      Hm, an outsource art teacher. Brings to my mind the hip hop instructor’s suitability to handle young children. Wonder who in the sch is in charge of vetting outsource professionals?


      If I want to "complain" abt this teacher, do I write to the FT? Or to sch admin?

        Should be addressed to HOD Aesthetics, Mr Tan.

          Thanks.

          I am not comfortable with the present arrangement of two classes attending the lesson under a \"teacher\". Imagine a NIE trained full time teacher handling a class of 40 children and a possibly non-NIE trained personnel managing a group of 80 children.

          It's no wonder my boy does not understand what Mr. Chin wants. He has this prob with sitting in a big group when attending lessons.

            I almost forgot to mention, that piece of work, after bringing to and fro, it was like a piece of salted vegetable. I wonder how that serious teacher is going to give her her art grade. :lol:

            :lol: Your little missy is so cute!

            In order to ensure that her art piece will not become a salted vege, I got her a thick PVC tube custom-cut to about 31 cm from the convenient store for her to roll and slot in her art piece. I realised that the drawing paper provided by the teacher to do the specified art pieces is bigger than the normal drawing block size so it doesn't fit into their art folio. The edges will be torn easily if exposed. She can also put the PVC tube into her school bag.

              Hi Periwinkle,

              Are you or hubby attending the P5 briefing today ?
              Hubby is attending as kids have CL tuition. He just attending P1 briefing last night.

              How do you find Maths ? It's really in-depth 😢
              The Maths CA is split into 2 'sessions' - first part without calculator, followed by another paper with calculator.

                My DD actually likes Mr Stanley Chin, purely because she says his drawings are very pro and very realistic. She told me, \"Yes, he's strict, but he has a good sense of humour....\"... There was one day, he also made a joke out of his surname and told the class... \"When you think of double chin, do not think of Stanley Chin\" 😉

                  My P4 boy told me he scolds at least 7 pupils during each lesson. I am very surprised to learn abt this as I hv an idealistic image of someone involved in the arts to be a very patient and gentle person.

                  I think the sch shld assign a teacher/admin staff to sit in during such outsource sessions. We shld prevent a similar case of an overzealous hip hop instructor.

                    Hubby called me during a 5 min break...after the HODs for Maths, Science and Eng have spoken to parents. Teachers have very high expectations for these Maths & Science. It's a pity I couldn't attend the talk by HOD Eng as hubby said it was very helpful.


                    At P5, the teachers really drill the students. As such, 60% of the PSLE students do manage to get 240 points. That's amazing. Even for average students, they are drilled intensively to improve. That's one thing I like :love: about Pei Hwa...there are dedicated teachers and they teach.

                      Jennifer, yes agree with you that maybe they should assign one teacher or admin staff to sit in as the teacher student ratio is quite ridiculous. One teacher : 85 students. :!:

                        mine is the same. When I asked him why didn't use the arts folio, simply replied me no need. Same teacher same pattern hoh. :lol:

                        Mine did not use folio because the art paper used is A3 size, too big to put in standard size folio. She is using the PVC tube that E3 mentioned. But but but...the repeated rolling and 'unrolling' still crumple it. :roll:
