DD is 9, DS is 7.
Sorry how old is your DD and DS again?Funz:
DD has a holiday assignment from her school. The Singapore Conversation. She is suppose to write down her thoughts about what the education scene would be like in 2030 and she needs to interview us about what we want education to be like in 2030.
This is what DD came up with
School to start later
Shorter school hours
longer holidays
e-textbooks (no need to carry heavy bags, carry ipad enough)
more projects
yearly exams still necessary or else how to know how we are doing or earn awards
PE to allow learning of more physical sports like roller blading, rock climbing
All teachers to teach only 1 subject
Smaller class size
All schools to be from P1 to Sec 4.
1st major exam at Sec 4
These are some of the things DD came up with. When I asked DS he said, go to school 3 days, 4 days rest. That's all he came up with.
DS is 7 years old right?
The point I was surprised coming from DD was the one on exams. I would have thought she would like to see no exams. But with her experience, exam is the main measurement of their hardwork throughout the year. She cannot see how else she could get quantitative affirmation of the effort she has put in if there is no exams. -
Funz:
I will ask DD1 tonight though I doubt she will provide such a detailed answer like your DD :rotflmao:
DD is 9, DS is 7.
DD2 is a \"boy\" in a girl's body. Very playful and only remembers what she feels like remembering so I bet her answer will be hilarious as well. -

Hehe. DD came up with the 1st 3 points only and told me she has no idea how to go about it. She say her brain in hibernation. I had to tell her to do her mindmapping. And she went 'oh yah! that.' From there she came up with this list. And from this list she formulated her interview questions for me, DH and DS. Of course she got mostly ' I dun noe' from DS.

think it is common, my DDs likes to have mini tests to just inform me how well they did. though if the score is low, they will be sheepish about it
