I already have 2. But if I'm getting a mil for each additional kid, I would confirm/guarantee/chop to try and form my own football team. That's $9m kaching :rotflmao:

At first, I read it as \"if I get a mother-in-law for each additional kid, I would confirm/guarantee/chop to try and form my own football team\"

RE: Singapore Tops Biggest Global Education Rankings
optimistforum:
I will never slag off your education to anyone. Your education system and parents who really value education are to be lauded. Parents in England take education for granted, as so much is spent on it in our taxes.RRMummy:
[quote=\"Funz\"]But cannot blame Optimistforum for drawing that conclusion when we have people who keep saying teachers don't teach, cannot do without tuition, tutors better than school teachers, etc.
Funz ah, yah cannot blame and not out to blame but I think it important enough that he gets the correct idea. Imagine him going around amongst his group of friends n acquaintance s telling that Singapore education is all inflated with bad books and bad teachers! :yikes:
BTW, the ranking is meaningless to me. :celebrate:
That being said, I would take an England education over a Singaporean one, as ours is geared to 21st century way of life. Don't know much about your new curricula, but your previous ones were no different than that taught in England until the mid 60s. We just do too much in too short a time. But please, if you get the chance just listen to children from England in how they attempt things, and think out of the box. We have moved way beyond textbook teaching to inculcating free thinking and empowerment.[/quote]Hmm.. Curious.. When you said new England education, is it the same curricula in your government and private schools? -

Rrmummy read the last sentences of my previous post
I'm now here to confirm that my girls have great teachers. Really hardworking and good. For all of you who also had or are having good teachers, please step out. -

RE: Singapore Tops Biggest Global Education Rankings
optimistforum:
You said Singaporeans said tuition give better results. Not a wrong statement. Like I said, these children need more personalised attention in their weak subjects. With tuition, this is what they get and hence better results. But it is entirely different when u say our school and books are blehAutumnBronze
I have followed this forum for over eight years, I have also spoken with many parents and tutors in SG. a couple of teachers, too. They unanimously stated that it is tutors who have helped provide better results. But I have not heard the same said about your schools. Suffice to say I think your culture is wonderful in seeing a quality education as a driving force for social mobility and aspiration
What you also do not and will not understand is the mindset and expectations of parents here. -
RE: Singapore Tops Biggest Global Education Rankings
optimistforum:
Optimistforum, again, this is unfair.
Actually, I am a big buyer of SG books. I have spent many thousands of SG Dollars in this pursuit. 95 per cent of the books and tests were not useful. Eph complete practice books and Challenging Maths are the only redeeming tomes.hquek:
Well if SG education is propped up only by tuition, I wonder why SG test papers and textbooks are being sought after overseas.
I do know of kids who did exceptionally well in their academics - without tuition, and in SG.
I have reverted to UK books. Our end of Primary Syllabus equals your S2 syllabus. Education in the West has moved onwards towards creativity and problem solving. It has moved beyond academic literacy and numeracy towards functional literacy and numeracy
It is \"not useful\" to you as you are looking out for books that provide practises to fit the kind of exams you have in the UK.
How could you use your benchmark to judge books which are published to serve Singapore? :scratchhead: -
RE: Singapore Tops Biggest Global Education Rankings
optimistforum:
No, but your tutors are doing a sterling job.[/quote]Optimistforum, kids are sent for tuition for various reasons. Some of which includes only their weaker subjects - subjects which they need small group or even 1-to-1 attention. This can only be done either by parents or by a tutor.
This statement is unfair.RRMummy:
[quote=\"optimistforum\"]Janet88, surely the SG populace should be petitioning the MOE to drive up standards in schools. It is out of hours tutors that are inflating school results not your teachers. Would it not be better to emulate good practices from tutoring agencies and embed that, as a natural way of working, in your schools.
It is possible that foreigners will realise that they need to resort to out of hours tutors. Not sure they would go to SG for education, if they had to find that they had to fork out on lasting and expensive out of school tutors.
It sounds as if our teachers are not doing their job, which is not true!
You are your kids' tutor, are you not? Well, not all parents can, and therefore the external help. Like what hquek mentioned, there are also those who are capable to manage without this extra help.
It is very different picture when you are implying that teachers are not doing their job. You will not understand unless you are going through our system. -
