I was told that teachers still in child-bearing age do not teach P6 classes...don't know how true.

Not so nice to mention my DD school. I attended a parent talk earlier this year. Conducted by the principal. She says last year batch of PSLE result not bad. When she flash up the slide, I almost fainted. The ave T Score in the school last year is 210. And she says not bad!!!

:yikes:

:idea: typo error is it ? :scratchhead:

Alamak, I am not using another name…but even if I do, anyone who wants to find out more about me can easily trace. I am disillusioned. But since it is already last lap, I couldn’t be bothered. Have taught my son not to reveal anything about his tutors to the teachers. There is no need for them to know anything. Why should they know anyway?

[worried parents]

Any parents with child applying for DSA @ SST or anyone with child studying at SST?


Please advise, besides student’s results slips and teacher’s testimonial, does child needs to prepare student’s portfolio and is there any sample ?

Thanks

Could it be majority of the kids qualified for express stream that's why she said not bad?

sorry, may not be in the right thread.

question, does your dc sch gives out napfa certificates? my kids only have the napfa test results (eg. bronze, silver etc) indicated in the report book after the sa2 exam. since napfa is compulsory, do all schs give certificates, some schs give, or none give at all?

And the top student score 263 last year with another one score 261. The rest of other students score are not made known to us.

My child's school is having supplementary everyday starting from this term. It used to be a rest day on Wed. I guess heat is up for PSLE. However, the science teacher has not started her engine but claimed that she could not start the science supplementary this week since parents have not signed the consent form. Is that she has not sent out the form or the parents have not signed...?! Very bad luck to have this teacher this year. So got to depend on ourselves

Wow.. No joke. Still no news from my boy's school. It is normal that parents have to sign & return the consent form on the first week of the term & lessons start on the second week. This week does not have supplementary class. This Fri is Parents & Teachers Meeting (PTM) Day. Next Mon is Youth Day & next Wed is E Learning Day.

1st day of term 3 in school. Ds brought back pile of homeworks. More to expect.

Same for dd. She just managed to finish it.

Asking her to take a 15mins break before preparing for a mini Science test tomorrow ! :faint:

No homework on the first day of school. We received SMS from my boy's Co Form teacher who is also the English HOD on last Sat. She was reminding the kids to submit holiday homework on the first day of school & mock tests for all subjects on the first three days of school.
