Hi mummies, what is MA? Is it a monthly assessment for P1 & P2 as there is no examination?
During the orientation on Fri, there was some hoo haa among the parents regarding the allocation of classes vs teachers. It started off when P introduced the class teachers and a \"sharp\" daddy pointed out that Class 1L has special treatment because both assistant level masters (English and chinese) are teaching this class. Is this due to there are some \"so-and-so\" son/daughter in this class? :yikes: I agree it would be fairer to have one of them taking one of the other 11 classes instead. Level masters, as we know, are usually the more experienced and desirable teachers to have. Why put the 2 of them in the same class? :skeptical:
Anyway, I am more concern that some teachers in the school does not speak good English. I am not sure if this is due to PCPS is a SAP school and is more chinese focused? I was quite surprised because my DS's Kindergarten teachers do not speak like this. I really hope they are Maths / Art & Craft or PE teachers and not English teachers.
OMG! I mean this is not the school's fault but MOE - for the failure to recruit the right teachers and give them them the right training. Guess this problem is likely to be across most schools, not just PCPS! -
do you see any big shot minister children (son / daughter ) placed inside P1 class 1L, on that orientation day ? That’s why put 2 heavy weight English / Chinese teachers there to teach ?

Hi Precious2.lee
MA = Modular Assessment - they are like small tests, conducted 4 times a year. Duration of the tests is 1 hour.
There is also another one called AA = Alternative Assessment : for Oral / Show & Tell / Listening Comprehension, also conducted few times a year.
Maths also have AA, basically to test them if they understand certain topics eg length, $ concepts.
Hmm... i also encountered my DS's EL teacher writing some comments (on my DS's compo) that was grammatically wrong...
With the shortage of teachers in the industry, I am afraid we might not be able to expect much..even fr a SAP school.
Sometimes its really luck to meet a good/passionate teacher.
I also can only hope my DS's teacher next year will be a better one..

Hi Mummies,
My dd is in 1K. I also discovered that the form teacher’s English is heavily accented with the chinese- singlish tone. I was very concern when the teacher did a story telling with the class. One child spoke well and with the correct pronunciation of a particular word… She echoed the same word with the wrong pronunciation. I was quite shocked because if she is with the kids everyday for so many hrs, I believe the kids will pick after her. Only solution is to constantly remind them for now…
