Teach Less, Learn More

Chenonceau:
I provide CL tuition and compo writing class to my son bcos I can't handle these areas. The rest, hubby and I coach ourselves to best ability. Son doesn't get fantastic results, but to provide him with more tuition doesn't make sense and will only make him get sick of school/studies.
Exactly!smurf:
The only way to kill this pattern (tuitioning) is to DO NOT follow the herd. Let your child learns at his or her own pace. But do it at own risk. Because others still will follow herd.
Sickening right. -

brenda, as for my gal's pri sch, i think 1 term the most 2 compos.I’m also quite upset about the compo. writing. I cannot understand the marks in P5/P6 became 40 marks and yet the exposure is very little.
As of today, the following is the output of attending external class vs school:
CL compo, external is 14 and school is 5.
EL Compo. external is 15 and school is 5
so yr figure \"5\" belongs to 1 term or 1 yr.

w/o marks ?? oh...i think this is the first time i heard,
Mine only did 4. Worse, the compo comes back without marks for English... And without comments for Chinese. He doesn't know what he did wrong or can improve.
no marks are given after marking compo writing. -

Come on Janet, MOE made a mistake, but it's a spelling mistake.janet_lee88:
I have to send my son for creative writing class bcos his teacher doesn't teach them to write. Enrichment centres enjoy good biz bcos of the poor teaching system in schools.
When I first saw 'teach less, learn more'...I felt that something was just not right.
It's actually supposed to be 'Teach less, earn more'.
The schs teach less .......... And the tuition ctrs earn more. Get it, get it! :lol: -

those teachers who give tuition lessons during their spare time also earn more,
as pupils din get to learn as much during the actual lessons,
parents getting anxious would likely send them for extra coaching. -

Anyone has any idea if the recent top scorers for PSLE receives tuition? I can only remember it was reported that most of them have parents who are high fliers and/or professionals.
dd is just an average student in a normal school, and hub and I are not high fliers. My humble hope is for dd to enjoy her childhood and still do decently for PSLE - without tuition (at the moment). We try to tell her that it's her job to own the learning process, and she has to faced up to her failure if she does not do well. Because of this, I have been \"ham-tam\" by my well-meaning friends for my lack of provision of tuition for dd.
Am I kidding myself to think that dd will not be left behind, given this \"teach less, learn more\" concept? Seems like most parents here lament, but feel that \"learn more from tuition\" is the way to go :? . On the other hand, I really feel sorry for my friend's kid who, at P4, was asked to drop swimming and piano lessons to make time for 4 subjects tuition plus additional classes in CL and EL creative writing classes!! :shock:
