Agree agree...our teachers here have to teach Math, Science, English and Social Studies...simply rojak. The state we are in is caused by MOE.
In contrast, our schools rushes through the syllabus, and have exam questions that tests concepts that are not even introduced in the class. She feels that students in China have a much better foundation than Singapore students.janet_lee88:
But in a classroom of 40, how can he/she possibly pay attention to all of them ? It is possible to have a maximum of 30 pupils at P1 and P2, why can't this continue all the way to P6 ? Why is the class increased to 40 from P3 onwards ? Science is introduced at Primary 3 and it's not an easy subject to handle.
Our teachers are jack of all trades. They're not specialists and they try to cope as much as they can, teaching 3 subjects (Science, Maths, English) in half a day, with PE and other non academic subjects thrown in, competing for time with the academic subjects. It is no wonder we're where we are now.
We pride ourselves in our education, I think the credit should go to the parents and the tuition agencies.
Well, with the elections over, and the top man has said that they will listen more to the people and take suggestions from them. We'll see if they walk the talk.
As parents, we are pretty much involved in our kids, education included.
Since the TOP man mentioned he has heard us, let's see whether something POSITIVE will be done to improve the system asap and not 5 years later. -
May I know where I can find the petition?

I’m just wondering…if MOE teachers themselves cannot cope, do they ‘outsource’ for their own kids ? If that happens, then I believe they will understand the feelings of we parents.

I asked two teachers yesterday a simple question...
\"If YOU take all 4 subjects in the PSLE, are you confident of scoring well in all 4?\"
