      4) at PTA last year, this teacher said she has no idea why I need to see her about my dd and I was like :siao: teacher.
      Your dd must be doing well in class, so the teacher saw no need to meet you.

              Educators will not willingly accept comments/feedback from parents.
              They feel they are always right...and if we parents really voice out our unhappiness, our kids will suffer repercussions after that. Do we want our kids to be black marked by the teachers ?
              Attend PTMs and listen to what teachers tell me...don't volunteer any info. Just smile and get it over.

              never in our experience


              Never in your experience does not mean such cases don't exist. But I sincerely hope instances like my experience are very rare. On the whole, (despite my share of some not-so-good teachers) I think most of the teachers I encountered have done a relatively good job.

                [quote=\"beanbear\"]Hi Chen, some questions i cd offer for ur thinking: what's your desired outcome from the action u take? Teacher to become aware of her incompetency, then do something abt improving her competency? School become aware of problem? Do u believe teacher can change in the short term? What can be changed & what cannot? What's really a system issue or individual issue here? Of its lack of clear marking rubrics & counter-checking of marking, then it's system issue.


                These are lovely questions... helps me focus. Draws down the emotional response a lot.

                For the benefit of the students in general, perhaps you can consider writing to MOE to inform them your DS's English teacher's incompetency problem (without mentioning names), so that MOE could do something about it?[/quote]I emailed the HOD... that should work?

                    Just to be fair, I believe there are still many good teachers in schools. For instance, my sil’s dd has one such good teacher. Knowing that the child has a higher learning ability than her current class, she fights to move her into one of the best classes. She recognises the child’s strength in maths and suggested to my sil to let her dd skip supplementary classes. Instead of the classes, she would give her more higher level work to do at home.

                      The problem is my son doesn’t like to go to tuition.I can afford a cheap tuition.

                      He said learn from his T and Teach him.But no MT PTM in my school and they put their email id in their website,only HOD’s id there.My son refused to bring the school diary to T.

                        Sorry, I mean, MOE should check that the teacher is truely competent in English before he/she's allowed to teach English in school. Ditto for other subjects.
