      It all depends on what type of teacher the child faces each year…meet those teachers who can teach, results sure improve.

        That's for sure...if the child gets teachers who go all the way, tuition is optional.

          I agree 101% to this.

          DS had a really terrible Math teacher at P4. One who couldn't teach, I mean really couldn't teach. DS belongs to the group where you must teach first, he understands, able to apply and will then be able to do. At term 3, there was a change of teacher. His SA2 Math result shot up. At P5 and P6, he was very fortunate to have a good Math teacher and his results were consistently good.

          DD has a Math teacher who will not teach first. She will make the students discuss first, go up to present to the class and from there, she will teach what is not being understood. BTW, DD is just P3. :scared:

          Such method will only work well with kids with tutors who have taught the kids ahead of the teachers. What about those who do not have tutors?

          Then she has a MT teacher who is concerned with grades and getting her kids to the best class in school.

          This is my opinion, I find the way some teachers go about with their job, completely kills the joy of learning :sad:

            Different kids have different learning abilities. The advance ones usually will try on their own first confidently. Teach less learn more, MOE vision.

              Throughout the 6 years of primary school, my son had been blessed with exceptionally wonderful Chinese teachers.

                Haha…isn’t this what some people say is lacking in mainstream classrooms, the “GEP style” of teaching? i.e . learning by discussion, discovery and exploration? Different types of students respond and benefit differently to different teaching methodology. There’s no one-size-fit-all way of teaching.
