Parents, not enrichment centres, are key to result

Wah-lau! Some bits in this thread has really OT-ed by miles! :offtopic:


Aniwaes, here's my take..

1. Not all parents can teach.
ie. They may be able to teach but mebbe using their old-school style which may take longer for the child to understand. May pose more harm than help.

2. Not all parents are cut out to teach.
ie. They may not be educated or not educated enough to teach their children.

3. Not all parents can afford to teach.
ie. They both need to go out to work to support their family..... or needs..... or well..... even wants.
ie. or both parents are high flyers in their career or they travel for work often so no time to teach.

4. Not all parents want to teach.
ie. Oh.. they teach... but they go, \"Think if given a choice, i want to teach you all meh. Cheh.\"

5. Not all parents care to teach.
ie. Yes, there are still parents in this day and age who believe the child learns everything in school..... from the teachers. They go, \"Ahh? We must teach at home oso arh? They go school learn everything oredi what..\"

6. Not all parents dare to teach.
ie. They are educated.. knowledgable.. but they go, \"If teach wrongly then how?\"

7. Not all parents like teaching.
ie. Aaaah... these parents go, \"Please arh, don't ask me anything. Dunno anything please go ask your teacher(s)...\"

My experience with teachers are that they are open to any methods that will help the students as long as they know what they are doing. I teach factorization to my P4 students though it is taught in secondary level. The main reason is I feel that's the best method as it leaves very little margin for error/omission even though most students find it very difficult to master in the beginning. This may be due to maturity of the brain as one poster mentioned earlier in the thread. When the school teachers realised that my students are using a different method from what they are teaching, they have no objections. I didn't hear that they use the method after that, so it might be that they have to stick to MOE recommended methods. :censored: However, my students did report that some teachers adapt those nuggets that I used e.g. using fingers for 9 timetable. :imcool:

Heh! I also used that to teach my boy too.

Here is an example of a short cut to cognitive output. i.e., heuristic (albeit a simple one with perhaps a small margin for cognitive bias). Clearly, it is something that gives tutormum an edge in her work with her students AND helped laughingcat to coach her niece. Parents who dunno (not as clever as laughingcat)... and with no $$ to buy tutormum's services... How?

Just put a set of heuristics in the textbooks. No one will die from it.
