From all the raging news online and in print, looks like we have to say goodbye to PPSMI. It was with heavy heart coupled with dismay when I know of it. This meant a lot to us as our children will not be exposed to Maths and Science in English (except at kindergarten level). There is a blogger mom who said that she will continue buying reference books in dual-language to teach her kids the terms in English. I think it's a superb idea. Next time there is a member day's sale at Popular, I'm going to sweep some of the revision books in dual-language. Should I be as crazy as to buy up including revision books for secondary school or just primary school? :p Hubs will kill me for the overkill.
Well the folks who think it's too hard to study Maths and Science in English, it's your loss. Continue with your closed-mindedness, and stay in your own tempurung. We will continue to give and pass down whatever knowledge we have to our children which the group will never be able to do. To look on the bright side, maybe those who cannot follow lessons in English might now stay in school longer and there will be less Mat Rempit after we abolish PPSMI. Scratch that, who are we kidding here? Those who won't study will not matter what is done. Those who are determined to study will make it through some how and some way.
