ps: erhem, erhem, if I may just MIS-quote Yeats' Poem \"The Second Coming\"

Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the depts/school ......

Okie, just trying to be cheeky here :siam:

Gosh, i dunno if it's just me cause i've just caught up on a notti version just by
looking at the ehem... poem.

Kekekekeke ....

You mean the TITLE of the poem sista

If you have been following other ''rather similar'' threads (which i believe you have), you would have noticed, by now, that it has always been the very same ''righteous'' & ''noble'' few, who are ever cynical, critical and anti-everything about the s'pore's education system (GEP, SAP, PSLE, IP etc.. you name it, they ''anti-'' it)! And many of them do write extremely well too, which explains why they could coach their kids themselves, and hence do not understand why other parents could not do so!

Now I understand why I was specifically highlighted somewhere else. :evil:

BeContented:

[quote=\"buds\"]Because at present, i suppose i am just contented. :please:

Because i'm contented, i'm happy with what i have or can have.
(And so i guess i bitch less about a lotta stuff..)

While the almost-seemingly-Utopian task of revamping or change takes place, i make do with what i can and like the positive thinking others here, make the best of it... how i can.

PS. I didn't dare step into your good schools thread.. :nailbite: As you have already iterated, our bridges are a wee bit far apart.

Just a short note to share that i believe all schools are good schools... built to provide/offer education to our children with spanking facilities if compared to other less-privileged countries.. BUT it is the people facilitating the schools that makes the difference.

Every single one of them. :love:

I like. I like!!! :rahrah:
must show you how much I like mah ... kekeke.

You my idol mah.. :please:
BeContented is a good mantra to live by.
So we are always grounded in our ways of life.
Not to say that we are not ambitious or not bothered to strive for better.
But when we are contented can we then at least be happy. Life's just too short.[/quote] :love: Yap, life is just too short......learn to accept and be contented so that we can be happier 傻人有傻福。 平凡也是福。 知足常乐。

LOLMum:

I wonder who is taking the lead now.


Is tuition centre trying to catch up with school or school trying to catch up with tuition centre.

The school is expecting the tuition centers to do the school's job..

At the end of the day…who cares. Only parents care and responsibilities just fall back on parents. Might as well make do with the system. Accept it and move on. At least makes life simplier and less stress. Keep complianing on the system won’t even help current situation. Afterall should the policy do change, it will takes yeeeeeaaarrsssssss.

And to think that this problem isn't exclusive to our country and gets worse as countries develop. It takes each and everyone one's will and wisdom to make any change possible. And that is like 愚公移山.

You are correct that this problem isn't exclusive to our own. There is PISA grading for countries to participate. For years, countries wondering why SGP always top in mathematics and science. In order to learn, leverage and tap on SGP way of teaching mathematics, countries approached SGP and we lend our expertise by going abroad to teach. These folks are people like Marshall Cavendish (together with ministers lah) and they are proud to said that they have covered 5 continents and countries like Saudi, part of USA states etc are adopting My Pals mathematics textbooks.

What i would really like is......are SGP teachers exposed to such learning like the overseas counterpart?

I'm an educator too. I care. :please:
I have many educator frenz who care too.
We care enough to zoom in on whom we observe
need more help.. we explain things in a different way
should one way not work.. we share often with parents on
their children's weak areas & successes (no matter how small)
and partner them so we can overcome any challenges together so
the children will never be left behind.. in short, our doors are always
open and our hearts are always there... in the right place... where they
rightly belong.

There ARE still many good educators around. Even if we do get the \"off\" ones
once or twice, it doesn't mean there are no longer good ones around. There are.. :love:
