      Go ask the teacher what should a compo of the same title that score 69/70 looks like.

      none of the students could get such marks 😉

      Don't be so sure about that. Our students' standard in chinese are really not that high.

      I came to this conclusion because my colleague who was a PRC told us that certain student can get almost full mark for his university entrance chinese essay writing. And their standard is really very high one.[/quote]ok lah...at least in DHS, none of the students has ever gotten such marks, what abt RV then ??
      which i seriously doubt too…....
      is the different in the marking, grading system.
      anyway, there are also PRCs in DHS with very well written model essays, writer kinda of std.,
      but then what's the maximum marks they had gotten ?? (from here, we shd be able to see how is the grading like)
      hearsay the school publishes the model essay books every year, and no sign of 69/70.

        Maybe when the tr is writing comments on the scripts, she imagines that she's writing prescriptions for the patients.

        Don't mean to be critical, but I don't think it's acceptable for a chinese tr to write this way, she's supposed to set good example for the students. The chinese characters has all those strokes that should be emphasized all the time! How to expect the students to write well when the tr has such atrocious handwriting. :roll:

        You can feedback to the teacher during the meet teacher session, should be after CA1. If not try email the teacher or call her.

        I'm worried the tr may take it personally and then dd may be penalised. Even during lessons, most students can't read her words on the white board.

Maybe is the primary school children cannot get use to it. In secondary school, there are more thing to teach and the teachers cannot afford to write every characters nicely.

          Maybe, your daughter can take a snapshot using HP camera and show us?

            They can’t use HP in class, or it will be confiscated and they have to write report of 500 words. I’ll scan dd’s script with the tr’s comment and you can see whether it is normal for sec tr to write this way. Btw, what about other Y1 students in other classes, do they have problems reading their chinese tr’s handwriting?

              Me, she writes in 抄写 which isnt 100% unacceptable as my grandparents do that too but look you're writing to 13 year olds not 31 year olds. Are you teaching them that that is the way to write?

              OT: Anybody's ds/dds noticed that PE teachers are suddenly not forgiving?

                dd ran fast for 2.4 km, so her pe tr didn't give her trouble. only those who failed had to do 'desserts'. 😄

                      Hi sall

                      My son said that he is able to read his teacher’s hand writing most of the time. And yes, his pe teacher is pretty fierce.
