Chan Chun Sing on how some black sheep in the tuition industry can hurt the entire education sector

[blueweed]

so does govt sector with corrupt officals. corrupted cops. bad moe teachers that prey on children. which all lives off the system.
and he comes out swinging at tuition center? whats his ***** problem? horse dont know face long.

 

[zuoom]

It's a billion dollar industry.

Tuition is big business.
Even way back in the 1970's.
In a school where most students come from rich families, this affects the children.
Some students have more than 1 tuition teacher.
Those from poor families in the school find it hard to compete.
Why?
Because the school teachers know most of the students have tuition teachers.
Thus the school teachers anyhow teach.
Slacken in their teaching duty.

And recently when I viewed a video by 1M65, Mr Loo said he employed tuition teachers for his children at the Junior College/Pre-University level.
I find this shocking.

Is the tuition centers under his care ?
If not, why is he commenting on how they run the show ?

 

[sPacEmAn_sPiFf]

Baa baa black sheep, have u any cotton (not wool .... lol) ?

CCS is definitely right that there are tuition centers that choose their students.

Most parents will send their kids for tuition will know which tuition center he is referring to.

I would however like to point out that tuition centers on a whole do value add to students ability to gain better grades, more so that what schools can do if the kid is not in the better classes in school.

But schools place the students with similar learning profiles together... No good? Or mix like some sec schs what subjects base learning...?

 

[Hyruga]

Actually, from what I know, students won't be asked to go/rejected even if their results are poor. Tuition industry is competitive so they will keep every student they have.

But students may be separated into different classes based on ability.

 

[hachi]

Good schools choose good students.

So what's wrong with tuition centres doing the same?

Only beyond primary schools...

 

[hachi]

Toxic tutor industry will cultivate fear, shame, anxiety, stress, and tension……spreads like a real virus

Not parents? Mahahahha

 

[Lchlch]

this is like in workplace, one colleagues super talented, outstanding, tiptop performance, but he is the black sheep that can hurt the entire department.
Can?

The issue is that tuition centres are money making entities.

Tuition centres claim that their methods are helping students with their school work and scores, which is alright if they just accept anyone and if almost everyone's grades improve

But when tuition centress accept only the best and claim that their methods produce the 90RP students, better than what MOE schools can do, something is wrong.

Amongst MOE schools, and it is not something unspoken ie it is widely mentioned, the good schools are only good because it accepts the best students. Other schools that do not accept the best students, the value add is easily observed here.

like jose mourinho. can only perform well when coaching top clubs and players but cmi when coaching mid table teams like roma, fenerbache, manure. actually he is just an average yaya papaya coach who relies on the players to bring him fame.

tuition centres all behave like jose mourinho. want the best students to bring glory for the tuition centre.

The best primary schools at best produces 30ish % IP students?
Like my niece was in a very good pri sch in the West. But she wasn't happy cos her peers were too strong.

Now at sec 3 G2, she is getting top 10% every year.

Like i said... Every sch is a good sch.. No doubt we all like better schools. And schools cannot choose their students. In this case... Tuition centers can... They are not wrong as well... They price it like it is previlege to be inside there?

his statement... "i am perturbed when i see advertisement if you consume this service/product, you will get 4A1s blah blah"

hmmm... that's how advertisement works across industries.

they will pump out different slogans for different advertisments..
if you drive a car , it might be Speed Meets luxury.. elevate your life etc etc
if you buy a massage chair, it might be to take care of your elderly parents needs and show your love. etc etc.

what's PAP advertising message or slogan or product tagline? ..hehe

-> it will be very sad if the kid score 7A1s and still don't know what makes her/him special.
it will be very sad if you score 7F9s and still dont know what makes you special. damn daft leh.
7A1s , you continue on that path is scholar or even honors and get good job loh. then you find your footing and what makes you special (uh.. harlow.. looking at your directly in the mirror everyday loh.. .YOU ARE SPECIAL coz you manage to score 7A1s, get into good jc and good unis and come out honors student or even scholar or dean list)

-> near end of speech, we need diversity of strength to help singapore
very rich coming from a system where scholars and paper generals are helming a lot of the system.

 

[hachi]

They can produce AL4 students which means their methods are good. If you child cannot make it, it is not their issue... Right... Since they got results to prove.

 

[The_King]
