Saya juga ada pengalaman yang sama macam TT....

Nak tanya.. macam mana dia leh bertukar hat tulis dari papan hitam dgn cepat tu eh? cikgu tuisyen dia suruh buat apa jer? anak saya pun ada masalah ni.. sya selalu tgk bulu latihan dia cikgu conteng .. sbb kerja sekolah tak siap.. ye lah yg salin dari papan hitam kita nak guide dia pun tak tau.. sbb tak tau cikgu tu refer dari mana... tgk salin pun tak habih.. dulu dah pernah request dgn cikgu mintak dudukkan dia barisan depan.. cikgu tak mau... dia kata semua org nak kan anak dia duduk depan.. susah juga.. anak kita ni kita mmg tau.. kalau duduk blkg main2 punya... nasib baik oeriksa ok jugak lah.. cuma tu la disebabkan kerja sekolah asik tak siap jer... elok2 pangkat ketua kelas, cikgu pecatkan dia.. sian jer dgr dia bgtau... anak kita darjah satu...

Dulu masa tadika pun lambat jer membaca... rupanya depan kita jer dia mcm tu.. tanya cikgu. katanya anak akak ok... cuma kita ni takde la terima bulat2 ckp cikgu tu kan... hantar tusiyan membaca.. alhamdulillah... kurang2 dia boleh membaca takde la byk sgt kerja kita time nak tolong dia buat kerja serkolah kan... cuma tulah .. dia ni takde nak tanda2 pun mksurat mana nak kena buat.. kita lak yg pening nak tlg dia pun tak tau..

Mac rasa mac senior di sini, Anak bungsu mac berumur 12 tahun.

Education is important. Some schools, bec of the environment will be filled with tidak apa parents. Some schools bec of the environment juga, is filled by kiasu parents.

So anak di tahun 1 turun kelas? If tanya mac i will be worried. Tapi Mac akan rasa bersyukur juga sbb turunnya dia ke kelas no3 akan menyedarkan mac sebagai ibu dari terus lena. Lena dgn tanggungjawab sbagai seorang isteri, lena dan sibuk dgn kerjaya, dan lena, sibuk dan leka melayan anak2 yang lain.

Some parents akan tak kisah results anak tak cemerlang, yang penting tak fail. Some parents pulak, nak results cemerlang sentiasa.

Some parents nak anak cemerlang no matter what. Some parents nak anak cemerlang dgn memberi bimbingan.

So what type of parent are you?

To be honest, bab eduction, i have a high expectation of my kids, But with that high expectation, i beri bimbingan, bukan hanya demand semata2. (Note that i believe in all rounder students. Bukan academic semata2.)

All my kids, mac wants them to be in 1st class masa tahun 1. In order to do that, i mengadap dia masa kindy. I may be kiasu to some people. But seriousla kat luar sana, RAMAI lagi parents yg lagi kiasu, esp yg berbangsa lain. Memang kadang2 saya takut dgr how competitive they are.

So adakah turun kelas at std 1 something yg perlu dirisaukan? I would say, yes, you should risau but also pada mac, you r at the stage yg senang sangat nak get your child back in track. Sbb baru darjah 1.... dan bukan darjah 5 for instance. So you boleh risau, but you can do something  to change it.

Syllabus tahun 1 quiet easy. As moms, walaupun bekerja, just take a bit time off to glance through it. InsyaAllah dgn ibu sendiri mengajar, dan ibu sendiri dapat menilai samada anak improve ke tak.

Now dah akhir tahun. I hope anak you ada improvement dari bulan Mei bila you post this thread.

mac... education system sekolah rendah sekarangnih dah lain... not like before. starting last year dah tukar system apa tah. no more grading... no exams.. ada ujian penilaian tapi teachers takkan kasitau actual result, not even nombor berapa dlm kelas. kelas nyer ranking pun dah takde. guna konsep penilaian berterusan... kononnya ikut participation in class, homework, attendance, health, etc...

masa my 1st child last year masuk darjah 1 cikgu skola dia still practise normal ways yg buat exams semua.. pastu kementerian dpt tau and sekolah tu kena. semua cikgu kena hantar gi kursus and diwajibkan ikut system baru starting early of this year haritu. masa mid year ada parents-teacher nyer meet-up, dia cuma kasi tengok satu result je yg i pun tak tau apa. even cikgu dia pun mcm tak reti explain. since tulis kat situ 100%... i pun xbanyak tanya lah sbb dah itu full mark. pelik.

the challenge now is even harder that kena go thru setiap buku latihan dan ajar dia balik supaya dia tau apa yg dia belajar. no more exam to measure how far they can memorize those. but, i yg beli buku ujian dan suruh dia buat masa weekends.. then i can judge where she is.

next year my son masuk darjah 1... tadika skarang so far ok lah. dia boleh membaca + menulis dlm english, malay dan tulisan jawi. tapi i'm just worried about this whole new education system... since the teachers are not ready for that. hope that everything goes fine... upsr pun dah takde bila budak darjah 1 last year sampai darjah 6. i dunno how would the final result be... camne utk apply sbp/mrsm nanti...

tau tu Ira. And honestly I pity parents yg anak dia std 1 this year. Mengamuk2 my frens yg anak dia involved with the new system. Eh starting last year ke Ira, I thought starting this year.

I dapat tau in some schools, PIBG decided n gave funding buat exams jugak. Tak boleh ke?

My girl yang form 1 pun kena sbb PMR dah takda lagi for her. My son yg 12 tahun tu pun samalah. But tak sama rasanya if dari std 1 dah takda exam (ini different topic altogether la kan) Yg rugi pun orang kita jugak.

But then, penilaian yg dibuat ke atas pelajar, tak share dgn parents ke? Mesti ada feedback to parents kan.

Having said that, berbalik pada topic, mothers masih boleh beli exercise books and beri latihan. Masa March, May, Aug, Nov, moms boleh kasi 'test' jugak..... in order for the child to improve and naik kelas for next year.

erm, dah confirm ke UPSR dimansuhkan? Setahu mac, PMR dah confirm dimansuhkan starting 2014. But UPSR still ada, cuba dalam perbincangan samada perlu dimansuhkan... (or mac tak perasan updates on UPSR huhu yela anak semua dah takda nak ambik UPSR lagiiii)

tadi dok mencari program cuti sekolah utk anak bongsu termasuk lah kat sini

yg uols cite ni dipanggil PBS...form 1 dah mula, sek rendah dah mula a few years rasanya...i tell u as a teacher pbs ni tak bagus..kami semua dlm dilema now, td taklimat pbs lagi..sbb apa?

dlm sistem kat komputer tu, let say ada lopong..lets say chapter 1..ada band 1 sampai 5, murid ni dpt score band 1, 3, dan 5..so ada lopong utk band 2 dan 4 kan..bila key in band yg dia dpt score tadi..1,3 dan 5..walau pun band 5 tu the highest achievement..computer akan set final marks dia dpt band 1 je..penganiyaan pd murid pandai..if dia blh dpt band 5 obviously memang pandai tp sbb ada silap kat band 2 dia x dpt band 2 n 4 tu..mula2 dulu kami ingatkan akan ambil purata..mcm cgpa tu kan..band 1=1 point, 2=2 then cari purata...but its not..dia amb yg score yg terendah

its very impossible for all students to achieve all the bands..sbb mcm normal test jugak kan..ada salah sini betul sana..

dah lah penilaiannya huh xtau nak ckp, ada cikgu bg buat open book test, ada yg bg bawa balik as hwk..ada cikgu strict like me u answer now right infront of me.. ada cikgu main thick aja..dah tak kuasa nak kejar bdk kan...my students ada yg sign ..sesungguhnya tak mau jwb soalan pbs..dia org dah muak..hari2 ujian..all subjects..ada yg ambil kertas soalan pastu tulis senikata lagulah..gambar kartun lah..words2 canggih mencarut tu la..
kalau markah band ni dijadikan ukuran utk pmr..memang lah tak adil utk semua murid di seluruh negara.

dia org tak set lagi upsr nak buat mcm mana..katanya holistic lah..ambik kira semua aspects..

anyway as for TT dont worry too much anak turun kelas..but your inisiatif  was very good..semua anak2 mempunyai keupayaan berbeza..dan bidang interest yg berbeza..i have 4 kids,....each of them sgt2 berbeza..ada yg genius..ada gak yang super genius he he ada yg sedang2..dan ada yg jenis melepak je.

