A mother of a three has suddenly become the most hated woman in the country right now after expressing her opinion about school students who may not do well academically.
Come 2024, Singapore will do away with streams, and will instead introduce subject-based banding, where students will be able to take up subjects at higher or lower levels, depending on their ability and strengths. It’s a welcome change, given that it will group students together in different ways instead of grouping them according to purely academic abilities — on top of doing away with self-limiting mindsets and stigma that comes when labeled in the supposedly “slower” streams.
“It’s because of their upbringing — their mindset and values may not be in tandem with what I agree with,” said 48-year-old housewife Wendy Chan. “It’s not so much about academic performance.”‘As a society we are better than this’Mark Rozells — a parent and lecturer with a wealth of experience teaching in various local schools and colleges — did not like Chan’s statement one bit.
