个人觉得，教育部在要求学生能够掌握华文的坚实基础方面做不到位，偏于哗众取宠。没教会走， 就要求跑， 以至于很多孩子在学习华文的道路上，踉踉跄跄。不是孩子们不想学好华文， 而是教学之处，都存在有意为难他们之嫌 （教学基本面不够，却对孩子学习过于吹毛求疵）， 因此孩子们学习起来无所适从。

The newly appointed MP Ms Sim Ann is meeting Toh Yi residents for a dialogue session on 27th May (at blk 6 Toh Yi) and 28th May (at Bt Timah CC). Both sessions start at 7.30pm


From the media interviews, I get the feeling that she might be one of the MP we can talk to about the education system.

Anyone going?

Yea . . she can. She is the SPS of Education.

Hi, just to check with parents with regard to the Reading Activity Card, whether any of your kids ever receives the badge for completing 20 stars in the card?


In the past two years, my dd had conscientiously completed the required number of stars to qualify for the badge but never had she received any. Her classmates also didn't receive. I had never bothered to follow up with this.

However, this year, they are working on the card again, and once again I hear of this 20-star-badge. I wonder will the kids really receive the badges for their hardwork?

I do remember that my dd got it last year. Will double check and get back.

Agreed. In fact, when I spoken to dd's CL teacher last year, both of us have the same believe that you have to learn Han Zi before HYPY.

My son got it at P1 and P3 but not P2. According to my ds it depends on the teacher.
Your dd got the reading card already? haven't seen this card this year.

[quote=\"freezeat2\"]According to Funx computation, am I right to say that we can even calculate their level position by taking the average ranking of all the subjects

Not really, because kids perform differently in subjects.

somehow i feel that the average percentile of the 4 subjects is indicative of the child's level percentile. perhaps some expert in statistics can advise?[/quote]Seems not. different subject has different mean and the spread of the marks(SD) also different. (i am not a expert in statistics. :lol: )