ada anak sy yg sek rendah sedang2 je..upsr pun 2a, 2b, 1c! alhamdulillah now she is doing A level to further study in uk after getting 9As in her spm last yr..so some kids they matured at later age. yg no 1 genius straight As student..kat overc now deans list gak. no 2 is super genius..for me la..sbb blh dpt straight As and also a hafiz...alhamdulillah sejuk perut...yg bongsu ni ahaaahai..too early to tell sbb dia style melepak tu ler....

sy qoute kata2 ustazah dlm rancangan semanis kurma, anak2 itu fitrah ( cerdik, bersih, baik..etc) bergantung kpd ibu bapa dan environementnya yg menukarkannya menjadi corot, nasrani or majusi

yup PBS ni mmg pada saya byk kelemahannya, walaupun saya bukan guru or org yg kerja in the education area.

Secara logicnya, even UPSR marking pun tak sama, ada loopholesnya based on human diferrences, walaupun ada guidelines pemarkahan. Itu sebab cikgu2 UPSR pun sibuk nak tau, kemana kertas UPSR anak muridnya pergi. Ke Trengganu? Ke Perak?

Ini baru cakap diferences between states. What about differences between schools in a State? And difference between teachers in a school.?

I just read this from someones FB wall tadi. This someone is a very active NGO who is very active in schools PIBG:

"The SBA (School Based Assessment) sungguh tak elok.My son scored 100% for a subject while many failed with even 20%. Tapi everyone was awarded Band 4. Class teacher cannot explain why.
(i am a very annoyed mum now)"


I hope my Form 1 daughter and std 6 boy wont be a victim to this new system. My 2nd daughter was the 1st batch in PPSMI. This batch belum nampak results lagi(via SPM) pun. Dah tukar, taknak lagi PPSMI. Nasib baik ada soft landing, i guess due to the huge uproar. If not,  mmgla aniaya budak2 ni.

oh my form 1 daughter dah kena aniaya by her kh-ert teacher. rasa nak call je pk1 sek tu, sek lagi 1 week aja today dah cuti. for amali ert ada 2 , 1- buat batter and band 3, 2- buat kuih tempatan- ni up to band 5. she only did the first one, second practical tak buat...i pun tulis at my fb wall pbs ni penganiayaan pd murid form 1 this yr.

marking papers pulak..human error memang tak dpt dielakkan. walau pun ada cross check..dlm team marking tu partner will check apa yg u dah mark
once ada case in my team, one teacher tak habis marking so she simply put marks! wahhhh and her partner didnt cross chek fully..luckily chief bef submit all these papers, he/she will pick at random any script. allah nak selamatkan anak2 yg dianiaya tu, the one she picked unmark? satu hari dia prosess semula all script check with her daughter at home..she found about 30 scripts unmarked...what if she didnt find all these papers?
anyway tht teacher was removed from marking team the next yr
my fren sorang lagi suka betulkan jwpn calon? dia kata kesian..simple silly mistake she will correct it ha ha eg, dah betul dah jln kerja but final answer tertinggal simbol negative ke, fraction yg tak simplified ke.. i dah 3 years stop marking papers sbb tension marking ni..takut pun ia..masa dpn somebody..last week somebody called me up nak marking pmr paper tak? tak cukup cikgu ramai tak mau mark dah..he he i refused.. weih busy dgn pbs
kwn satu lagi cikgu sains, she is kelantanese..dpt paper from kedah..luckily she asked me, deras ni maksud apa ya? dia dah salahkan jwpn calon tu then i told her tu maksud laju la..

semlm kami diberi taklimat pbs lagi..for koku if students tu just datang for mesyuarat agong aja, x payah bg mark. sbb dlm sistem semua marks for koku yg cantik2 belaka..means once u check part koku tu dia dah 60% mark, padahal yg kita buat manually all these whiles..u kena attend at least 8 meetings baru dpt 50%..its unfair for active students kan..so pk koku said x payah masukkan utk silent member....imagine if this mark will be used utk apply ipt nanti..10% koku mark tu is very significant.

