Schools with caring/dedicated teachers
Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2012 4:57 pm
My ds is P5 & in a popular boys school now. Because of the school's brand name & consistently good PSLE results, the teachers in the school tend to be very result oriented.
My ds has told me many times that he does not enjoyed school cos his teachers will scold the class everyday for a variety of reasons. As a parent, there are some things that the teachers asked their students to do which I also don't agree with - They are made to rewrite the whole compo after teacher has marked it (to me, this is complete waste of time, considering they have a lot of homework to do everyday). When someone in the class who's expected to score well in the assessments but didn't, that person will get scolding from teacher too. For chinese orals, they are made to memorise long passages, word for word (even ds chinese tutor agree that this is ridiculous). It is little wonder why my ds dislikes his school. However, it's too late to transfer him out of the school now.
Since he will be going to a secondary school soon, I'd like to have gather feedback from parents about the teachers in the secondary schools that your children are attending. I think ds thrive better in a caring school environment & this will boost his interest in learning.
