All Schools are GOOD Schools

concern2:

Sounds like a real disadvantage to students whose parents can't teach them at home - either due to work or educational background.

Not when the system is functioning the way it shd be..

Teachers Teach, not parents.

Student got problems, look for school teachers after class..

Isn't that how it works in the past?

KSP:

6pm-9pm still peak hrs at most enrichment centres, make it 8am-8pm (all play, lessons, hw time included), then reach home 9pm. No time for enrichments and no time for parents to teach also like that then fair mah. All hw must be done in school. All textbook and assessment must be left in school. Like that parents don't have to stress over it. :congrats:

Teachers need to work in shifts now, making the teaching profession even less attractive. How many parents here would dare to venture into the teaching profession if our kids stay in school from 8 am to 8 pm?

Teachers seem very busy huh but they have time to give tuition or open tuition centre and teach after school :? My friends enquired alot of centres,they said they're current teachers and give tuition after school!!!

Not an issue.. teacher teach normal hours.. 4pm to 8pm maybe non-NIE trained teaching staff/childcare..

but I worry parents will complain no time to spend with kids etc..

Just take a look at the survey results!!


Could we have more members vote please. Bigger sample more reliable.

Chen, tsk, tsk your survey hor... makes our world class education look bad.

It would look worse if I had asked...

Are all MOE schools good?

Now at least, people can quibble about the word \"same\".

Just saw the poll title.. why \"same good\" and not \"equally good\"?

The present situation is not favorable to parents, who can't teach bcos of long work hours/frequent travel or else educational background. These parents are desperate for help, yet they don't know how to nor where to seek help. Money is another big problem. Bcos they can't coach, they have to outsource...money is harder to come by for them. Does MOE really need to raise the bar so high ?

full day schs?

then i forsee some kids will have parents writing in to opt out of afternoon activities.
so poor thing to see kids going to full schs leh.
imo, aftersch student care is already a form of full sch.

conflict of interest.. they may keep good stuff for tuition classes and bochap for school classes.... so that students will be deprived and seek to enroll in their enrichment classes.....

Must ban ban ban ban enrichment centers!!!!
