Is 10th August a school holiday for your kid's school?

[PhoBIA]

Imami:

limlim:

Give up after nth tries.. no more energy to fight since there are many more young and capable teachers-to-be around..

\"We had a very good cohort this this year.. and would not be able to offer you.................................\"

see until sick.

Not keen anymore..

PhoBIA, this is the one.

Oic.....
Maybe limlim showed that she/he's coverting the holidays more than wanting to be a teacher truly?

Maybe seven (th) times :?

autumnbronze:

Maybe seven (th) times :?

But definitely more than 3 times (th mah).

I asked him before leh in this thread, it is 9 times, but he also never refute so we take it as 9 times lor. In an ironic way, it's good limlim didn't get that elusive offer, otherwise he goes in thinking that he'll have 10 weeks block leave which many forummers said it's not true. Then he may feel 'cheated'.

Hang on a min, what has how many times limlim applied to MOE got to do with 10-aug sch holiday?

A lady from China commented that our school going kids have many school holidays.


She told me in her village, the kids attend formal school from morning till 4.30pm. I’m not sure if this is the case in city areas as well.

verykiasu2010:

then education service people has no weekend at all. you slave driver, everything just for your benefit and convenience

How often is meet the parents session?

Isn't there supposed to be give and take? 12 weeks sch holidays minus the duty days not enough to cover these weekends?

I feel, schools in fact have all the benefits and convenience..

As compared to hospitality, F&B, service, IRs and such.. (to imami: Some of these professions cannot take last minute leave too and for some leave have to be applied 6 mths in advance. Teachers are not the only ones who \"kena the inflexibility\")

of coz you may feel differently. I'm not asking you to agree with me.

I also feel there is too many school holidays here..

Little little things only school holidays.

The term holidays and June/Dec holidays is good for the students and teachers to rest.. but there is more and more holidays like 10th Aug..
And more activities being held during weekdays which effectively eat into the lessons.

If more and more are being tested by schools, but the lessons getting lesser and lesser.. what gotta give?

Are teaching methods more effective than before? or parents have to resort to tuition?

This is perhaps the concept of teach less (in school), learn more (outside tuition)! :rotflmao:
