Happy Mama:

Guess students in 'elite' schools are expected to know, so teachers tend not to spoon-feed them. One of the top schools I know have teachers entering classes and telling the students that she won't be covering a certain chapter since the entire class already knows. This is purely her assumption that these kids have tuition which covers topics way in advance.


Well, that's the price to pay for being in good or top schools...

Just my two cents worth....

obviously, if these kids have tuition which covers topics in advance, these students will become 'elite'.

so i presumed school will not cover anything more than 必读字 and 必写字....

If that's the case, they should give out the moxie as reference rather than ask them to memorize and write out without really knowing application and meaning right?

Hi Parents,

Regarding P5 supplementary lessons, I understand top 3 classes don't have to attend. But for P6 students, they are required to attend 4x a week. :shock:...so that means they leave home in the morn until about 530pm.

I asked my dd whether her P2 CL teacher went thru. She said, \"Nope.\" I asked her again whether her P3 CL teacher went thru. She said, \"Nope.\"

If I remembered correctly, when I ask my dd, she said \"Nope\" too

so i presumed school will not cover anything more than 必读字 and 必写字....[/quote]I'll ask my younger dd 2nite. My elder dd says so far her CL teachers did go through meanings of moxie and spelling with dem.

You will receive a \"love letter\" :love: from Science HOD. All P2 kids will receive this letter. Last year, the letter was given before the CCA memos. I am surprised that you've not received it yet. Maybe they had decided to \"change\" this year? It is optional but most kids in each class will participate. It is conducted by external Speech and Drama instructors from \"Acropolis English Centre\".

At term 3, all the classes will put up their own classes' productions for parents to watch. If I am not wrong, there was one similar one conducted for the P4s as well.

My DH was telling me that he heard from Science HOD that this year there will not be any Science Expression. I think they are renaming it to Speech and Drama but not sure if Science HOD will still be in charge... not sure if I heard DH correctly.... haha....

arghh, not to my girl leh, I have to explain to her what is ge zi, what is lian dan.


She said the teacher never mention anything else abt moxie other than when it is.

Just feel that, the least the teacher could do is briefly explain the meaning of the sentence and when to apply it since this is sort of like ready sentences for you to use during composition.

No point having the sentences but don't know when or how to apply. Or am I asking too much of the teacher??

So just want to check with the other classes if this is the norm when it come to the moxie sentences.

I checked with my son, his teacher did not explain to his class too. i fully agree with u that the teacher should at least go thru the words. :x

Maybe that's why the P2s did not receive the letters. May I ask how did you DH happen to know?
