier SAP school..... I didn't hear that during my girl's P1 orientation. This gives me a impression of yes, they are finally taking stock of what their key assets are and I do hope they build the school further based on that.

But for us, our wish is that the kids enjoy learning, enjoy school and eventually manage to do well enough to go to a good secondary school. That would make us very happy.

But I am very sure that these batch of pupils under this P's system will enjoy and love school more. They will bring along with them fond memories of primary school life. I have witness this with those single sex mission schools. Very relax system but the kids are happy as the school load is manageable.

vlim,

My dd has been doing enopi for 1yr+ but she still makes careless mistakes.
