      The topic "time" is not taught, YET they are supposed to learn through e-learning via lead.com. So you mean P1 children so clever? They do not need to be taught, they can own self learn and sit for test!!! In future, all P1 children can stay at home and learn through e-learning, no need go school to learn. These GENIUS children all learnt through e-learnung and can go sit for school’s tests and exams, so no need to employ TEACHERS anymore … No wonder tuition centres are a BOOMING industry …


      My DD said there’s a maths test on next tuesday on topic "Time" but when I ask her whether Teacher had taught text book chapter 16 - Time page 84-90, she replied did not teach. There were also no maths workbook worksheets homework given for this one week school holiday.
      I would like to check if whether your child has been taught about this Topic - Time and the maths test on 14 Sept 10. Thank you![/quote]

      The topic "time" is not taught yet, they are supposed to learn through e-learning via lead.com. the test on 14 sep is to test how much they knw through e-learning. there’s a circular given on this.[/quote]

        Eh? Not too sure get the message right. Though don't tink that is the idea. The circular did mention the rationale for a test on this un-taught topic. Yet I'm skeptical 😐

        The debate I heard from fellow parents are also very different and ... please pardon me to say .... interesting. Some parents say its a poor excuse to get parents to spent quality time with kids teaching a simple topic, some say its new innovative way to expose kids towards independent learning, some say its a tactic to ensure kids not to slacken off during holidays etc.

        Having say this, kids these days are really not having it easy..... 😞

          hi there, i hear you talking about swimming.


          i would like to recommend myself to you, as i am rather confident that i could help.

          i am an experienced swimmer, with relevant experience in using swimming to DSA. also i want to use my free time to do something constructive, hence suggesting you could consider looking for me.

          if you are interested, do email me at [email protected]



          if you ask me, i dont think joining those supposedly certified coaches will help. yes, they may have more experience. but talk about improvements, and swimming fast, I could do good too.

          do drop me an email (for immediate reply) or reply on this thread so we can explore all possibilities, such as improvements to \"DSA-able\" levels.


          thanks.

            Hi,Thanks but if its the way RSS is planning by E-learning and Teachers just by clearing the syllabus then all parents are forced to engage Tuition centres to Really teach the syllabus to the children.


            In the end all schools can close and not needed as Tuition centres will take over the role and best of all, children can attend the tuition classes at the most comfortable time.

            Parents are not teachers. Quality time with children cannot be spent teaching subjects which are to be learnt from the schools. A school is a school, a home is a home. A teacher is a teacher, a parent is a parent. Parents love unconditionally, I've yet heard of teachers who teach unconditionally ... For now, I only heard they are paid salaries workers where parents and tuition centres have to come in to help them do their jobs.

              I am actually quite ok to have this kinda learning once in a while. Let the kids be independent for awhile. But of cos, not for all the topics...

                I see your point. Yeap, once in a while is ok. 1st time this year, hopefully the last. No different to us since DS very slow due to ADHD. Every nite roller-coaster emotionally trying to teach him same topic using different logic....

                😞

                  i'm also ok to have this kind of learning so long as is once or twice a yr and of course the topics must not be too difficult for us to teach and for them to understand 🙂

                    I too felt it is alright. I believed the school / teacher only select the easy topic. The time topic only includes "o’clock" and "half past" … just 2 concept …
