Heard from my DS & even his classmate from the upper sec. Their chemistry teacher didn't really teach them.

Most of the time asking them to revise by themselves, whereas both of their bio & phy teacher have put in much effort in teaching them.
Moreover he is the HOD in Science :slapshead:

Is it a one-off case? My DS is currently in Sec 3. He has been very blessed with very good Science teachers throughout the years so far in SJI.

Maybe the HOD going to retire or simply adopt the easy method where since these kids come in with high PSLE T Score,HOD could switch off.

Hi titank or any parent with child in SJI IP,


Heard from a friend that the SJI teachers in the IP programme do teach more as compared to the teachers at RI? Is this true?

Hahaha...I always thought that the least the teacher could do is to conduct lecture-tutorial method of teaching...similar to Uni style.

I think you should check with the teacher instead of spreading rumours here. Not good for others reputation.

[justMommy]

This sounds a little unfair towards the teacher as maybe it’s an opinion of one child.


If the claim is true, there must be some complaints towards the teacher and the school is taking steps to address the issue?
