G-Clef:
[quote][/quote]My ger's whole cohort ranking is between 90 to 100, and she is posted to 3 Respectful. She scored well for her maths too...I have been following this forum for the past 2 years ever since my girl started in Chongfu School. Like most parents, I would like to know how Chongfu School ranks its students.
My girl's whole cohort ranking is between 90 to 100, and she is posted to 3 Gracious. She scored well for her Maths. So my guess is that the school ranks all students in accordance to their ranking. 1st 40 to Sincere, next 40 to Achieving, next 40 or less to Gracious, next 40 to another class and so on.
Hope this is helpful to determine how the school ranks students. -
ok seems like for next yr P3, the "mixed abilities" classes are indeed mixed with no special allocation that we can identify.
How about 3 Sincere or 3 Achieving? Can any parent come forward and say 3 Sincere is not odd position or 3 Achieving is not even position (exception = Tracy mummy’s boy), thanks -
For those mummies whose kids r gg to P3 next year. I am not sure whether u hv notice the difference in the booklist at the sch bookstore website. There is Primary 3 and Primary 3 (S). It seems like the 2 best classes r using books for Primary 3 (S) while the rest of the pupils will be using Primary 3.
And the difference between these 2 booklists is Onsponge Conquer Problem Sums is a compulsary textbook for Primary 3 (S) and the teacher will be teaching these pupils using the book. 4 to 5 questions similar to Onsponge standard will be asked in the exam paper for the whole P3 cohort. A pupil who is not in the best class will be in the losing end as they are not taught in class at all.
What comment do you have for such unfairness in the teaching level between best and non best classes? -
My kid is gonna be in 3 Gracious and have 3(S) booklist. From what I see in this forum. It’s not the 2 best class. They may be stream based on subjects they r strong in.
I know from my friend (living in Tampines), her son’s school (Not Chongfu) are stream based on subjects, so the teachers can concentrate a bit more on their weaker subjects. -

Actually the fact that streaming took place at this early stage is in a way already unfair. So what do you expect them to do after the streaming? To go about teaching exactly the same way for all classes (to be fair) or to teach differently for differently classes? Surely things will be different for each class after the streaming. Even the allocation of senior teachers to the better classes is already unfair.For those mummies whose kids r gg to P3 next year.

As to the 4-5 questions in the exam papers....hmm seems quite unfair but how sure are you that this is happening? -

So the 3(S) book list is not restricted to the 2 best classes?My kid is gonna be in 3 Gracious and have 3(S) booklist. From what I see in this forum. It's not the 2 best class. They may be stream based on subjects they r strong in.

I brought this up to my colleagues, they say as long as exams are not set based on the concepts taught in the extra book then its fine that the top classes are taught "beyond the syllabus"
-
No, I think it is still restricted to the 2 best classes. The Onsponge book appears in both book lists except that it is an optional item in the P3 book list as compared to compulsory item in P3S book list.
Well guess those who are not in the top 2 classes will have to purchase the book and do it on our own. And I agree that they do test such challenging questions in exams. It is unfair but we cannot do much. -

It is happening... There are indeed challenging questions being asked in exam papers like what BLLL has mentioned.
For those pupils who are not using the 3(S) booklist have to find their own way to grasp the concept being taught in the Onsponge book. Otherwise, they won't be able to catch up and close up the difference in the learning level to excel in the subject.
