MP echoes calls for PSLE to be scrapped
-
I agree... the teachers play a very impt role!
my girl had a tuition teacher 4 yrs ago who taught her for 1 whole yr, but i never heard from her. to speak to the teacher, must call the main hotline of the centre and they will tell the taecher to call back. she never did! Needless to say, this teacher doesn't teach her anymore. In fact, I took her out of the centre. sad to say, this was actually a high profile centre.
in contrast... my girl had such a wonderful teacher in P1. every single day, for the first 6 mths of sch, the teacher would send out a report every night on what she did with the class!
so yes, teacher plays a very very important role.
we parents can consider ourselves lucky if our kids have good teachers! -

PM said PSLE will not be scrapped, but tweaked.
This was mentioned on the first day of PSLE...meaning the change will not happen yet.
Much emphasis has been placed on PSLE bcos of secondary school posting.

They do not have to LOVE kids, know what i mean? After all, primary and kindy is different. It's good enough if some do not make sarcastic remarks.7 hours of quality teaching means 100% teachers must be dedicated, passionate about teaching, love kids and work wonders...
how many percent of such teachers do u think ur dc's school has?
Teachers in any school is like the 'product' in marketing. They are role models, educators to the young and mould the future. Why do you think we have Teachers' Day ? -

Our experience with teachers is not so bad except for the scheduling which can cause some major glitches in learning.
The scheduling of teachers for certain subjects especially those taking 2 core subjects and have to attend a lot of outside courses for their development, or have pregnant issues, can be disruptive for learning. But these are not teachers’ issues, it is a scheduling issue. Need an experienced person to know how to do constraint planning(predictable constraints) to plan well every year. In fact this is one of the cornerstones in the modus operandi of a school. -
Frankly, it’s really sad that my son desperately needed a Math tutor in P5 in order to PASS and tutors in P6 this year. The question is WHY ?
I’ve had the impression that school teachers are trained…well, that’s why we send kids to school in the first place and didn’t have much problems in the earlier years. In this crucial year, we were literally scrambling for H.E.L.P.
Why do schools set such tough prelim papers ? -
