Teach Less, Learn More
-
The only way to kill this pattern (tuitioning) is to DO NOT follow the herd. Let your child learns at his or her own pace. But do it at own risk. Because others still will follow herd.
Sickening right. -

Come on Janet, MOE made a mistake, but it's a spelling mistake.
I have to send my son for creative writing class bcos his teacher doesn't teach them to write. Enrichment centres enjoy good biz bcos of the poor teaching system in schools.
When I first saw 'teach less, learn more'...I felt that something was just not right.
It's actually supposed to be 'Teach less, earn more'.
The schs teach less .......... And the tuition ctrs earn more. Get it, get it! :lol: -
I’m also quite upset about the compo. writing. I cannot understand the marks in P5/P6 became 40 marks and yet the exposure is very little.
As of today, the following is the output of attending external class vs school:
CL compo, external is 14 and school is 5.
EL Compo. external is 15 and school is 5

I don't quite get you. You mean the same compo marked by external is 14 and by school is 5? Or you mean that before external classes your child scored 5 and after, she scored 14?I’m also quite upset about the compo. writing. I cannot understand the marks in P5/P6 became 40 marks and yet the exposure is very little.

Basically, it's 'teachers coach, parents teach'. Son comes back with math hw everyday and I see hubby going through the sums with him.Actually, to teach such mental SKILLS. Small group coaching is essential.
That is what is happening now when parents coach kids after school or engage tutors to do so. School does the lecture. Parents and tutors do the skills practice after school. If that is so, they should shorten school hours so we have more time for practice.
Hours spent in school are long, but not much constructive work is done. No proper teaching of compo and science, why do kids need to attend school? -

Mine only did 4. Worse, the compo comes back without marks for English... And without comments for Chinese. He doesn't know what he did wrong or can improve. -
Hi parents,
The compo class I signed my son for should have 1 lesson of brain- storming, and actual writing on the next. Sure hope he will learn how to write interesting compos with more catchy phrases. I’ve given up in this area.
His teacher always tell class to have plot, but never go into details how to draw up one. Isn’t there a lesson dedicated to write compo?
