We've not had a Zoom meeting in a looooong time. I miss those.

I suspect its a MOE policy, the Law of equal misery. If one school does it, other schools must follow

Will one HbL day per two weeks still continue?

I think your leave is forfeited if you are unable to clear, no encashment.

Yes, I think the option of encashment was done away with quite some time ago?

It depends on SLs, a number of schools including mine still adopt zoom.

How about zoom from school? Sit at ur desk and zoom? Heard of such clever planning before? Loll

Where can I find the details? Or must I call up HR to check? Not keen to hint that I’m leaving yet though.

Nice, I think MOE wants to avoid another Louis Ng type of feedback to Chan Chun Sing in Parliament, where Louis talks about different teachers having different work arrangements depending on the school they are at.

Some teachers can leave the moment their lessons end for the day, while others have to report and leave at a fixed time daily, regardless of timetable.

So to make it easier for Chan Chun Sing, every school adopt the same arrangement.

Hi teachers, need some advice..

My performance has always been very good for the past 5 years.
But yet I’m not promoted to a GEO 4 yet.
I’m doing fairly more than my peers teaching same subjects from other schools, and perhaps equivalent to those in my same school.
My friends in other schools are all 4 and minority of them already at KP level.

Spoke to my RO but he just say don’t complain, just work, not your time yet. But every time just telling me I’m doing well very good and CEP is good which I never know how true.

Should I continue to stay in this school and wait for miracle
Or
Look for another during open posting?
I can’t bear to leave what I’ve set up/created for the school but if no future there, then it’s a waste of my time.

Will open posting schools look for/accept higher GEO Teachers during interview? Or GEO 3 stands the same chance?

I felt really demoralised and taken for granted for being the youngest there.


Thanks in advance for spending some time for reading this

I’m in the soccer CCA. We have a coach and trainings bi-weekly. I’m not the IC but junior team IC. What are some ways I can contribute and add value to my CCA? I feel I’m not contributing much as it’s a sports CCA and the coach leads the team in practice.
