In my opinion, express better. Any reason why she wants to go XYZ Sch?

Limlim : So sorry that I started the teasing by asking an innocent question....


Anyway, I love working with young children but definitely don't covet a teaching job in school. Imagine yourself being asked to teach all subjects(including those that you are not strong on ones.) On too of that, CCA commitments, school camp, inter school competitions, form teachers. Handling 30 students with 30 pairs of parents.... Also not forgetting marking 30 sets of homework after the students have went home....

So to trade in for all these, maybe the holidays are there as a bait for future teachers to join the force.

But i do hear that teachers have to go to school during the 1st 2 weeks of holidays for meetings, training and whatever. And for those who teach in upp level like P3 dun have just 30 right? My gal has 40 in her class.

Being a teacher is really not easy IMHO.

Hi, I would like to check with parents with kids currently in P3. As there are CA and SA exams, do they still have topical tests on a weekly basis that contributes to the overall weightage? Means these tests are not just for practice but are counted towards total weightage for the year. Thanks.

For P3, there is no CA exams. They will only have SA exams nearer to the end of the semester. Which is around Oct, end of semester 2.

There are no more topical tests on a weekly basis that adds to the overall weightage. Haven't been hearing schools doing that already.

Perhaps u can email her teachers? I know that the teachers are still going to school in the 1st week of holiday.

I guess nowadays the kids are in the 21st century. What we have went thru when we are students in the past cant be used on them. Times have changed. Diff learning environment.

The timetable has CME and FTGP but you see the above, there is no mention at all

The inconsistency already happened in past yrs. I wonder who actually supported the teachers in all this admin work. Simple things like timetable should be at least standardised. Sigh.

Going forward, you will be used to a lot of funny things. If the teacher teaches few subjects, your kids may be asked to bring Maths Textbook on a day without Maths and use it during Arts lessons Cheers![/quote]I asked ard n found out that trs gave differently cos they want to give their pupils a more personalised n customised timetable

DS' science/art teacher had just briefed them on this.

It happened when time is running out and teacher become desperate, so sacrifice \"non-essential\" subjects for the core ones. It usually happens towards end of term. I heard some school sacrifice most PE lessons to teach core subjs.[/quote]Think this yr may not be the same. As MOE has accepted PERI recommendations, I heard that non core subjects are taught by trained trs in that subject area for example art.