my neibor's daughter pernah dpt spm 5A tp x dpt mana2 ipt, not even matrix or uitm. bila dia chek dgn dean uitm..baru dia tau anak dia tak ada marks koku..dia pi mengamok kat pk1 sek anak dia ha ha sbb anak dia aktif koku tu..now masuk koleh mara yg ada twinning program dgn U tu. kesian kan human error
i told my fren yg mengajar sek bdk ni, she said...oh patut meeting semalam pk 1 pesan, cikgu2 jgn lupa isi mark koku murid2..ada parent mengamok dgn saya hari tu anak dia x dpt masuk mana2..sek tu memang terkenal cikgu2nya malas ha ha..kami pun ada rating sek mana byk kerja, boss strict..yg blh lepak2 dan bermalas..jgn mare..i bukan ajar sek tu..sek tu belakang rumah i aja

Koku tahun lepas student isi sendiri kan dalam UPU? I was so furious bila tgk her koku marks. She merely got 78. Padahal wakil sek pergi overseas, masa trials pun tak habis lagi practice itu ini, siap 2-3 kali masuk MHI TV3. Yang peringkat kebangsaan punyala banyak. Yet tak lepas 80? My frens yg teachers semua heran. I malas nak mengadap sek coz my anak kata her frens pun sama. Tapi syukur all her application for Matrics n UPU semua dapat first choice. Btw anak you bound to UK in 2014? Samala mcm anak i, InsyaAllah  Eh sukanya dgr your kids yg in deans list n hafiz tu.... share la tips.... so happy for you. I have 4 kids also. Lagi 2 dah lepas boarding school. tinggal yg bungsu yg manja dok relax memanjang huhu....

koku ni penting tau..so dont play play ha ha anak tak pi xtvt koku biarkan je..normally students akan isi ada form khas or buku khas..then cikgu persatuan/uniform sign bg marks..then s/u koku key in dlm system.

my 3 kids above ni koku memang 90% above..semua sampai kebangsaan, yg eldest ada pegi international gak..tp kena lengkap lah the 3 sections, unit  beruniform, sukan and persatuan..if dia aktif one part aja tak blh dpt A gak..80% above tu

koku hebat, academic hebat so easy to get offers..lagi kalau dia tu boy..my two boys atas ni i tak worry sgt..memang excell since primary school..i totally ignored them ha ha..bcos they are self motivated..no tuition what so ever..

rezeki Allah utk my kids alhamdulillah. my doter tu sek biasa je sbb upsr 2a kan he he..pmr pun 5a je..she was born prem..early 7 weeks so i didnt push her, selalu sakit during the early years. i was quite worried for her..form 4 baru nampak dia excell..dpt anugerah highest mark, menang kuiz etc.
alhamdulillah rezeki dia melimpah ruah...kami pun x sangka..she got all she applied ..uitm, matrix, uia, maktab and lastly dpt jpa offer to UK? ni she didnt apply at all mcm mana blh dpt tah..dah ready nak daftar uia then dia chek email ada offer letter from jpa. maktab tu i suka sgt ye la girls kan...ada elaun gak..tp dah buat istiharoh..dia menangis 2 hari 2 mlm...tak tau nak pegi mana he he..i suka dia pi maktab, the father nak dia pegi uk..abang sulung kat overc nak pi overc, abang no 2 yg hafiz soh pi maktab..menangis budak tu..si adik lak kata...dia nak bljr chef je lah..i tanya nape tiba2 chef? she: sbb chef tak perlu dpt A byk
masa nak decide i asked her teachers opinion, they said bdk baik allah bantu..anak u tu kan baik, cikgu suka, kwn2 pun suka..
my children semua sek agama..boarding school pun sek agama gak, yg biasa ni pun i sent to sma/smka. dah form 4 baru kuar sbb some sma xde sains stream.

pbs ni uols boleh tgk online for each subject ada guidelines..about kemahiran yg nak di test, band semua tu..i ni ajar maths n kh ert sbb tu blh tanya anak apa dah buat?

and for young parents here i totally suka sek aliran agama..yg berasrama..disitu lah anak2 didik secara holistic..mcm i qoute atas tu faktor environment memainkan peranan penting dlm upbringing our children. kalau dia dah biasa dlm environment islamic insyallah mrk akan jadi anak yg menyejukkan hati. senang hati kan x perlu suruh solat, ngaji or puasa sunat? berlumba2 buat baik utk kehidupan yg lbh baik here and after

butterprawn79

Sistem sekarang ni guna sistem Band....xde lagi KBSR tapi KSSR....periksa guna sistem PBS...penilaian berasaskan sekolah....memang dah xde periksa awal tahun, 1/2 tahun, akhir tahun...tapi kira macam kita time kat U dulu la...ada carry mark...ada ujian....kiranya ongoing accessment....sentiasa kita as parent kena check & monitor kekurangan, kelemahan anak kita supaya x ketinggalan...dan markah2 tu akan di bawa dari mereka tahun 1 sampailah ke tahun 6....Bila awal tahun...start dari bulan January - May...cikgu akan monitor...murid2 tu kat tahap mana....kalau x sampai ke tahap yang sepatutnya..memang akan diturunkan kelas...ke kelas yang murid2 sama tahap dengannya....

want2bhappy....

bila saya dah hantar tuisyen...anak saya boleh cepat membaca....so bila cepat membaca...dia akan cepat menulis...tengok je perkataan kat papan hitam, dia dah leh ingat ejaan perkataan tu...kalau tak...1 huruf, 1 kali dia tulis kat buku...bila nak siapnya?

betul kata awak....sedih bila tengok buku kena conteng....kita nak tolong....x tau cikgu tu amik soalan dari mana...check kat buku teks...xde soalan tu....memang rasa stress...nak tolong tapi x dapat...

ira79

hmm...KSSR - PBS.. apa pun namanyer, kalau cikgu sekolah tu macam xtau.. haru jugak la jadinyer.

comparing my doter nyer skola dgn my frens yg lain hantar anak mereka.. lain dari satu skola ke skola lain. ada yg masih berbuku rekod.. tapi breakdownnyer tulis setiap satu assessment tu. ada yg buat dono je wat exam mcm biasa.. ada nombor2 dlm kelas.

tapi tensionnyer skola my doter tuh wat exam.. tapi takde buku rekod. tahun lepas camtu.. tahun ni pun camtu. nak harap mid-year parents-teacher review yg xsampai 5minit sbb beratur panjang semua parents utk 1 hari.. cikgu kelasnyer pulak cuma ada sekeping kertas yg xtaulah total ke apa.. dia pun mcm tak reti nak explain. bila tanya "camne anak saya dlm kelas".. jawab cikgunyer "dia suka diam, xbising mcm bebudak lain"... i was like "?????" apa maksud cikgu tu.. for me, memang i ajar anak i suruh diam dlm kelas, dengar apa yg cikgu ajar... takkan expectation cikgu tu suruh bebudak jadi mcm (sorry to say) perangai monyet.. jerit sana sini.. lari.. lompat.. koyak buku.. all those memang i nampak sendiri sementara tunggu giliran nak jumpa cikgu kelasnyer tu.

adehhh... nak harap ko-ku.. skarang my doter baru darjah 2.. takde koku lagi. lagipun i nampak skola tu mcm xmeriah pun kokunyer. berbanding satu lagi skolah dkt my area yg overcrowded. selalu je padang sekolah penuh dgn mcm2 aktiviti student.. samada sukan mahupun badan beruniform.. ada jugak terasa nak tukarkan skola dia... tapi a bit risau pasal skola tu overcrowded and that was the reason kenapa i hantar dia skola yg skarang.. sort of new school... xramai budak... 1 sesi je.

last month ada pemilihan pengawas percubaan... utk jadi real pengawas masa darjah 3. bila tanya camne proses.. dia ckp cikgu kelas kasi nama.. adakah favoritism? i ada tanya if anak i boleh jadi pengawas.. then dia ckp tahun depan. dahla konsep KSSR/PBS... koku yg mcm tah pape.. pastu pengawas pun xdapat... i'm more worried camne nak masuk sekolah menengah nanti. i taknakler depend 100% on education saje.. activiti sampingan nih yg lagi banyak membantu. i'm comparing against myself... pengawas sejak darjah 2 sampai ting 5 and holding lots of other position dlm koku.. xnakler karenah cikgu nih buat masa depan anak i terganggu.

iskh... camne ek? ikut ati rasa nak tukarkan skola jek. huhu... ok ker?

harimau76

anak I std 2 KSSR and still sekolah dia buat exam mid year and final.. still bg numbering and akan ada naik or turun kelas... I tak rasa cikgu leh bg evaluation yg betoi kalau ikut sistem kSSR betoi2.. byk jer budak2 peringkat ni sgt nakal..dalam kelas pun bukan jenis pendiam.. termasuk la anak I.. itu hari ada jer aku kena amik report card and cikgu masih update pencapaian based on mid year exam and dia dpt number brp..

