If you are the Education Minister...

It has been replaced with another system, but I see no difference with that.Originally posted by *=Optimus=*:I will abolished the school ranking system, this way there is no difference between RGS and SMSS

more on eq, more on the outside world.
discourage early relationships, discourage suicidal tendencies, discourage sex in schools, promote sexual education, and more.
they're concentrating too much on the iq though. -
parents... they are responsible for their child...
as for "activity logs" and all that.. sheesh!! that shows v clearly that 798.. is a product and have become moulded by the education system where everything must be quantified.. and you'd be dead wrong...
you are now one with the system.. and with your posts, you will become part of the problem of the education systemOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Hmm... not sure. An environment can affect a child, so if a child goes bad because of influences from other peers, who will be responsible? -
actually NS men are wearing uniform, office needs to wear formal attire.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:What about university students?
Uniforms for poly students... sounds good. But nobody seems to be wearing uniforms properly.
if one cannot take reflection of his personal grooming, how can one let others think you r mature enough? -
The teachers are not having an easy time also it seems, bogged down by a lot of admin issues and also how to incorporate games and stuff into their lessons...of cos interactive activities make lessons fun, but I dun see the need to have them in almost every lesson...worst is if u dun include, will get bad review for your performanceOriginally posted by the Bear:i think the stupidity of the schools these days is that they spend their efforts on trivial crap like long hair, and all that nonsense when they should be concentrating on EDUCATION..
all the idiot schools are pushing and advertising "we won the People De-eloper Award" "we won the Service Quantity Award" "we won the Braindead Students Award"
who the fuck cares about these bloody awards??
the school is there to educate the students... the students are not a means to win awards!
EDUCATE!!!
Sumtimes I dunno if applying to MOE is a wise choice -
it certainly helps in some way.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Will this make Singapore a better place? We can teach a person, but whether they accept, it's another issue.
Also, given how protective parents are today, does the threat of barring from examinations threaten them?
I don't think it will solve problems, it serves to create more.
if u do not examine your kids closely, what make u think they r eligible to attend school? -
eliminate entry system based on scores?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:It has been replaced with another system, but I see no difference with that. -
so what is your solution, mr bear? how should the parents play a part in educating n watching closely their kids since they r busy wif their work?Originally posted by the Bear:parents... they are responsible for their child...

sometimes even when you examine your kids closely, doesn't mean he is really what you see. Depends on what you mean by examining. Kids can put on a mask as well, so parents can be fooled into thinking that their kids are well-mannered and obedient just because they are that way at home, but actually they wreck havoc when they are at school.Originally posted by 798:it certainly helps in some way.

i do know dat there r social ill occur when a group form together. -
The answer is as long as an compo leh..Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Why?
-
parents too busy to really take the time to build a relationship with their children. If parents take some time to really understand what their teenagers are going through, it will be easier for the kids to drop the mask.Originally posted by 798:well, it takes both hands to clap. if ur kids are ready such a character, who to blame?

Depends la, sometimes being in a group doesn't necessarily mean social ills will form. Depending on what type of people you mix around wif. -
do u ever heard such a thing called, "Two of the products do not cause a problem,but when u mix them, problem starts to arise."Originally posted by rainee:parents too busy to really take the time to build a relationship with their children.

n ask yourself in ur heart, as a teacher, do u really monitor your students movement outside school work? or r u just getting paid just becos u think as long as ur students score well,ur job is done! -
Depends, if they havent been attending their lessons for a while, I will call them up, if they still never come, I will start calling their parents to ask what is going on...Originally posted by 798:do u ever heard such a thing called, "Two of the products do not cause a problem,but when u mix them, problem starts to arise."

But if they have been attending lessons on a regular basis, then I don't see why I should monitor their movement outside of school. I will ask them how they are doing and all that, but I won't go to the extent of monitoring them outside of my jobscope if everything is going well. That's the job of their parents, and anyway I only spend a few hours with them everyday in a week. -
from your statement, how can u be ensure dat ur students do not put on a mask?Originally posted by rainee:Depends, if they havent been attending their lessons for a while, I will call them up, if they still never come, I will start calling their parents to ask what is going on...

these day, i can see dat even teachers aint passionate as before, even teachers n parents throw blames on one another dat it is part of their responsiblities.
no wonder our education nvr exceed. -
depends on what you think is passionate. I don't think a passionate teacher needs to resort to tailing the students home and monitoring his action 24/7. Even parents don't do that.Originally posted by 798:from your statement, how can u be ensure dat ur students do not put on a mask?

