Long time never come in here..
勿忘培华的孩子是特选的。

& great irony to see the above..
I never forgot Pei hwa 是特选学校..。
似乎是学校或新任校长本身忘得一干二净
With the new direction from MOE,only P4&p6 has mid year exam..
I was shocked to discover that with less exam papers to set & mark(much lesser work load..)
Yet the p4s will not have oral exam & listening compre for mid year(not sure abt p6..)..
My job allowed me to be able to check on a few schools,& i am saddened to find out that those i checked all have oral & listening for p4s..& they are neighbourhood schools..
& 1 of them still have mid yr exams for p3-6!
Am disappointed & worried..
Complacency usually lead to downfall..& with many good teachers esp upp pri, transferred out..Sigh! &
even if parents want to do our part to help our kids,1 major grouse i have is that the exam compos are not given back after exams,& marks are not revealed either..we are clueless on whether tuitions are helping the kid in their compos,& do not know how to help a child..it's left to our \"guess\" but no way to \"check\"..(so maths method of \"guess & check\" can't be applied
)
Oral & listening compre marks not revealed also..the feedback forms are seriously useless for us to gauge the kids weaknesses in these 3 components..the school can take a backseat,but should let parents & tutors have a look esp on the compo to see how else we can help a child(& i am talking abt the weaker ones..)
(NB: the number of compos written for class work also reduced compare to my gal's time..& yet teachers can say we can refer to compos done in class to gauge a child's standard..& as if she does not know that work done for homework,usually vastly different from what is done in exam)
I can only comfort myself that i am glad that I did not waste my time to PV to let kids enter Pei hwa(hubby was an old boy so it was our natural choice..), if not, i would be more :stupid: :stompfeet: :slapshead:
Sorry for the ranting..& appreciate no flaming from any die-hard supporters..
Thanks!! -

Dear Skymincrafter,
PM u thru KSP & also emailed u but no reply…maybe u did not receive coz of technical glitch…?
Anyways, just want to say, I am aware that there are other schools who do not give back exam compos,
BUT i also have a list of schools who give back, including my elder girl’s school,
which i appreciate a lot, as i am able to see certain OBVIOUS weaknesses in her exam compos both chinese & english(though i am not so meticulous until i scrutinise to things like grammar mistakes etc), eg. i can see that she is very long-winded and the development of the story is not good/smooth/logical etc…
& the compos done in tuition or school may not show up such flaws etc…
She took a few exams to correct this flaw in her compos…& i was glad when i saw the gradual improvement…
Come on…how many times we heard of kids quite well-prepared for exams eg maths, but still did below expectations?
normal work done can be perfect, but during exam, with the pressure & time-constraint, a child may not be able to handle as well as normal days…
& the crux is, why some schools give back & some do not?? I think this is not fair… Those who do not give back, are depriving their students learning opportunities over the years…esp nowadays,for this year, for our class,within half a year,only 1 composition is done for school work!!
Those who do not go for tuitions, their parents only have 1 miserable composition to gauge how are their kids handling…esp the new syllabus for composition…
& whenever i ask for a valid reason, none of the teachers can give me a satisfactory reason, most just brush me off & say other schools also don’t give back…but i retorted & told them the list of schools which give back, they just reply "oh! is it? we don’t lor…it has been like that…" Worst,there was 1 teacher who mentioned that part of the reason is coz some parents will go back to teachers & argue for more marks!!so for the sake of avoiding handling such parents which are the minority,u choose to sacrifice the learning oppotunities of the majority innocent kids?
my point is, being educators, they do not question a practice which does not benefit the students’ learning at all!! & cannot give me ONE GOOD valid reason for not giving back(I am not asking for 10 valid reasons…just ONE…)
As an educator, I am really appalled…& disappointed…
I think our education system is a flop…kids been taught to accept without questioning…questioning is not encouraged…
SAD…coz i can see such no-questioning-allowed practices in other areas (macro)as well…with this breeding culture of YES-men, how to bring s’pore to greater heights…
no wonder Monica has to do what she had done, to wake the relevant authorities up!!!??? sigh! -
