The focus is now more on basics, and teaching in smaller groups. Not just so, how to teach less and learn more. Nice concept, but isn't going very well. Sometimes, creativity is not the answer to teaching.Originally posted by rainee:how has it changed? -
haha...her books are fun to read again and again...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Can't remember le. I think it's the only book, other than textbooks that made me read so many times without ever comprehending it. Usually when I read it a second time, it will become clearer to me -
haha yea...cos trying to prevent teachers from spoon feeding the students. but some students if you dun make them do rote learning, they will not learn.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:The focus is now more on basics, and teaching in smaller groups.

all the creative stuff in classroom is okie once in a while to make the lessons fun, but i tink most of the learning process should still consist of teachers guiding the students to understand rather than letting the students drowning on their own

Maybe got time I read her books again. Just not now. Enough mind-boggling school work.Originally posted by rainee:haha...her books are fun to read again and again... Usually when I read it a second time, it will become clearer to me -

Thats life. the uncertainties~ -
well, i've read some.. go bored with most of them..
some try too hard to be 'clever' with too many improbably twists..
i like a straightforward bookOriginally posted by rainee:u have read agatha christie's books? i can't seem to figure out which is the person who commits the crime until the last minute...not for her short stories which i dun really like, but her novels are very nice to read...
now going to try to borrow ann rule and ellery queen's books.. -
yea and i hate uncertaintiesOriginally posted by BadzMaro:Dont worry.

wa lao...her books are damn nice lor..queen of crimes man.. especially the polliot series...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Agatha's books... god. Read one and I put it down. Got me too confused.
i remember there was one book the murderer was not the person who killed but another person who persuade others to kill for him..ingenious -
haha...yea. Some of them can be complicated.Originally posted by the Bear:well, i've read some.. go bored with most of them..

It depends on my mood i guess. If I am in a mood for light reading, I will pick up chick lit or some light romance books. If I am in a mood to puzzle and mull over things, I will pick up those mystery and thriller books -
Yeah... but rote learning.... haizz... we are a product of it. I think RP forum is just a great example. Rote learning should be used as the last resort...Originally posted by rainee:haha yea...cos trying to prevent teachers from spoon feeding the students. but some students if you dun make them do rote learning, they will not learn.

I don't think there's guidance in schools here, more of spoon-feeding. Students here drown once they get out of secondary schools, because that's called guidance.
But well... 10 years of education is so deeply rooted... want to change also hard. Unless we start guiding them from young, rather than spoon-feeding. Still a long way to go.. -
Dont we all. he he.~ faced with uncertainties almost everyday. So just take it as it goes n enjoy day to day~Originally posted by rainee:yea and i hate uncertainties -
hmm...I think I know which book you are talking about, but the title eludes me...Originally posted by Xtrider:wa lao...her books are damn nice lor..queen of crimes man.. especially the polliot series...
i remember there was one book the murderer was not the person who killed but another person who persuade others to kill for him..ingenious
I still like her book titled Nemesis and the Crooked House the most -
Ya, I know, but just too confusing. No time to figure out all these things till I'm free.Originally posted by Xtrider:wa lao...her books are damn nice lor..queen of crimes man.. especially the polliot series...

i like Murakami books.. they're quirky and sometimes totally outlandish... but with some thought, they are very down-to-earth..Originally posted by rainee:haha...yea. Some of them can be complicated.

haha yea, very hard to change. Not that many students adapt well to creative learning. And if just leave them to do things on their own, they just won't do or tell you they dunno how to doOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Yeah... but rote learning.... haizz... we are a product of it.
