  4. Nothing wrong with Greed. It is how the greed was satisfied that could create problems
  5. benefits me??? in what way this benefits me??? That is the part I never understand in online forums. When I argue for more benefits for having babies, people think I am planning to start a soccer team... when our production line is shut many years ago. Some people never stick to the things being discussed and always assume things about the other parties. When I bring up points on both sides, people get confused but in every argument/issue there is ALWAYS both sides and you will do well to consider both. I see the reason behind keywords in a nationwide standardised exams, but I don't see a good enough reason for penalising students in the "top" secondary school for taking shortcuts in presentations the regular school maths tests. If the answer is wrong without working in a math exam, give the student zero. If he/she can give the answer with 2 lines of working, why penalise the kid? ... unless you think I am sore about those marks my girl lost in presentation in Sec 1??? I did not even scold her. I told her well done after I saw her paper and saw she got almost all the answers correct but she got like 75%. I don't really care about the 75%. Last year, I scolded her for sec 3 math paper because I saw she couldn't do the first question and then it affected the rest of the paper. quite a few of the answers were wrong...
  6. I think he is saying CM doesn't know that keyword is still the thing that his markers look out for. And myself, I find CM doesn't realise when he used 'Heat gain' and 'water vapor' in his example of a student showing understanding of concept, he is literally using the important keywords that I have drilled it into my son and daughter.
  7. Just now, after lunch , I look thru her exam paper.. Only know one multiple choice question, the rest I cmi. I will be relying on Edge's Copilot and Google Germini.. See how first.
  8. I watched this video yesterday... It is supposed to be a video where kids can have a candid conversation with Minister chan. At the end, Kaylea mentioned she has seen minister before in the cotton sheep video. Minister said it was ok to make mistake as long as one don't repeat it. This morning, I found the clip reuploaded with the section removed..... Why? 1) is it because of self censorship by CNA? Is there a need for it? was the minister embarrassed about his mistake? Did CNA consider how Kaylea might feel when she realised CNA posted her commented and then cut it away? I feel this looks very bad either on CNA or minister. The original clip really wasn't very bad, in fact I thought it is worse that they censored it. I hope our media has enough freedom to post comments about cotton sheep... honestly it wasn't really that big a deal. The censorship (self?) is far worse....
  9. I have watched the video and also read the cna article on it. My point remains the same. I do find it hard to understand you. First, u have mentioned that u take offence that your girls RGS math paper requires her to rigidly present her work and implied that it's 'ridiculous' they didn't exercise more flexibility.. so u want flexibility.. Now when the CM acknowledged that they exercise more flexibility in awarding marks.. u come up with.. "I have no beef about the push for less emphasis on keywords but honestly, I don’t think it’s possible in a standardised exam." That they should stick to keywords.. Huh?!?! If u support flexibility, shouldn't you be praising the CM for doing so instead of name-calling him? This is like what theoldjaffa said, some parents really think they know everything and want everything.. okay I get it, you only want things when it benefits you.
  10. GREED has no LIMIT 1 bungalow is not enough in Bahamas …
  11. Today
  12. Have to submit NRIC copy. So I guess that's how they check. I can't remember if I submit DOB though. I guess you have to use your parent's name to apply. Just pay for them using your credit card, it'll auto deduct every month.
  13. ok this screenshot is clear. he's straddling 2 lanes.
  14. cam car is in the correct lane leh. maybe camera distortion shows that he's not within his lane. the wowo is on the leftmost lane and he should exit into bukit timah based on the arrows.
  15. Did you watch the video? I have no beef about the push for less emphasis on keywords but honestly, I don’t think it’s possible in a standardised exam. My main beef is that he makes it sound like everything is fine, u write in your own words you will get marks, the cause is because of misunderstanding from tuition, external classes teachers. i don’t think so… the primary schools themselves are focusing on keywords, at least it was 3 years ago when I “took” psle science. My girl primary school themselves are drilling those keywords which is a direct contradiction of what this guy is saying on tv.
  16. just last night, i encountered the same thing at the same point. a toyota vios in the same lane as this cb XC40. i have beedio downloaded just in case.
  17. Did Simba ask for proof of senior age during application? I'm planning to apply for parents but under my name.
  18. Creative English writing.............can ask ChatGPT for ideas? The LLMs (Large Language models) are best at this stuff. Nowadays, when I am stuck in my coding , I use ChatGPT for ideas. 😄
  19. BTW, I'm a little disappointed on how the Jap SUVs faired.. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1146810690075222
  20. anyone using those magnetic type for samsung s24u can share the one you're using ? is it too heavy for the magnet? TIA!
  21. Sec 3 stuff is no joke…. My daughter did badly in sec three last year but I can’t tutor her anymore. She has to pull herself up. Her sec4 1st term results is much better and hopefully it continues….
  22. Same here, Math and Science home tutored by me. Science is till her P6 after some session MU with her science teacher, that I think I myself memorise all the important keywords. English and Chinese leave to the enrichment classes. I thought my home tutor days are over,, my girls received and 1st term sec3 results. Chem and not doing well. I think I need to start googling on chemistry.. But it's a topic I myself am not good. Why no PE exams, I can teach them how to apply 80/20 exercises, how different intensity utilize different energy system.
