I don't.

its where teachers charge you exhorbitantly

if they delivered their classes well in school we won't need tution.

It is not only Chinese ed students. SK students are even worse.

I think it is one of the reasons why some parents are going to private or international school. Some who can't afford it will still try to send to those shoplot learning centers.

That is the failure of our education system when even those shoplot learning centers are better choice than government funded schools including SRJKC.

its up to parent mindset and pocket.

at international school u will see international people too. mindset local people and international people are not same.

Due to crazy competition to be the very best!

Even my time my teachers admitted they put close to 0 effort at school so can save energy for their tuition classes since they can make so much more money there. Excuse is the students hopeless and won't listen.

Quite disgusting imo but our system created this issue and keeps encouraging it.

its very high risk.

I heard one couple was doing very well, sending both kids to international

then MCO came, one of the parent lost his job, then they are now struggling to put their kids through school

I heard of cases some teachers were doing so well in their tution biz, that they can send their kids overseas to the best universities.

also their houses are BIG

Not surprising. Especially those open chain of tuition centers while still being a school teacher.

That is the risk of taking them out. That is why most will still stay in SRJKC for primary school

She was helping him when he was still in SRK.

Symptoms. Lack of concentration. Difficulty forming concepts, slow language uptake, irritability. These are just symptoms, not necessarily clinical ADHD...but they can also develop into more serious symptoms.

It's just that some people are just "wired" differently. Children sometimes will face these issues while they grow...very often they will grow out of it if early childhood educators recognize the problem and is able to use a different teaching method.

huh really?

like even if that person graduates from a reputable uni , they still dig his history of sec school?

Oh god this literally reminded me of my childhood.

I've had teachers back in SMK who literally refused to teach. REFUSED. He would literally come in and say "sakit kepala" la "sakit perut" and bullshit and say today "buat kerja sendiri" or "rilek".

The teacher would then promote his/her own tuition classes and say if want to "truly" learn, come to the tuition.

People really have no idea how messed up our SK/SMK is. Malays who insistently want Chinese to attend SK/SMK turn a blind eye to the absolutely shit schools we have. The Chinese reject SK/SMK because the schools are FULL OF SHIT.

I'm sorry but non-folks here, please never make the mistake of sending your kids to SK/SMK because chances are they're shit. Malays themselves especially the good ones get handpicked to attend MARA, while the richer ones send their kids to international schools. These should tell you a lot.

now i see their permainan alrdy asking to make single stream school, but ownself got mala to go... ....

Is Chinese Literature offered to all students in the school, or only to selected students/classes/streams?

I see Mdm. Chua turns 55 this year - my son will enter CHS in a week's time, and I hope he may be blessed to be part of her final cohort of Chinese Language and Chinese Literature students before she retires in 5-6 years' time. Looks like she also coaches the CHS Chinese Language Debating Team (who have been winning quite a number of the National Chinese Debating competitions, even beating the Chinese Independent High Schools!).

Chinese literature is offered to all students across 14 classes starting from Form 4, both arts or science stream. Something unique about CHS is that all science students must take all 3 sciences and add maths, there are no "sub-science" class.

Yes indeed, our debate team frequently travels overseas for international competitions. Your son may join the debate club if he is keen on giving it a go.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, I'm happy to help.

Back in around 2000s, I used to know a few kids who were sent to private schools. Their parents were so proud to say "my child doesn't speak Chinese, he only understands English". And I was like "you are proud of him for being monolingual?".
And whaddya know, these people have started learning Chinese now.

When comes to kids, all parents wants the best and follow the trend to be competitive.
International school are one of those trends.

Personally, International school are meant for Foreigners who travels/migrates.
Not sure how these schools became a Trend

Good write up, this is also main reasons I send my kids to private school. SK is dominated also by malay and no longer multi racial. My son earlier was in SK and he is 1 of 2 Chinese student in the class. Also didn’t like how during assembly and etc got prayers before starting.

At least in private school is more open, teachers are better qualified and they really do teach, multi racial mixed students and much better facilities too

Correction: KL/Selangor parents. The demographic is too low to statistically label them under "malaysian parent"

Even in International Schools or shoplot ones some of the teachers don’t really put effort on classroom teaching, more on tuition. The teachers don’t really want to spend their time with the students, just teach and go.

tendency to do so.

Not unless if you're from SMK, then suddenly you are an engineer degree holder from Oxford.

It helps a lot if your secondary education is australian based
