LINUS and PBS

These were from The Star. There is just a few words on the PEMANDU website. Not that I understand LINUS yet, but now the MOE are planning for LINUS 2.0. How ironic. LINUS 2.0 has additional English monitoring other than the BM and Maths monitoring in the current LINUS.

As for PBS, it's still very abstract to me. My poor children who had to go through the experimentation from MOE. Terrible, they should have official communication via the school to parents to help us prepare the kids for LINUS (1.0, 2.0, 3.0 whatever..) and PBS.

Also on English language. They should bring back teaching of Maths and Science in English. The kids which do not take Maths and Science in English will not be able to go for assessment like ICAS. So sad that my kids will miss out on this. I'm all for Maths and Science in English. Otherwise, the concepts are really hard to grasp in higher education level. I'm not trying to belittle mother tongue for Maths and Science, but the benefits are truly valuable for those who go for higher education. This talk going around nowadays about adding English literature is laughable. Imagine, those who cannot even handle normal conversational English language, trying to jump into English literature. Cannot even crawl, trying to walk and even thinking of flying. Think they are geniuses? Even those who are good in English cannot comprehend English literature, what more those who are struggling (^_^)
