MOE to scrap Banding for Secondary Schools

[pirate]

The only maths that I have not returned back to my teachers involve $ and other currency symbols. And even that I can outsource to a $5 calculator. So sorry to all my maths teachers…

Oh hee hee... that was the Maths I taught myself after I gave everything back to my Teachers. All that $$$$ seems to make things simpler. Dunno why. :rotflmao:

Tuition at JC level is something I discourage. I prefer her to get additional help from teachers and classmates which fortunately this is her same thought. If it is not a requirement in her choice faculty of Uni and if the school allow droping maths completely, she would do so, not even want to take H1. Let’s see…


She is towards humanitites but somehow the environment is sending a wrong signal to her that sci students are more superior.

Exactly! Why must CCA be so competitve and whatever gold, silver, bronze in SYF? Sec school CCA has become another stress. It is not based on your interest but more on your strength. I am good in sports doesn't mean I would want to take sports CCA. If I am so keen in sports, I would have go to Sports school. So why am I not given new opportunity to try something different which I might develope the interest later on? I love singing but I might not sing well, why can't I be admitted to choir and learn to sing well?


:goodpost:

And talking about competitive...grrr that totally pissed me off! People likes to ask what one child cca is, just imagine the pop-eye look :yikes: the person gave you when you tell them your child is in the Library. Everything has t be competitve, even the school are not supportive in that dept!

I believe, we should always be open to try new things. No try, how to know you like it or not? No try, how to know if you are good for it or not?

And how about if a particular CCA is not performing well in competition, then remove the CCA? Yes, I have heard of such case. I find this ridiculous!

I have encounter this too!

How about creaming out the best of the best and make them the best best? And leave those not the best ones feel demoralize?

We should cultivate a kind society from school. The good ones, help the weaker ones and learn what is sharing. It is very sad to see young teens to behave selfishly, not willing to help the weaker students, do CIP for the sake of clocking CIP hours. In the first place, what is the purpose of CIP if there is a min hours to clock? I simply cannot understand ...

Yes, I cannot comprehend this part too! And worst still, there are so many umbrellas locally that needs help first, but why are we sending students for overseas CIP??

[daisyt]

Nani, exactly! Paying $1k to go SEA countries to do CIP where many people here need help. I cannot understand the point.


What types of morale are we trying to cultivate our next generation? Are they really sincere when doing CIP?
