I feel that attending PTM is really not helpful coz unless my child has major issues, otherwise it’s a touch and go, less than 5 mins. It’s a total waste of time.
For supp class, I am baffled why the sch removes it esp since P6 materials must all be covered by mid year. There’s simply not enough regular curriculum time to complete the syllabus and supp class should help alleviate that -

Apologies for intruding... @FLD. Doing without sup classes would be better if it's on a case-by-case basis. P6 SC: demands of curriculum & time, both reasonably taxing; sup classes are good-to-have imo to spread out the workload/stress. Ours' scraped end-of-year MTP (since last) but supplementary classes for the usual levels remain.[/quote]Hi Sky,FantasyLandDreams:
[quote=\"Zappy\"]Eg. cancelling supp classes for p6's, no longer having end of yr meet-parents sessions except for selected students, ...
Hmmn...the above seems to be a trend this year? I think I read from the thread that pei Chun is doing the same too iirc...any idea if it is a MOE directive or Principal's discretion still?
My neighbourhood school have not scrapped MTP but have scrapped supp classes starting this year too, hence I am worried too. Personally I feel that HCL and Science supp classes are still necessary, otherwise not enough time, imho....but ...but...but ..I can only be Ah Q and console myself that supp class sometimes is a double-edge sword and are only good if teachers are efficient and effective and fill the gap myself now, no choice. :skeptical: :faint: :sad: -
Did the school explain why there’s no supp classes anymore?

Oh, they cut SC classes from 6 to 5 periods a week too.I feel that attending PTM is really not helpful coz unless my child has major issues, otherwise it’s a touch and go, less than 5 mins. It’s a total waste of time.

But that's supposedly an MOE directive, but who knows? -
It’s just worrying cos who wants to be in the first P6 batch with this new directive? Those that have tuition will just rely on tuition even more. Just hope for a good PSLE outcome.
Meet the parents is useful IMHO even if kid has no major issue. But still can make appointment with teacher if not called up to meet so not too bad.
I didn’t like the changes to the enrichment programs either. And CCA schedules. -

Nope. I had to ask T to find out more. Did away with supp classes but remedial classes remain.
June hols there will be 3 days of supp classes. T explained that they couldn't fit in supp classes on Mon/Tue now due to the new after school schedule. -

The year-end MTP is not on 1-1 basis but on a cohort level in the hall. In the past, the average marks of each subject would be shared, (what I was most interested in. Hehe!) so I could gauge my son's performance relative to his cohort. HODs would also briefly share the common mistakes/areas of weaknesses in SA2. In addition, the MTP was a nice wrap-up to the whole year whereby the level head would present a short slide-show of the fun activities the students participated.I feel that attending PTM is really not helpful coz unless my child has major issues, otherwise it’s a touch and go, less than 5 mins.

No. CCA days changed for upper primary too. Some clashes. I know of kids has to switch or drop 1 CCA. Can say adjustments take some getting used to.

I think there is no more ASEP for upper pri kids now - only for P1-3s.
Yep, the school is closed & locked up on weekends now, empty & quiet, no longer the busy place it used to be with the courtyard, field, courts & rooms all filled with students doing their marching/ sports/ activities.