I will build a relationship with my students, and I will be concerned if they never showed up in my class for a long time, or if their studies are going down the drain, things that have to do with their education. If something is happening at their home that causes them to not do well in their studies, and they trust me enough to come and tell me about it, I will try to find a solution to it, even if it means I have to call the parents. But that's the extent I can go to solve the problem for them, not that I don't want to do more, but simply because I am a TEACHER and not their parents. -
I wouldn't scrap uniform groups. They are there to instill discipline and to help improve physical fitness.Originally posted by :Secondly, I will scrap all uniform-group ccas as I doubt students learnt anything from joining them. Instead, all secondary school students will be required to perform community service as by volunteering at various charities and social services centres. Fund collection as by selling flags will not be deemed as community service. Community service will only be considered as such if it is performed by students on site and hands-on at the social service centres.
This way, tudents actually see for themselves social issues and learn to care genuinely about the society they live in. This will more effectively inculcate in students care and concernfor the less fortunate.
I could go on and on but the bottom-line is I ain't a student no more and, more importantly, ain't the Education Minister and so ain't no business of mine.....!
The community services does sound great, but as per usual, does forcing of such activities really make them show more concern for the fortunate? It has to be sincere...
Knowing the social issues is one thing... wanting to help is another. -
1. Parents aren't there to ensure that their kids have really done what they are supposed to do. As I've said, given the protective nature of parents, this activity log will only make parents lie about their child activities.Originally posted by 798:yeah! dat's the reason why i feel sch n parents should work together for the child's progress. sch have play a part on academic, while parents maybe should do their homework too by looking out for their child after school.
some of the things which can be implement:
- forcing n making the students to own an "Activity LogBook" to let parents sign everyday of their lifestyle.
This can also help the school n parents to understand what the students are doing and building up their communication n better understanding with one another.
- Parents' evaluation feedback on their child by submitting Bi-monthly report
This can help the sch to understand what are the parents' view n understand of their kids.
- School to report on the students academic n movement every monthly.
This helps the parents to understand the child well.
2. Plausible, if only they spend more time with their kids. -
I don't really agree with activity logs unless both sides are just equally honest.Originally posted by the Bear:parents... they are responsible for their child...

RP uses this system, so I know pretty well what goes on behind the scenes. -
Does personal grooming reflect one's maturity?Originally posted by 798:actually NS men are wearing uniform, office needs to wear formal attire.
if one cannot take reflection of his personal grooming, how can one let others think you r mature enough?
Some don't dress properly, and they are far more mature than some of us here. Some dressing are great, but it doesn't really his own maturity. -
Yeah...Originally posted by rainee:The teachers are not having an easy time also it seems, bogged down by a lot of admin issues and also how to incorporate games and stuff into their lessons...of cos interactive activities make lessons fun, but I dun see the need to have them in almost every lesson...worst is if u dun include, will get bad review for your performance

And apparently, it seems to be some instructions down from the top (aka MOE).
Since my secondary school days, lots of equipment has been bought, upgraded for interactive learning. -
The keyword is still protective parents...Originally posted by 798:it certainly helps in some way.
if u do not examine your kids closely, what make u think they r eligible to attend school?
Now, there are people who resort to moving house just to be living within X km of the school.
If such logs are to be used, I wonder how honest will they be when writing or signing a log for their child? -
Write out lor... good to read about it. Education should be equal, I don't see the rationale behind your problem.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:The answer is as long as an compo leh.. -
dat is how it will reflect on the role as a parents, if the parents are dishonest themselves, how r they going to upbring the child themselves?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:The keyword is still protective parents...

any tom, dick or harry will not be convinced wif a salesman if he dress until like beggarchief to sell his product.
