      After that nasty teacher left suddenly, class was rewarded with a great FT who is the exact opposite...she is warm, responds to email/queries promptly and definitely caring. Has EQ.


      I know teachers are very busy...but the last thing I expect is such treatment. She dare not do it to parents, so she punished a child for being pro-active. Damn idiot. :mad:
      Strange thing is, why did she return ? With such mean teachers, parents cannot possibly do anything.
      :snuggles: It's ok lah... just try and manage lor... there are so many viewpoints that MOE also too lost to assume leadership. As individuals, we just make the best of it. There are ways to get around these things on an individual level... and whatever we can't resolve, just bear with it. Make the best of it. Look on the brighter side.

        Not all schools are the same.


        Schools have different system of management which was passed down from previous generations. Some schools are thus more effective in its management while others are not as good.

        I do not advocate that MOE makes all schools equal deliberately. Differences are natural. Principals in schools should not be swapped every few years. This is just a way to steal ideas from talents from a school and distribute those ideas to other schools that have not done anything. Copyright should be respected and original ides from each school should be recognised accordingly.

          I find it strange when Chinese teacher rang me up and spoke to me in English. LOL! It's fine she has an English name, but since she's supposed to be my DS's Chinese teacher, I would have expected her to address herself as X lao-shi instead of using her English name. Also funny when I came across DS's homework and the MCQ question has answers 'True' and 'False' (in English) for the kids to choose from! DS was the one who LOL!! I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry with him. :roll:

            one moment someone complained about tuition, and everyone says all the teachers have been asking the students to go get tuition ..... what a nation of tuition teachers and bla bla bla ........

            and after some people start to say teachers never say go for tuition ...... ....

            think must start a new thread \"Teachers never say go get tuition ....\" so that everyone can post there .... :evil: :evil: :evil:

            Because different people got different view mah.

            The \"Someone\" want ban tuition

            The \"Someone\" don't want ban tuition.

            We can't please everyone lah. No matter how MOE change, \"someone\" will complain.

            LOL!!!

            Not all parents has same experience.we didn't say all teachers asking to go tuition.We say about some Teachers in some school cos all the schools are not same GOOD.

                My son weak in MT,though T doesn't find anything to tell me to improve. :? She just asked me to send tuition. :yikes:


                My kids are in a SAP school and so far no teachers have ever asked us to solve the problems by sending kids to tuition. Teachers will usually hold remedial classes if they find that the kids are weak. When the kids improve, they get \"kick out\" so that other weaker kids can have a chance.

                Also, in their school I observed that the higher the child's abilities, the bigger the class size. Eg. for children who are weak in MT or generally weak, they have 20+ pupils only. These are not foundation subjects. Still doing normal but rather the school wants to give these kids more attention.

                I am unsure if that is the case for other schools.

                  My girl is in a neighourhood school, barely passed her P2 Chinese Exam last year. This year, she’s call up for remedial lesson. Managed to learn better this year. Of course, the new MT teacher helped too. With some practices and her better attention in class, she managed to score 60% for her mock test this yr, which is an accomplishment for me.


                  They stream MT classes by ability, so that the teachers can spend more time drilling the basics and give more help to those weaker ones.

                    Recently, we were ask to sign an application form to make payment from our child Edusave Account. Two of the items spell as follows:


                    http://i42.tinypic.com/eskn13.jpg\">

                    I call the P regarding the above mention items, and was told that its kinds of software that manage student Portal, eLearning( distance learning in cause of SARS period) blogging and others. Further more I was told that every Terms the pupils need to make this 2 items again. I don’t agreed with the principle that this 2 software application should be under our account. I reason that this software application it’s a common use software application Like Microsoft office and any many others third party softwareware application. The school should pay full amount instead. The P say he had been doing this for 5 years now and I am the only one to complain. Hello! you could be wrong for 5 years and now I’m kind enough to correct you. To end he say he don’t want to “argue with me” and hang up even I'm still on line. I don’t think this is an argument a discussion or a feedback I suppose.. Dear P: Wonder the purchase of the Netbook can also be under the Edusave Account ??? he will tell you NO because.... this n that. BTW how they come out the amount ??? wonder how much is the software cost? Just do some maths 1500 pupils(Estimated P1 to P6) x $8(Pupils Pay) = 12K(per terms), 12K x 4(Terms)=48K and for 5 years will be 48k x 5(years) = $240K.??(compute base on Pupils Pay from Edusave) a software cost $240K+ +. Anyway this school needs audit !! (misuse our Edusave)
