Mindstretcher - Discussion

[chittersachatter]

Any mummies can feedback their Science class for P3? I called to enquire and it wasnt satisfactory. I asked for topic sequencing to make sure that its on par and they cant answer very well. N the customer service wasnt very happy when i asked about it.

Mindstretcher is a tuition isnt it? Im surprised that parents are sending their kids for tuition when they are only p1 or p2. Isnt it too stressful? My parents never sent me to tuition cause they felt that if you really want to study, you can study independently and score even better than those that goes for tuition. Besides, tuition fees are so expensive nowadays, and you have teachers in school who can help me. (I always asked my teachers qns im not sure) assessment books and sch teachers are all you need to get 250+ in psle

your english grammar and sentence structure is real bad... is that because you didn't have tuition?

If you are feeling \"stressed\" because of a 1.5 or 2 hours enrichment (moreover enrichment centres now are like edutainment-style) ... you're in for a tough time in the real world.

Well, every family has its own way of learning and adapting. For my family, I'd say my siblings and myself are fortunate to be independent since young; if we wanted to improve in our studies we will seek for help from our teachers and they are always glad to go the extra mile for us. And these traits of being independent and resourceful have served us very well even till now.
I have friends who do all the preparation, signing up of classes, etc for their children, all their children have to do is wait to be \"served\". Sometimes I wonder, when will their children learn to be independent? Do my friends have to prepare everything for their children all the way till they serve the Army?
Just my two cents worth.

There is no standard topic sequencing for science across all primary schools. A topic may be taught in term 1 by school A but term 2 in school B. However, MS will cover all topics for the level before SA2.

Hope this helps.

Try Just Edcation Science.

If a current school teacher sends the child to JE for Science, I believe JE Science must have standard.

Another friend's son in P6 last year changed from MS to JE for Science and he loved it.

But there is another group who will still like MS Science.

Personally, I find MS worksheets are not well photocopied. Horrible photocopying .....

personally i think that Just Education doesn’t lose at all in any aspects to MS… somemore the fees are more reasonable… I just don’t really understand why MS enrolment is so much stronger… is it most parents think more ex = better without actually thinking of "value received"??

[nicnac]

I think it is because MS is everywhere. the awareness is higher. The locations are very accessible.

Whereas, Just education has fewer branches and in more remote locations. They also do less advertising.

to add on, not much parents discussion in Just Education -Discussion thread too.


DD is doing Science at MS since last year. MS notes content by far is good and comprehensive. DD science teacher is a retired teacher, very responsible, approachable and can explain the concepts across to the class well. DD science marks improved from high band 3 from P3 to high band 2 in P4. Now she is in P5.

I also enrolled her for English in Feb15 with MS achiever class. Realised the standard is beyond my DD, the whole class failed the mock test except for one student who scored the highest at 50 mark. Stopped attending since and swopped her over to Just Ed. Standard more reasonable. Just attended her 2nd lesson with Just Ed, DD is happier and more confident.
