[PSLE MT] PSLE less weightage in Chinese / Mother Tongue

the cultural revolution wiped out the morals, like what we see these days, anything is ok - just make sure you are not caught !

Yes. This is indeed very sad. All traditions and religions were destroyed during cultural revolution as people were forced to believe in Mao as the only God. So many books and temples were burnt. Although temples and churches are being rebuilt, no one knows how long it'll take to rebuild all those traditional values.

That's why it's true that overseas Chinese tend to preserve the Chinese culture better.

Yes, language should start from young and learning is a long process. Its not a matter of seeing results in 1 to 2 years, it can be 5 years or more. Parents who are not good in Chinese, you can learn it together with your children. Pick up their pre-school books, ask them to \"teach\" and share with you. Kids at this age, simply love to \"teach\" us. Write with them, read with them and learn with them. Its actually very fun.

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.

I have a hunch that the eventual outcome will be L1R2 for PSLE. Pro argument is that it's similar to O Levels. And it's sort of compromise for both sides.
