River Valley High School [*IP]

So far, I only hear that there are negative things about the new principal but when asked specifically what is it, we don't get anything......
But what I have here are concrete facts.
1. During his tenure at JJC, the cutoff point of JJ has improved and many students stayed after actual A level result release.
2. He made the teachers worked 5 days week only instead of 6 days. So I don't see how he can be a unreasonable slave driver. In fact it shows that he is quite caring not just students but teachers and staffs under him.
....there may be other things which you can read the report MOE has written after he took leadership at JJ.

justsay:
daisyt, my ds got slight improvement now in his compo after \"forcing\" hm to read up model essays. he got e techniques on how to write according to the title, no more primary school stylesdaisyt:
Stressy, justsay, did ur children check with e teacher if he/she would be conducting any remedial class for those weak in chinese? I know quite often the teachers would do so on his/her own will or when students make a request (for almost all e subjects). Usually each class has a rep for each subject. Now its time for e rep to do something. Compo - just need to get the techniques right on different type of questions. Ask the teachers, i am sure they can help. JMHO
Daisyt, there is remedial class for HMT but dd doesn't need to attend. I think there are more who get worse than her. Heard many of them scored A* for PSLE Chinese and scoring C5 or C6 now.
I have enrolled her for HMT enrichment class, hope can help.
Stressy, how about your ds ? How is he coping with HMT now ? -

I read abit about RV has infused every stage of the education the CID concept. It does sound very unique to me compare to all other schools. Afterall, the knowledge that we obtain during school time will only be a small portion of what we will require throughout our entire life. The attitude and skill of acquiring new knowledge and how to use them effectively, integrating new kmowledge together is higher order thinking skill which will benefit a person through his/her entire life.
Does anyone of you parents of RV sees strong difference in the way curriculum is being carried out? Does your child cultivate a better learning atiitude and the skill of higher order thinking?
