All tuition centres should be MOE accreditated and supervised ...

It's also living proof that schools are lousy because it's not good enough to provide sufficient support to students and students need to seek help outside..

Schools are not lousy. They r constrained by time, extra duties, and class size. Maybe moe can implement extra lessons for all in smaller class capacity then kids no need tuition liao

Schools ALREADY have extra supplementary classes in smaller capacity for weaker students.

Made GEP round 1. Did not pass round 2. Ability vs desire are 2 different things I suppose. She no GEP ability. But she has desire. I shouldnt stop it, right? She wants in-depth knowledge. Not new Sec 3 topics. I tried Assessment books. Waste time. No one to explain her. Same thing. Ask me. I jitao say I dunno. You may call it "easy way out". I just do my duty as her dad and provide the tuition. Now she just finished JC2. My job is almost done.

I don think ur intentions are bad. But most parents are not like u. A lot smack of kiasu-sim and the simple minded wrong concept that good academic results = huge success later in life.

The question isn't that hard nor really require algebra lah. By P2 already know order of operations mah. Just use Eqn 1 - Eqn 2 can liao.

Donkey + Dog - (Dog - Donkey) = 65 - 5
Donkey + Dog - Dog + Donkey = 60
2Donkey = 60
Donkey = 30
Dog = 35

I don know what methods they teach in school now but if I have to explain it to my kid, it will be,

difference between donkey and dog is 5. Just take 65 - 5 then divide by 2 to get the smaller number. Add 5 to smaller number to get the other number. It’s logic, not some complicated maths

Do what west Taiwan did la.. ban all tuition centres.. tuition centres are the best testament that not all schools are good schools...

Yes! Ban all tuition centers.... and force all those excellent teachers go back to teaching in MOE....

no more brain drain..

Ya. but not all know how to motivate your kids. So if school and ownself cannot, can try hire outside forces. But sometimes is not teacher problem. Is kid ownself have underlying issue. this one must talk w the kid themselves but dont criticize them or talk them down or say when I was your age bs. Might be a mental issue.

Concur this as well... My elder one very motivated... Today first day of school... We were the few reached HCI, he was so excited that he woke at 3 am cannot sleep... He alr flip his books and find it interesting..

At P4, the school alr class them based on learning abilities... Some parents liked it... Some don't... The pace at high level is really crazy..

sadly school over complicated algebra not in a good way. a lot of my peers back den can do the dog + dog question but fluke the absolute fk when it turns into a+a. what most teacher lack is to point out the connection between dog and a. it might be common knowledge to them but for kids it might not be something they notice.

[REACTION75]

While the idea of having all tuition centers accredited and supervised by the Ministry of Education (MOE) may seem like a plausible solution to ensure quality education, there are several points to consider, and one may disagree with this statement.

1. Diversity of Educational Approaches: Not all students learn the same way or have the same educational needs. Some students may require alternative teaching methods or specialized attention that may not be provided in traditional school settings. Allowing a variety of tuition centers, each with its own teaching approach, can cater to the diverse needs of students and provide them with personalized support.
2. Flexibility and Innovation: Accreditation and strict supervision may stifle innovation and creativity in the education sector. By allowing a range of tuition centers to operate independently, it encourages competition, which can drive innovation in teaching methods and materials. Different tuition centers may experiment with new techniques or curriculum approaches that could potentially benefit students.
