If it is in His Nature - Notice How He \"REVERT-ed\" Back to His Old-Self Soon Enough ....

No Need to Break His Rice Bowl - lah!!!!
He's Not Really a Bad Sort, Just Not Very \"Teach-Able\" ....

Not going to break his rice bowl straight away
But for a teacher to behave this way is bad example for the kids.
Other professions can give more chance but not those that teach our next generation.

After few days accompanying son in the hospital, I realized some professions require lots of dedication. Nurses and doctors. They must really be caring and that dedication...comes from the heart. It is not a job...there must be genuine concern for patients. Same goes for teaching. Of course, with everyday routine, it's hard to show compassion. But since one has chosen to be in that industry, there is a need for consistency.

My son was bleeding from a laceration right inside the gum after the op...the 2 incompetent doctors came to see him in the ward, pat son's head and left :x Fortunately a nurse trained in cleft/plastic came to see him later and she was the one who stopped the bleeding. She was the one who called the incompetent doctor to return to the hospital, ordered the drip and use a special gel to stop the bleeding. If not for her, this case might be in the newspapers. I am truly grateful to her.

Now to Think About It, Since she's been in Faith since P3,

We R Gonna GET HURT ONE MORE Time ..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

hi, FunX3, you realy make me laugh! :rotflmao:

I don’t know whether all P3 parents are aware of this. I didn’t attend the session but according to one of my friends, she said that the P3 stds are going to stream according to their Math scores. Not EL, as she said marks too close, not CL - marks too far apart, SC - didn’t even consider this subj. Left Math as it has a more wider score spectrum. And true enough, my dd’s class has a Math test today.( no warning to parents at all :x ), exam over and suddenly before school closed has to sit for such test. A real damper! to some kids. This P really needs to sit down and think wisely before implementing something like this which impact every level. I don’t know whether other classes have such test.

[quote=\"S6169\"]came back from the meeting with P. S-banding may not be carried out because most of the top classes parents against it. so there will be normal 4 top classes(1-40, 41-80 and so on).

Thanks S6169 for info. Back to square one for class allocation? I quite like the proposed method actually. It's a good change. P2 parents were more receptive last Fri evening.

reason given by the parents:
1. friends will be separate.
2. one of the mummy gave an example: One Ds in Ch3 and one DS in Fa2. although Ch and Fa are only next door, but the student in these two classes are very different. one only talk about study and the other always talk about cartoons. So they can't be mixed.[/quote]I personally do not agree with the 2 reasons.

In life we are bound to experience separations, making new friends, & learning to respect & accept people's preferences. And I would think primary school is the best place where we should encourage kids to start cultivate such life skills.

When they grow up, there would bound to have opportunity to experience separations etc. From my own experience, I am able to have good memory of my primary school as I have the same friends for the 5 whole years. Can't imagine nowadays, friends change every year.

Put in that aspect is more understandable now

But I recall last time I still get to mix/play with friends from other classes too. Before/after school & during recess time as well though, i cant recall how we managed to do so much during that schort recess period...

Phew ..... Not For P5....

Just Got Report Book Back ....
Got Indicate Class Position, Level Position \"NO MORE\" ....
My Gal Say - TEACHER Say - P Say .... Like This \"NO STRESS\" .... ???? :?

Like ALL of U Say .... No Indication of Next Year's Class ....
So Don't Know Remain in the Same Class / Promoted OR What???? .... :?

My Gal Is VERY VERY VERY VERY UNHAPPY over Proposed Change of Class Name Next Year ....
Her Whole Class Objected, And Extremely UNHAPPY Over the Proposed Name for P6 Next Year ....
Resilience ....
(I Ask Her You Know What The Name Means / Implies -
REPLY : DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE, Perhaps Got Something to Do with P6-PSLE Exam - la ....)

NOW CANNOT USE SHORT FORM ANYMORE!
MUST Spell ALL the 10 Letters OUT ....
R-E-S-I-L-I-E-N-C-E (Yes, They Counted ....)

Since There is RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY Class ....
So No Possibilities of Shortening to RE or RES ....
ALL of Them VERY ANGRY .... :x :x
(Their Take : Next Year Got So many P6 Papers to DO, and EveryOne Have to Write the Full Name of the Class - Sheer Waste of Time ....)
See .... Report Book Cover Page Also Not Enough Space to Write Class Name .... (I Check, and She's RIGHT ....)

IF there is a POPULARITY Survey NOW ....
It Will Definitely B at \"ALL TIME SUPER-DUPER LOW\" ....

Actually, I wonder, Since this Affects the Students DIRECT-ly,
Why PH Never Have a Consultative Meeting with Them As Well - at Least with the Upper Primary Students ....
:?

yes, she said that yesterday. there will be M1, M2, M3, and M4 (next year P4). actually, she also very confused about these ranking system during the meeting and always turn back and checked with the assitant.
Any other P3 classes had the math test today? will go back and check with my ds.
