Local school teacher and mother: Singapore education system is a failure

The education system has got a number of fundamental methods wrong at Pr level causing students to be disheartened by failure, chasing away good teachers, recruiting scholar principals who knows next to nothing about the process of learning.

The use of so-called "model" to solve math problem is absurd. Once I read an article that such method is moving backwards by a few thousand years as it relies on basic logical thinking which man depended on until algebra was invented as a problem solving tool by the Egyptian.

For science, they failed to instill the understand of strict and rigorous requirement for proofs and definitions but set difficult question with students not knowing why the answers must be structured in a certain way to be correct.

In English, they used thematic approach and produced generations who doesn't know basic grammars.

For Chinese, they think there is an easy way out but unfortunately dictation and spelling is the only way to learn the language.

Ya, it the system that has failed. My colleague is a Poly grad, doesn't even know what ganja is! So much for his fucking education.

Cheers!

I know a sinkie who didn't know what a MILF is and didn't know how to find the answer either.
