改变华文小六会考比重: 井底蛙的竞争

具有争议性的小六会考报告, 我针对陳思平读者在2010424日的早报上的评论:2009年教育部小六会考成绩, A A*的百份率比例

英文 43.9

数学 43.3

科学 42.6

华文 81.1

假设以上的数据是准确的,那么华文其实是我们学生众多学科中成绩最好的一门。那为什么有必要像黄永宏部長所建议改变华文在小六会考的比重呢?更令人不解的是,尽管有81.1% 的小学生的华文取得了A A*的百份率 明显高出其他三门学科,可为什么现在却有这么多的学子讨厌学习华文,以及社会有关华文太难学的热烈讨论。我想华文成绩好数据的原因是因为教育部通过设置批改标准与统计学修正给我们的一个幻觉。我想新加坡学生能在世界数学和科学成绩排名中名列前茅,为什么我们学习华文出了这么多问题呢?不知不觉的教育部在加深对下一代新加坡人学华语根基的损害。让我们的华文水平每况愈下!真正的出自以多年來教育部的教育体制: 分流,学分和精英制度,我们的教育制度需要的不是淘汰,适者生存。我擔心教育部多年來误嚴重是否造成我們下一代中华文化的拒绝分流!

Parents and pupils are worried and struggling

to cope with our highly stressed school system that's

arised due to MOE aggressive streaming at too young an age

of our pupils, branding and ranking of schools - due to elitism in

MOE education system. Elitism in the education system triggers competition at all levels, among pupils, classes, teachers, principals, schools and parents. This quest to be the best inevitably results in an over emphasis on ranking. Instead of teaching and learning, schools are focused on comparing and competing. Aggressive streaming done at too young an age kill alot of late developers and potential talents. Everyone wants only top results. Many in this society only narrowly focus on getting these results at the expense of learning. This is competition in a well. In Mandarin, it's :.
