you may not be aware, some SAP schools are doing exactly what you are suggesting.....except that there is no additional Chinese lessons for Math & Science
Hmm...now that this is being mentioned again...perhaps to truly be bilingual in MT, all core subjects in English and all non-core such as SS, CME, Healthed, Music etc....should be conducted in MT.... I suppose the challenge is finding the pool of teachers to meet this demand will be a big headache and importing will be required. :faint:
Just wondering.....anyone has PRCs teaching Chinese in their schools now? I know for school enrichment courses outside curriculum time they do use PRCs teachers because they outsource it.
yes there are PRC ex teachers now in some pri schools in SG -

So not all SAP schools practise the same thing? Can list the SAP schools doing that? Wonder why there is no standardisation since they belong to SAP schools?you may not be aware, some SAP schools are doing exactly what you are suggesting.....except that there is no additional Chinese lessons for Math & Science

My DS Chinese Teacher asked him to go, at first he is very happy but when he comes to know that he will be on National TV, he chicken out even when I scold him for being so chicken. :lol:
Sigh, I will go if I had a chance. -

though they are SAP, they are not run by the same committee for all SAP schools....some carry the chinese culture at higher profile, some has to be the standard bearer, some trying to cope along ..... -
On the point of Singaporean (including me who is born and grew up here) being no good with the Chinese Language, I have to fully agree.
The standard is really low even with current HCL standard in Primary School.
Unlike our parents time when they are the true blood Chinese School CL1 students, their Chinese Language command is good, even up till our time the CL1 has already drop quite a lot, now even worst.
This so call "Cream" in both Chinese Language and Culture, when they go China or Taiwan, they will know how bad their deficiency is.
You may differ with my opinion, but I will not change my stand. -

Perhaps what you said have some element of truth but I am still very baffled.... How come during our time it is called second language but now called HCL but standard lower? Yet many children are struggling with a lower standard? :? So the children are not smarter these days, they just shift their time to learn more of other subjects and less of Chinese? tio bo?On the point of Singaporean (including me who is born and grew up here) being no good with the Chinese Language, I have to fully agree.

HCL - i though it was something new or was it last time called CL1 -
I think CL now is lower than our time CL2.
HCL is much lower than our time CL1, maybe slightly higher than last time CL2 or maybe same same.
Even our time, those quite good in CL1 just have enough to communicate properly with China or Taiwan people.
Now HCL, shake head.
Our parents time CL1 is really something. -
Last time got Chinese stream schools and mata wore shorts... Now don't have. Now I recall why some of my siblings have good command of Chinese, from Chinese schools.....:)
