did i miss out any ‘all Boys’ or ‘all Girls’ school ?

phttp, how did you get 6.75 classes for SCGS?

[phtthp]

assume 30 pupils per class.


SCGS intake has 200 pupils.
200/30 = 6 and two third

[phtthp]

why Cannosa convent so small intake (4 classes) ?

why CHIJ Good Counsel also small (5 classes) ?

[phtthp]

not sure where to post this …


a) suppose a child has some learning difficulty.
If he fail in end of P1, will he be automatically pushed up to P2 ? or asked to repeat P1 ? does MOE allow repeat, or been banned ? how do schools handle ‘special’ kids in mainstream ?

b) will the treatment be different - if this kid doesn’t have any learning difficulty at all ?

How would you define learning difficulty? Honestly, my daughter in P1 this year is considered slow. I wouldn't say it's due to 'year-end child' thing but she picks up rather slow and has problems remembering...constantly requiring reminders. However, her teacher is very patient with her. I revise with her frequently too...was told some kids need time to adjust to primary school. Certainly hope so :xedfingers:

Thanks Janet, for your prompt reply.


your daughter is fine, ok - she doesn't face any learning difficulty. Constant daily revision will help her to remember facts well.

i am thinking ... so far, how effective are those 'Allied Educators' in the primary schools ? what kind of help do they actually extend to help kids with dyslexia, speech delay, mild autistic, in mainstream?

Maybe school health doctors will recommend necessary specialist. Daughter in P1 was recommended to see th school health doctor regarding her height. P1 students now all get promoted to P2 (en-bloc) end of the year.

i haven't heard of anyone repeating P1 yet. But i've heard of P1 students being sent back to Preschool at the beginning of the year because they just could not cope with P1. They do not even have the fundamentals of ABC 123.
