Raimie's Class Assessment Result
Yesterday, Raimie brought back his assessment test results. The test was done during the orientation, prior to entering Standard One. It was done mainly to gauge students mastery of Bahasa Malaysia (Malay language) and to sort students according to class.Raimie's result? He got 59/60. One mark was deducted for his reading. No big deal. The main thing is, he enjoys going to school and meet new friends there. (Even though we said it is no big deal, I admit that we'd be pretty bummed if he didn't make it to the top class, which luckily he did. Huhuhu)
Tonight, he told us that he enjoys being in science class. Science and Maths class are held in English Language in Malaysia School. (I believe, for those in Chinese Schools, they learn the two subjects in both English and Chinese. Correct me if I'm wrong)
Wow! Congrats to Raimie! I think Chinese school is crazy to make the pupils learn those subjects in two languages! : )
ReplyDeleteyeke.... but now they said want to do back in malay??? wasting money la those high end ppl.... but pity those in countryside... left behind
ReplyDeleteCongratz...Raimie seems to be enjoying. That's is great...and he is smart :)
ReplyDeleteLearning in both language is certainly crazy. I think English is the way to go. Don't change it back to Malay...
@foong,
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
my friends' children studied the subjects in both languages! As if in one is not enough.
@Yatie,
will they revert back? It's not good flip-flopping decisions like that because it's the kids that suffer.
@Jason,
Maybe but rural kids have trouble studying English alone, so two more subjects in English?
Clever boy! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteDon't pressure him too much. Let him enjoy his studies. :)
Happy Valentine's Day!
terror lah your boy. it's good to hear that raimie enjoys going to school.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Congrats to your little one's achievement! I just passed my Bahasa paper in school..hehhhe..no top grades. My mandarin went down the drain in primary school...I really regret not mastering this language.
ReplyDelete@Life Ramblings,
ReplyDeletehehehe thanks.
Happy Valentine's Day to you too!
@Mei Teng,
Thanks. :) It's not easy to master Mandarin even for Chinese, no?
first of all lina, congrats to your son!
ReplyDeleteyup! megat learns science and maths in both english and mandarin languages. thank god he loves science subject very much, so i guess it ain't much trouble for him to study that subject.
i tell you what, lilian (chan) was impressed for me sending megat to a chinese school. it seems that even she was not that braved ;)
besides that, my senior (chinese) in school who is now based in ipoh, also was dread to think of what's going to happen during her daughters' lower primary school days... both her husband and her are really thinking twice about sending them to a chinese school— but she told the husband if megat and i can cope, she don't see of why they can't. and i am very proud that her husband and her make us as their inspiration! ;)
@ku E,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Megat's coping well. I had thought of sending Raimie to a Chinese School, but Zaini was not too keen about it.
Kids and parents of Chinese School needs a lot of commitment, that's how I feel. Megat is lucky to have a mom like you. I would have problems coping with Raimie if he's at school until 3-4pm! It'll be canteen food for him! :O
