These days there r already tuition centers who target parents claiming to teach parents how to teach but really wat they do is to lecture u, give a few demonstrations and handouts & off u go. After that half day or full day so-called workshop, a few may have caught something, the rest will feel lost & forget what they learnt and then feel desperate & end up sending their kids to their tuition centre. So what u end up paying is double, first u paid for the advertisement tuition centres dished out at u and then u pay again because u realize a teacher is not born overnite & u can't teach ur own child effectively.

Baby... I can do better than that. Ask those who have attended my free parent-child pair workshops!! :evil: :evil:

There's a discussion on the topic \"Branded vs Neighbourhood schools\" tomorrow at 8pm on Channel News Asia. It might be interesting for some to weigh in on what's being shared. http://blogtv.channelnewsasia.com/default.aspx

PM me. I am interested in the parent child workshop too!!


Talking about schools setting difficult papers that end up failing the kids, I think the MOE started that first. There was a year where they set such a difficult math paper that the kids came out crying. ThAt was about 5-6 years ago. The rationale was to differentiate the As from the A * students. Thereafter the schools felt compelled to set these super tough papers to "prepare" their kids for the exams, so they can be deemed to be a truly "good school"! If many kids can score those A*, the ministry should be happy that what has been taught is sufficient. As it is, our standards are already higher than most countries. The UNSW papers that our kids do are already a level ahead, if you have noticed.

I know of many parents who send their children to multiple tuitions for each subject!! And they start from p1. Their kids have no life apart from school and all these classes. All structured time. My fear is that the kids will all burnout even before they come to the exams that really matter. Theses parents should try out their kids schedule. I feel tired for their kids.
