Anglican High School

DD told me, because she got B3 for O Level Chinese, the HOD for Chinese do not want her and other classmates in same situation to take Higher Chinese??!! They must drop the subject by tomorrow?


Hod threatened to give DD and classmates very hard life if they insist on doing Higher Chinese??!!

I know the school did terribly for the Higher Chinese last year. But must our kids of this year bear the consequences?

I'm trying to find out more from fellow parents, whether such a threat was really made. I'm so angry !! :mad:

This is so weird. DS1 also got B3 for Normal Chinese but school did not ask him to drop. Instead, principal advised them to try and he got B3 for Higher Chinese. I am surprised AHS has different point of view. DS2 is having PSLE this year and I am considering AHS… I have to re-consider now.

To drop higher chinese at O level means to give up the 2 bonus points . This is too costly.

Suggest you speak to HOD your concern personally to ensure no misunderstanding.

Hi,


My DS also got B3 for his normal Chinese. HOD said if dun want to drop then must work harder.
Now I need to find a tuition centre for him in the East. Any good recommendation, pls PM me? Thanks

My DS also got B3 in o level Chinese. His teacher asked him to drop Higher Chinese. I am very angry. As a Chinese teacher, how can she want him to drop higher Chinese rather than help him to improve Chinese?!

The school definitely has your child in mind. Look at it from this perspective, Your DS is sec 4 and has tons of subjects to study for. Higher Chinese isn’t the easiest subject out there and requires lots of time and practice, which might potentially affect his/her other subjects. So instead of clinging on to the 2 pathetic bonus points, why not cut your losses and drop higher chinese so you have more time to study and improve your other subjects to get A1. Furthermore, this year’s higher chinese has a new syllabus, so its very risky. Imagine clinging on to higher chinese and then failing it in the end, you would just end up with a pathetic b3 for chinese. Why not make sure you can score A1 for your other subjects instead of fighting for the 2 bonus points?

We have to think long run for our DS DD. I encourage DD to hang on for Higher Chinese, to aim minimum C6 I’m happy. A C6 means two bonus points. A D7 means no more Chinese in JC. This D7 is a strong motivator already.


Somemore, the way the teachers talk, I can see through them. They just want easier work and teach less students.
