A more meaningful thing to do, really is to set up a \"It is not too late to learn MT/CL\" foundation, to take care of people like 3Boys. Like he said, no stick. Use carrot.

I will volunteer my service. Anyone ? We can start a facebook page.

Hi Nan.Nan

what kind of service? perhaps i might offer some hands?

Singapore always kiasu (hey, that is why we are in this forum). People have this standard. We must surpass that. Say in London there is a wheel by the river, we must build a slightly bigger one by the bay. People have casino, we must have two. People's airport is so-so, ours must have awards year after year.

:rotflmao:

Good observation!

I thought MOE has issued a statement? It seems pretty conclusive that there will be no lowering of MT for PSLE :?

they this time did not use the \"offending\" word - weightage. They only said MT is still very important, the cornerstone of education policy, its importance will not be reduced....to me, it still has not addressed the issue of the 25% weightage. status quo or cut ? may be they will still cut but assure you that it is still important.... see the difference ? wait for the press conference

Very political if that is the case... Playing with words.
