The teacher-student ratio issue

Today's newspaper reported that cluster schools demand teacher-student ratio at 1:20. I would like to say that this demand is not new. I still remember that I had fill in a set of questionnaires when I was still teaching at school in 1999. One of the questions asked teacher-student ratio that we prefer. I had chosen 1:20.That was few years ago but until now I do not know what action has been taken based on the action research. May be MOE has its own reason for the large teacher-student ratio. Whatever it is, this problem need to be solved to make our learning session become more effective.

From school to the world virtual community

THE WIRELESS THING
I just want to try out the wireless internet connection of this school (I'm giving tuition to the students). It's satisfactory. Thank you to SCHOOLNET and our MOE for providing us with this access even though severals access are blocked. This indicates MOE can avoid access to illegal and prohibited websites.Teachers should make use of this access otherwise it would be wasteful. There is no excuse for us to have least knowledge because the door to the knowledge is now opened without any barriers (except to the unnecessary knowledge)

TEACHERS' PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS
In this month there was a case where an ESL teacher hit her heeled shoe on her students' head. I chose not to discuss it (hey, I am discussing it now!). The only thing that I can say is, not only students have psychological needs but teachers also need them. So, think of it.
