I know if we compare it against national avg, it doesn't look so bad.. but if you are looking at overall score for the students, Sci is a weak subj that will pull down the agg score.. obviously alot of students score well for the other 3 subjects, so I am of the opinion that more students can be 'top students' if their science scores do not pull their grades down loh..Just happens to Browse thru PH Web Site ....
PH Sc Results is Indeed Not as Good as the Other 3 Subj in PSLE 2010.
15.8% A*, 51% A = 66.9% (A* + A) > National Avg 43.2%
Now Is that Good? :?
which is why I felt that it's rather 'wrong' for him to credit his 'learn everything' policy to producing top students in PH..
Maybe MOE just simply needs better science teachers/ methods throughout...

You are so right! The problem they have to depend on parents to shuffle them to their friend's house to do the project. Not indept enough. Really tough for parents. Worse the deadline is so tight, really like working world. :x No wonder someone comment that they can do well in JC, well train so young and after 3 yrs + of practice, why not?[/quote]Errrrrrr ....Funx3:
[quote=\"comfy\"]Hello everyone, just to update what is happening to my dd in her school. Well, it is one project after another project besides never ending list of school homework. Now I know why some parents don't send their kid to GEP even though selected. The programme seem to like to give them project 'big' one 'small' one for EL,SS & Sci. So parents interested in GEP, must be prepare to hear the word PROJECT (meeting).
Sounds Like Poly / University Study Style Already ....
Maybe U Can Add Another 4 yrs + More, For Surely ALL these GEP Students will End up in one of those IP, IB Course ....
And More Project + Works ....
So they Should Be Super-Ready for JCs ....

Meaning = \"Beware, I May Be your Big Boss, One of These Days!\"
This is so typical metality of certain school educator/teacher in Singapore Ed system. He think student is so hardup for that one mark, very narrow-minded way of thinking. Never think of learning/sharing knowledge. That why std in S'pore is not interested in asking question and hence not encourage to be creative and proactive. And then the ed sys keeps promoting 'Thinker today and leader tomorrow', should say this to teacher.IJJ:
Last SA2, my girl was confused with one of the questions. She spent time in the public library to read books related to it and posed her research to her Science tr over email. A day later, HOD Sci called my girl at home. The first question was, \"You did so much just for that 1 mark?\" I was on the other end of a connected phone. That, certainly did not impress on me as a professional educator.

Oh My Gal Has Long Given up on Him already. In fact She Study on her Own.
Certainly the mentality and tone needs to be worked on.
As to the Mentality and Tone - Definitely Need Major Surgery and Updating .... IJJ:
Kids Nowadays R rather Discerning, Knows when NOT to Listen to Immaterial Staff like that.Oh yes, I found the reply reflects the narrow-mindedness of the person. Sounded defensive to me then too. Well, mine did this to satisfy her inquisitive mind, that 1 mark was immaterial to her. Thankfully, my girl was not intimidated or discouraged to discontinue such persistence in pursuing knowledge.
Kudos to your Gal!

Thought they inform the parents of the \"coming pressure\".

I believe they are trying to stretch the kids. After 1-2 term, they will get the hang of it .. I believe.[/quote]Well, not so, I think they are 'stretching' the parents too! I hope can survive to the end of the yr.

[/quote]Didn't want to say 7+ yrs, too frightening to think about it. How to 'tahan'! I am actually prepared to let my dd take the mainstream route if she don't enjoy the pg anymore. Learn to study in a less 'stressful' way, I think.

How I wish I had a 7-footer at home, then I can blow the house down & ds can wake up the neighbourhood! :lol:

Hee Hee ....
Too bad my apt too small and pocket too shallow. I actually harbour this morbid idea that ds can play both Nocturne & Fantasie Impromptu for me when I'm on my last breath ..... then I can die a happy man ....... guess I'm too much of a Chopin fan. :lol: -
Thanks, Mrsbongz & Funx3!
Sometimes, I cannot help but to feel that there are so many educators out there whom we have to entrust our little ones into their care to impart tools and knowledge, yet not only they are not doing enough, instead they attempt to kill the zealous kids' enthusiasm in learning. Tsk tsk tsk... :x
Thankfully, thankfully, the passionate ones outnumbered these, or rather, mine is very blessed to have mostly great ones who are dedicated to nurture such hungry minds. :love:
