All About GEP

wwcookie:
wwcookie, I agree with you, it would make learning more interesting. Creative teaching should be adopted not only in GEP class, but also mainstream class. The children will look forward to Maths class (bcos of M&Ms, haha), bcos it is more fun. Put in FUN in learning is always better.
Shouldn't all classes be conducted in this manner? GEP or otherwise? I'm sure all children will benefit from such creative ways of teaching, not just the gifted ones. MOE should strive to nurture creative and confident children, regardless of whether they are in the top 1% or not, and not just exam-smart children.
But I guess in this case, may be cost is a concern???? 1 packet of M&Ms for each student, who is going to pay??? Teachers or parents? My son said, \"May be they can use the MINI M&Ms, it is cheaper.\"
From what I see, improvements have been done in P1 and P2 (since my son's time ~~ 5 years ago), class size is reduced by 10 (from 40 to 30); the lessons are more interesting than before (my girl's time). My daughter didn't get to write Fairy tales stories at P1 and P2 even though she was from the same Primary school as DS.
So MOE is doing something, may not be as fast as we want, though. -

How I wish my ds like to join the debate class..but he doesn't like it..and so cannot force him..
Are there some clear advantages in joining debate ? think dd will be joining next year but she is wondering if debate as CCA will take up a lot of time. -
I don’t know if it applies to all schools, but in my ds school, debate was not considered a CCA. He attended his CCA weekly and the debate was additional. Close to debate competitions, he had to stay back many times and even went to school on Saturdays to prepare for the competitions.

I think it does take up sometime as they need to prepare the script . The advantage is they will learn the debating skill! So is definitely good! But my ds doesn't like...so...vlim:
