2014-P6家長會(新校長大改革),今年小六家長請進

tsmama

4. 寫作對將來中學及DSE課程非常重要，注重寫作絕對是好事。但提升寫作技巧並非一朝一夕可辦到之事，除非校長有秘技可短時間提升學生寫作能力，否則提高寫作分比重應從小一二做起。

5. 無論如何任何改變都需要適應期，要5及6年級這關鍵時刻即時改革實在不公，校長需慎重考慮撤回改革。

Hi all, I haven't disappeared. Been very busy working on this matter. However I am not in a position to update what I know yet, until we receive the Questionnaire. It all depends if they really did listen, but if the Questionnaire didn't change (i.e. it only still has 3 options, no option for no change) then we have a very serious problem. Also we also need to find out if all Grades received the exact same Questionnaire.

I also believe the open forum that is suppose to happen in September, they will separate each Grade too. If they do it like this, I think the school is afraid and don't want parents to all bond together. They have something to hide.

Please don't say, it is not possible to group every parent from all Grades, they just need to rent a big hall from somewhere. It is possible and even if administratively it will take a very long time to ask questions and the forum will take lets say 3 hours minimum, I am sure most parents would still be happy to attend.

Surely be happy to attend if there is such a session. At least, an opportunity to hear the views from all and facilitate the best understanding before the parents opt for any choice. Till now, there're still a lots of things in doubts, like whether the syllabus will be accumulated? What would be the volume for each test/exams? etc.
If there is a questionnaire, I am not sure about how the votes would be calculated and presented too. No trust indeed.

Right I can update you all now.

I have received the questionnaire through unofficial means.

There are 2 versions of the questionnaire. P1 to P4 has questionnaire A, and P5 to P6 has questionnaire B.

Version A, the standard 3 options we already know plus option 4: One more test on top of 3 exams. So it becomes 1 test 3 exams.

Version B, the standard 3 options we already know plus 2 more options.
Option 4: 10% test 90% exam, Option 5: 0% test 100% exam.

Please do not be happy just yet.
The headmistress still failed to answer two important administrative questions.

1) Who governs and checks the questionnaire results are really collected and counted properly. How will parents know the school really counted and that the school didn't lie about the results. I asked for the counting to be done publicly or some representive in power like PTA to over see this process.

2)Version B has option 5 0% test 100% exam, this doesn't answer if the exam papers haven't changed. Remember the headmistress said she wanted to make it into 2 essays for Chinese and English. I have received no information about this either.

I am sorry for being so mean and not trusting even after the school seems to have listened. However in my opinion they are just trying to sweeten things but not truly fixing things. My reason is simple, with the questionnaire my above two points should have already been addressed at the same time. And since it is not, I am back to the incompetent headmistress thinking again.

No.Three

Therefore, we have to follow her "game rules" indeed without choice?!

Any idea of the bridging course. When will it start or will it be cancelled? How to arrange the pick up then? sigh...

Ok more updates to for P5 and P6

Paper 1 - 40% (combine old system paper 1 and paper 2 together)

Paper 2 - 30% (two essay writing)

Listening - 10%

Speaking - 10%

So we are still doomed.

Bridging course will continue. You have the option to participate or not. Ends at 4:30pm if I am not mistaken. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. The headmistress did say something about school bus taking them away.
However it won't work. This bridging course is completely flawed.

1) All grades have this bridging course.
2) All grades happen on the same day.
3) I wonder if they even have enough teachers to do this then.
4) Is just doing worksheets. Treat it as an extra lesson. I mean at best they are only going to have 1 teacher inside the classroom.
5) The teachers can't handle this sudden extra workload. The people who has to make the worksheets and then the people who has to teach and mark it.
6) The headmistress is a slave driver.

我都反對考試內容的改变，若学生未能適應，會影響整体平均分數。尤其作文比重那麼高，作文很難拿滿分，直接拉低個grading.我堅持要维持原本，包括考試內容。

無論在考試形式、計分標準、內容比重，各方面都跟之前有所改變，真不知道我們可憐嘅P6學生及家長怎樣可以在這短短兩個月裏面去適應，從而可以考好十一月的第二個呈分試？
當其他小學正在幫其小六生全力以赴準備呈二試嘅時候，我們高小家長學生們還未知道及肯定自己學校最終的考試规則是怎樣，令人無所適從，真是有點兒大讓賽的感覺！
希望學校盡快醒悟，能夠跟家長們達成共識！

In very simple words. The headmistress heard we are not happy with 3 test 3 exams. So she gives us the option of no change but really she still changed the exam content. So is a lie even when we choose the no change option because it really isn't no change.

唔係用舊制,就跟以往的呈分機制一様,默書和作文唔計.定我理解錯誤.

Michael_wong

其實呢一刻我只想要落實時間表,畢竟時間緊迫,只想快快準備溫書呈分.

據我了解，通告內選擇二是沿用舊有模式，卷一及卷二合計一個分數，dict 及comp各自一個分數，同舊有成绩表一樣。但填questionaire時,.就要選option5。張通告及questionaire實在令人有点混亂。
我会選option5，讓我同小朋友可安心過渡評分試。
我覺得有怀疑，可打电話向班主任問清楚，向來高小的老師都很樂意解答我們的問題。
