[quote]On streaming at Primary 1, our policy is clear - there should not be streaming or examinations at that stage. The pace of teaching should also be guided by the syllabus and not by how much the children already know. Otherwise we will have an upward spiral where over-teaching in the classrooms results in parents over-preparing their children before Primary 1, which will in turn lead to further over-teaching. If there are children who know the material ahead of what is expected, we should let them buddy others, so that they can learn to empathise and share.

MOE say and do different things again... :faint:

Your are confused with the difference bet school banding and subject banding.[/quote] :faint: ya, this sounds more like a school thing rather than MOE....

I see.. So u are taking the teacher's advice?

90% is yes as if take HCL is one more subject to study and nothing much for PSLE. Just hope that she can concentrate on the 4 subject.
Any DC taking HCL?

My kids are in SAP schools, so HCL since p1.[/quote]Is it really difficult?

This is the email that CL Teacher replied:


Hi,
 
XX obtained band 2 for Term 4 exam. Even though her Term 4 test paper scored better than Term 3, she still has the lowest marks in class. Students who do very well will be given the option to study Higher Chinese Language in Primary 2. Those who are given the option but choose not to take up will be in Enrichment class. Given XX’s results, the probability of being given the option is low. However, the outcome will still depend on the overall result of the whole level. Those who are given the option to study Higher Chinese Language will receive the letter before school holidays.
 
From my observations, I would not advise XX to take up Higher Chinese Language even if she is given the option. She has lower self confidence compared to her classmates in CL class and is rather reliant on her classmates to provide her with answers. I worry that she may struggle in Higher Chinese Language class which is quite fast paced. It would do her good to build up her self-confidence first.
 
Utimately, the choice is still yours.
 
Thank you for your time.
 
Regards,
Mdm Soon
