I am very unhappy abt my DD form teacher this yr. Worst thing, teaching maths n science - 2 impt subjects!
I heard the lesssons boring and worst thing, homework, worksheets done already never mark. How would the students know if they are right or wrong? how to prepare for exam?
files, workbooks for exam revision forgot to return till parents alert
given reasons: too busy , overlooked.
praying hard DD has a better one next yr ! -

I hope you did noticed the teacher's performance at least during mid year and not now which is too late. Not all are good to be frank. My experience, through daily monitoring of the kids' homework should be able to let you have some insight on the kid's performance. At least mine was like that. Never met a teacher who is not interested in teaching (at least) in my view. My kid came back with the same Maths mistake over and over again. So, its either she is not doing her job or my kid is dreaming but so many times? Of course I questioned my child. Anyway, my ultimate feel is that, she is just not keen on the kid's performance. I gave up, get him to refocus on his work and he went to straigt pass. Depend on others, might as well depends on ourselves (Chinese's saying lah).I am very unhappy abt my DD form teacher this yr.

Hahaa..... only a little better. 11.3%(34/300).
No lah. I don't have any grievance. But, I must admit a bit unhappy cuz emailed FT, no reply. Wrote a note, no acknowledge or what so ever.
FT from my colleague's DS school(popular school in Punggol) initiated email to communicate with the parents and regularly update them...

Corelation needs statistical tools w data but how to quantify teacher's performance across schools? Mayb moe can do that.
2nd round of gep has 2 general ability tests. These differentiate it from 1st academic round which nc did better than national's 10%. So what's e pt of comparing against other schools as the demographic of their intakes r not carbon copies? Schools can't pick n choose their students, so barring phase 2A whose alumni r \"related\" to e sch, the intakes depends on household demographics within 2km or less.
Can't help butsense that u seemed to hv some grievance against nc teachers. Perhaps u can share w us specifics? We can lend u our sympathetic ears. -

Already highlighted on the 1st PTM, before SA2 still like that. What to do?
just a matter of responsibility.
not a school that matters but the teachers. Same as tuition centre. -
Can't agree more..But, sometimes, need direction(a push) from the top oso.

But, I read at GEP thread that Chong Fu got 19 kids(12 boys + 7 girls) going GEP. :salute:
Nan Chiau got to buck up...

If the FT did not reply, it is a teacher problem, not school problem. I think all schools, top or not top, has good n not so good teachers. It is not a NC problem.Hahaa..... only a little better. 11.3%(34/300).

To me, GEP test is just a selection to pick out students suitable to take the program and it is based on result that the students took on the 2 days. And if GEP is a suitable gauge to measure school standard, PSLE is also an equally suitable gauge - based on a test taken on certain specific days.
What I am trying to say is - if it is a specific teacher problem, tackle the problem n bring up to higher authorities. Leave the school standard / performance out of the equation. -
Btw, any one know why NC never updated 2011 Achievement in their webbie. :?
Going to be end of 2012. -

Some practices need to be instilled in the culture, like any other organization.

what achievement are you referring to? if it is PSLE result, concerned parents who attended the principal talk would have known the result. If it is non-academic result, maybe you can try to call the school to find out.Btw, any one know why NC never updated 2011 Achievement in their webbie. :?

All organization has its own culture.
Individual’s expectation and perception is subjective.
Sometimes when certain things happen, it could be a one-off issue. And one-off issue does not represent the organization culture.
And if there are many similar issues, the next question is : is the issue feedback to higher management via proper channel. If no constructive feedback is given via proper channel, then do not expect change to happen.
