snggy:

My son in P2 now. I agree that CFS change their teachers quite often. I wonder if that happens in other school also. Their class had changes of form teacher 4 times in a year and I think they are quite badly affected by this. Cos they cannot really learn well in the subject but spending more time getting to know the teacher's method of teaching. Haiz....


This year, finally.....things got better. He has a great form teacher and a great chinese teacher. Pray hard that it stays so....

Hi there,

I have enrolled my hb and myself for the PV duty from now till next june. Quite Worried after having to see so many displease over teachers issue in the school.. Doesnt anyone make it known to the principle abt this changes tat can affect the students greatly? I remember he even told us during briefing that he hopes that any students issue shld be handled by the teachers directly instead of going up to higher authority, i hope this is not one of those cases...... :idea:

afraid so. we have highlighted to the vice principal previously (can’t remember which year) and her reply was that singapore as a whole is short of teachers hence they had to make do with relief teachers.


hopefully your pv experience would be able to shed more light on the situation from the inside

Chongfu and northland are two of the better school in Yishun plus it has strong Chinese culture hence the popularity. Let me share my experience. I have a boy in p4 and a girl in p2. There are no streaming in their p1 and p2. From p3 onwards, they will put the top pupils in the two to three classes. The students will know which is the top class and at p4, one class of about 40 will be called the bicep class. Like all schools, they will focus on their top few classes. As for change of teachers, it happens everywhere. Chongfu emphasize on lots of parents involvement. In other words, parents
must teach your child.basically you learn and teach your kids. Model
drawing, heuristic etc. Let's be fair, teachers not only teach one class,they also has projects, prepare iso , quality award etc.

hi


I have heard about how CFS teaches Higher Chinese to P1 pupils and pupils are asked to drop the subject and convert to CL2 Chinese once they hit P5 if they are struggling with the language.

I would like to ask what is the level of difficulty in the P1 chinese curriculum in CFS and what needs to/can be done to prep our kids to adjust to their P1 standard?
