julongmum:knowledge321:I have heard of secondary school express stream start the sec 1 studentswith pure sciences like pure biology, pure chemistry and pure physics. Is there any secondary school that start the sec 1 students with additional maths?dd's time-table shows bio, chemistry and physics lessons, but there is no respective textbooks purchased on these subjects, merely the general science, so i am puzzling???this has been a common practice in many schools for a few years for lower sec science. Basically, when it's physics topics, a physics teacher will be teaching. Same goes for chem and bio. This is because a physics teacher might struggle when it comes to bio topics as it is not something he is familiar with.Such problems happen in tuition too. I encountered a parent who chose a tutor that can teach her son both science and math. However, that tutor is only good at bio. So chem and phy topics he asked the kid to study himself. The tutor can't teach math properly so in the end, he only managed a pass for science and math for Sec 2 SA2. However, it's cheap for the parent because tutor can do 2 subjects. But she regretted ever since.