Ira,

Pendiam means dia obedient in class, tak buat bising, tak buat kacau. Your next question shud be, anak you active and participate tak in class during any class discussions. Takda rekod. Tanyala cikgu apa kat kertas sehelai tu. If total marks, then tanya apa total mark anak you. Takda kasik numbering ke. takde kasik ranking ke. If takda, u Tanya apa highest total marks in class. Tanya apa lowest total mark in class. from there you can agak2 anak u number brapa. If nak tau ranking, tanya what is the total highest in std2, what is the total lowest in std2.

If cikgu tu layan, tanya lagi the same thing for every subject.

Kadang2 cikgu kelas takda info, kadang2 cikgu yg ada info is the cikgu in charge of the whole std 2 or Guru Panitia. If you rajin, ask their names, carik cikgu2 ni.

Favouritsm by cikgu kelas utk nominate pengawas? Biasalah, we parents cant do much about it. What you can do is tgk apa category cikgu kelas pilih pengawas. Selalunya must have good exam results n also berani. Tapi tak semua budak kelas A boleh jadik prefect. Ada aja budak kelas C yg berani jadi prefect. Selalunya budak yg ramah dgn cikgu, suka tolong cikgu senang dapat.

Competitions for Tahap 1 tak byk. Tapi ada lah jugak. Mac, selain dari koko in school, mac ambil initiative send kids for outside classes mcm taekwondo n swimming. So koko luar sekolah pun ada. (bab ni sek suka, coz sek tak train tapi anak you masuk competition n naikkan nama sek) check with what is available in your area plus what cmpetitions yg available. In my area now its tennis. Tapi zaman anak i dah lepas hehe

So mcm my eldest mmg sarat dgn competitions. Masa std 4 cikgu tanya, siapa pandai swim, stay back. So mmg untungla org dah tau swim. Sek takda masa nak train unless the school ada pool sendiri. Itu advantage hantar classes luar. Add those certs to competition biasa yg cikgu pilih.... mmg byk. Selalunya cikgu akan pilih budak2 kelas A. Senang for them sbb if termiss kelas ke apa, no issue.

Mcm my no2 byk sangat bakat. Sampai i had to tell the teachers to please jgn pilih anak i lagi. They agreed. Yelah, sampai satu hari boleh sekali 2 competitions. Both teachers taknak lepaskan my girl, last2 i yg kena jadik F1 driver pecut kereta from one school to another school. After that i told my girl, jgn masuk lagi audition apa2. Teachers pun agree. Then the next week, ada audition, my girl tak pergi audition. Tup2 cikgu panggil jugak my girl suruh masuk. Adoi, fening.

Anak no3 ok jugak koko dia. Tebal jugak cuma takda sijil antarabangsa mcm kakak. Yg no4, sek lain, sek tu tak seaggressive as sekolah kakak in koko. So the private classes i sent amat membantu. He has quite a number kebangsaan certs.

Nak tukar sek? pada mac, sebelum anak register for std1, perlula check sek mana betul2. Mac hantar my kids sekolah jauh sangat. But i want them to go to the best schools plus ada racial mix. Tapi my fren pulak style dia lain. Dia saja pilih sek luar bandar (tapi still in bandar) near her house.  Aim dia nak anak ada sijil byk so that senang masuk SBP. Dalam sek luar bandar, koko tak gah sgt la sek tu, tapi sbb anak dia berani n pandai english, mmg segala jenis jawatan n pemilihan, anak dia dapat. Mmg bestla. Eg, kat sek tu, cikgu kena paksa n pujuk utk masuk choral speaking. Kat sek anak i, punyala susah nak masuk choral speaking. Parents siap main kotor n ada jumpa Guru Besar just sbb nak anak masuk.

Kawan mac tu, menjadik jgk tactic dia, in the end masuk SBP jugak. Tapi dia tak harapkan competition sek sbb sek slalu kalah. Sijil anak dia tebal semua based on sijil2 yg dia hantar private classes tu.,

So... up to you to choose
