2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

It is better and fairer to have tougher papers. In an easy paper, a simple careless mistake becomes very costly when everyone else is doing equally well. And when too many people do well in an easy exam where there is moderation to fit a normal distribution, the moderation becomes very arbitrary.

Agree with you. Too easy is not a good sign.

Mummy so kiasu,

Son didn't tell me whether he asked another student...neither do I bother. As long as he asked what tutor is teaching IS wrong. He has absolutely no right to do that. :nunchuk:

Teachers (fine, maybe not all) are certainly having a good time.

Dump past year exam papers on the kids...that's it? That's called teaching? P6, PSLE :slapshead: Better still, ask students what their tutors teach. I reminded my son time and again, if any of his teachers want to know about tutors, EMAIL ME.

Yes! I would tell my children that if T asks anything regarding their tuition / enrichment, they can e-mail or call mummy on the hp directly

My parents were disgusted when son said T asked him what method Math tutor used to teach...not just once. He had the cheek to ask :mad:
Hubby told son furiously, 'If any of your teachers ask you this again, tell them to email or call your mother. She will handle it'. He sure is good at taiji.

Does that mean his/ her teaching method ineffective ? Hmm ... Just thinking loud here. :scratchhead:

[BeContented]

Please help me understand :?


Why is it so unacceptable for teachers to ask what method did the tutors use? I can understand the 'anger' if teachers ask for & plagiarize the tutor's notes, but to learn & understand another 'new' method, why not??
The world is so big, there are sooooo many things to learn in such a short time. Unless the T is doing it too often, but if occasionally the T finds something good & keen to learn more, imo it's a good thing isn't it? Better than those T who are not interested to find out/accept better methods.
