This is an actual copy which I sent to MOE Feeback
on
1st November 2008, 17:55:
What are these p.h.d. (permanent head damaged) and the scholar
(saw lo ~ retard/ crazy) at the MOE trying to do to
the adolescence of Singapore? Trying to drive them to be the like
of them?
I thank you. If that is what they are trying, then set up
schools for the breed but spare the innocent adolescence. Leave and
let them to have their happiest and most memorable childhood. There
is no more quality life after that!
My poor little girl is in P5 and she is a genius of the
bordliners. I was informed by the form teacher that if she did not
pass at least one subject in SA2, she will have to
take Foundation in P6.
Foundation? Isn’t primary level already the foundation stage of
the whole damn education system?
Foundation? Didn’t they just abolish the silly classification of
‘EM1’, ‘EM2’ and ‘EM3’?
WHAT FOUNDATION?
Last year when she was in P4, her teacher already fore warned me
never to opt for FOUNDATION. He had said that it would
end her chance to enter into a normal secondary level. I remembered
asking the teacher why teachers in Singapore do not voiced their
opinions during meet sessions. He replied sadly that those ‘people’
at MOE don’t listened.
Leaving with no other choice; thinking she need to have at least
a PSLE to get into a normal secondary, I tried my very
best to prepare her for her SA2. I remembered those
days and I hated myself for doing that. It was pure craziness that
lasted 3 weeks. I can still heard myself screaming and yelling like
a ‘p.h.d.’ or a ‘saw lo’ at the poor child!
Results were out yesterday. FAILED all her
subjects! DOES IT HELP? THE ANXIETY? THE
WORRIES? THE STRESS? THE
PRESSURE?
YES! It helps to carry me to a step nearer to
‘Woodbridge’ or the Mental Health Hospital! (Why did they change
the name? The SYSTEM is forcing a lot of ‘saw lo’ to
consult MHH!) It helps increase my blood pressure! It
kills a child’s self-esteem; decreases her confidence!
YES! It helps to increase the number of
appointments at MHH, so MHH has to build
extension!
I had come to term. Fine! Since, I had similar thought as Albert
Einstein in “the spirit of learning and creative thought were lost
in strict rote learning”; except that the ‘strict rote learning’ is
replaced by the quixotic of the MOE in its Education
System! There is only one option left for me. If my poor child is
been put to the SYSTEM CONDEMNATION DEN –
FOUNDATION, I am ready to remove her from school next
year.
I had called MOE. No one can answer my question –
CAN I OPT OUT OF FOUNDATION? MOE said it is up to the
decision of the school principal. The kind lady had sent my request
on 23 Oct 08 for the principal to call me. Yesterday, I called
again for an appointment to meet the Minister of MOE
(DR. Lee(?)). The same lady had came to the phone to tell me she
WOULD get the school principal to call me. I told her
the principal was very busy, she was not in. However, she did get
hold of the VP to call me before 16:30.
THE JOKE OF THE DAY: The VP told me the Foundation
is as per MOE SYSTEM requirement. (See the usual
pushing – ‘chi kung’!)
NO ONE nor especially THE SYSTEM, is
going to condemn my little GENIUS! Even if I am at my
last breath, this will act as a legal right or a legal will of a
mother to fight for her child’s right!
Wonder what is the Society of Children or the Children Court (Is
there one?) doing? If beating a child is abused, isn’t condeming a
child a more serious case?
I hereby declared that if my little Genius is put to
FOUNDATION, she will not be going to school next year.
MOE is solely responsible for this, as I am doing this
because I will not leave my child in the CONDEMNATION
DEN! And that I am not violating the Law that education is
compulsory. My little Genius will continue to learn English,
Mathematics, Science, ‘Real’ Art and other more holistic subjects
elsewhere.
It is the MOE who is violating the Law for not
providing an appropriate education for the benefit of the
children!
“Education does two things: it develops the individual and
educates the citizen.”

The contents of text books, methods of Maths teaching and
whatever p.h.d. methods will be discussed at SgForums under the
topic “The Abolishment of EM3…Comes
FOUNDATION!”
so.... she is the genius of borderliners?
