adjunct HOD
 

You should. I’m a HOD with 20 years experience so my words can never be questioned. In fact, everything that i say (toxic environment, young officers, SLs, time management etc) should be taken at face value, because…. i’m a HOD with 20 years experience.

Now, you can continue dealing with your nightmares, because… i’m a HOD with 20 years experience.

Everyone needs to chill.

Probably lonely and single HOD, for more than 20 years.

Not just CCE. Teachers are useless. Kids have the Internet and are able to learn from many options. Not surprised that MOE is cutting staff cause teachers don't actually have any impact on their students.

The society is sick, parents are not doing their job to discipline or guide their children. They simply give them the mobile phones to pass their time at food court, while Father gamble on soccer website and Mother shops online. Helper sits beside children who are engrossed with their mobile phones and iPads.

On weekdays, parents throw the kids to student care or grandparents who rather give them the mobile devices. On weekends, Parents throw their kids to grandparents or enrichment classes so that they can go shopping or "rest" as they are "tired".

Come back on weekdays, you expect teachers to perform miracles with such kids.
When kids don't score, a few feedbacks from parents becomes additonal stress to the teachers. Super thanks to MOE Mcare system,. Every single feedback from self-entitled parents becomes teacher's fault.

Don't complain about the teachers. Reflect about how you raise your kids, parents.

actually teacher roles are obselete, going schools are not making sense either. Home schooled and private tutoring is the way to go.

not HOD
 

wow grabdriver in this thread! not driving tonight? i thought weekend night earnings are the best?

there’re many trolls here, some more obvious than others. just ignore them and let them talk to themselves

Every work environment has good/bad workers for whatever reasons. So do schools... There may be bad ones but I wouldn't say teachers are obsolete. If there are no teachers, then schools got to close... Kids got to be home schooled then working parents how? No need to go work already. If private tutoring becomes the way, then there will be this issue of good/bad tutors... Problem becomes cyclical.

So if you feel teachers are obsolete, simply home school your kids (if u have any and like what u have mentioned and put your foot down at this notion) or don't give birth lah.

Just ignore the trolls who like to bash teachers.

Teaching is not for everyone.

It takes a lot of patience and understanding.

The young need to be guided in their learning process.

And in many instances, the same applies to adults.
