me too! i can cut down on the 1h+ of travelling to school and i feel like hbl helps me catch up with lessons better :) all the best for jc! (and even for As if you’re taking it this year^^)
I feel that CNA should expand the target age group not only focus on the primary or secondary ,maybe could get perspective from tertiary or college students.
Studied at home for over a year (excluding a few practicals last year and a short time we could return): Lectures take longer to work through. (Bad mic, bored etc) and they get uploaded later No questions possible/way harder EXTREME monotony. Feels like exam period for over a year. No thank you. Never again (Im in 3rd of 6 years of med school. My brother in geology (last bachelor year). We both had the same home studying
I hope parents FEEL and EMPATHIZE to teachers what it's like to be teaching their kids. If you cannot discipline your kids at home during learning from home situations, please do not expect teachers to totally control their kids. :)
i feel sad for the extremely poor families who even in food alone they struggle to provide for their kids(esp. in poor countries),what more a computer and internet...this mode of learning is not designed for everyone...
Agreed. HBL is not learning, it is discharging of liabilities and meeting education schedule for a year end KPI. Are school fees reduced due to the power consumption, laptops, space at home, classroom furniture, printer ink, WiFi etc. The media portrays a well set up HBL environment. Thank you sleazy KTV and rich men for playing a role in COVID virus spread.
As a tutor which uses HBL on laptops, I must say this method does not work for every kid. The said student must be disciplined and independent enough to carry out on their own. Some kids blatantly use their mobile phones, space out or tune out or simply could not focus on the lessons. These are some kids who need a human presence. The school's HBL is also not standardised. In the same school, I've heard different teachers may carry out their lessons differently. One student even confessed to me that lessons become slower because there is a limit to what can be taught online. I don't even want to go on and talk about the homework bit.
as a University Student I hate online classes, the lecturers teach a class of 80-120 student, there is no way to ask questions, and even if you are able to ask questions, its difficult to ask follow up questions since by the time you type out the question the lecturer has gone to a different topic or even question.
read the book boy... half the time... you had to know about the subject before go to class... University is not the same as school.. they don't hand deliver thing for you... since it now more like fight to the death...
@@campkira About 70% of classes throughout my uni experience do not use the book but require it be purchased. The only benefit is most of the time you can find the information online and professors recycle or buy their tests. With online classes, you're not really learning because you can cheat your butt off. This is especially true in classes that transitioned to remote learning because of the pandemic. The only expectation is in paper/report based classes.
@@campkira idk how it is for you...but i have professors that cover the important topics in lectures, so i pretty much learn only with those and books only on occasion. So i DO need to be in class. And the questions really are harder to get answered. And no, no 1-1consultation (try that with 400ppl)
I think if they interviewed JC students, the parent will find that its vastly different due to the fact that lessons are split into lectures and tutorials, and students tend to be more disciplined
Excellent episode .... Diana did a great job and lots of viewers now have concrete understanding about HBL .... Next Talking Point please assign Diana to interview Social Distancing Officer and all the factors, aspects and life surrounding social distance measures .... I believe many Singaporeans are looking forward for this kind of episode.
As poly students next week theres a test, end of month theres 1 coding project submission , 1proposal writing submissions, , next month 2 writing need to submit. Not all home environment is comfortable for everyone to study in.
all our school work is self assessed, our big exams are also cancelled so most people are only studying what they didnt finish in school for their A-level options. :) Im in the uk
Our online class ended 2 days ago, now we have an exam next week... I honestly don't know what to do, it's hard to study online and its even harder to have an exam right after you come back to school, and on this Friday, I'll be retaking 4 exams from 4 different subjects because I failed them last semester... So much stress.
Laur drawz I’m here in the U.K too all my kids under age of 10years old ;) I’m strict on them not the last one he is in reception :). Sometimes I don’t understand some tasks the teachers put online since I’m French not British so I go on you tube and learn then I teach my kids. I have only boys and they are hard to teach. But I do enjoy seeing them succeed the task alone now ;)
i dont understand why people are always so worried about psle bc its not the only national exam that is still going to happen. plus it's not that crucial either & it's merely just the first stepping stone every singaporean kid will have to take. there are also olevels and alevels too which i feel is much more crucial
Here in the U.S. my 10 year old son learns on a similar platform.The difference appears to be that he is required to have daily zoom meetings with teachers to be counted for attendance.He meets 4 times a day with these teachers , so there is plenty of face time and teacher student interaction. The only drawback is the teachers only meet for 30 minutes each which I feel is not enough.
Nice one. Noticed the disciplined and those who thrive on tech online, do well. As parent, my sec2 thrived with HBL(he's usually too distracted in school to be productive). Teachers were surprised and giving positive feedback as they couldnt get that level of productivity out of him in school. While on the other end, educating via HBL, has worked quite well, been pretty productive but the lesson planning much more tedious in order to keep students hooked to your class.There are merits with HBL. But of course curriculum needs to be balanced with contact in person...one size never fits all. So from June, my sec2 will be distracted again when school reopens.. sigh.
HBL works well for poly imo. I feel its better for older students and not the younger batch of students, the amount of discipline you need during hbl is huge
About the sandbox thingy. Yes indeed. But it's not foolproof as well. You as a parent might secure your own PC but other childrens' parents might not do so or don't know how to do it. So hackers can go thru the ones that are not secured to hack into the platform. Theres no way to stop hackers if they are bent on hacking websites.
My kids have been at it for several weeks now and they enjoy it. The only stumbling block has been the teachers who have had a hard time adjusting to teaching online and using the new technology. I don't have discipline problems, they love through the assignments quickly and have time to explore more deeply the things that they really enjoy. The lessons are on video so they can go back and review if they don't understand. They can message teachers if they need more clarity. I act more as a manager, making sure things are turned in and complete. This works well for us.
As a uni student, I LOVE HBL, don't need to spend 4 hours travelling everyday, and I get to freelance/ rest better/ cook more with that wasted travel time
my HBL routine 7.55 wake up student wealth being (parents still be asleep) 8.00 follow my subject timetable (mum still sleeping) 10.30 hard copy work (takes years) 11.00-12.00 breakfast ("mum your finally awake") done. nobody asked 4 this so i just posted it.
Not going to comment about HLB but it did actually taught our kids to be flexible and educate them that 地球不是绕着我们转的， when things doesn't go our way, change our way.
This is one of the different learning modalities in our plans come June...it would be very difficult and challenging for teachers...parents and learners on how to go about this....its seems we are prepared technology wise but you cant really replace the teachers as the main technology....behaviour of childrens pose an overwhelming test to parents...its structures as a new set up...when parents have to work and children are left at homes by themselves...it poses many security risk...online preys and adult sites are easilly popping out..not to mention the number of children with gadgets ..smart/android phones and connectivity to access learning tasks and tools.... If this is the New Normal....lets just cross our fingers that worst things will not happen to our childrens education and their future....
For the Safety of our kids we put the computer and laptop in the living room desk so we can see what their are up too :) it’s important;) and we block lot of websites. Same about the TV you tube we block it until the task is done ;)
Peer influence or peer pressure is neutral and can be used for good or evil. The benefits of studying together with peers in the school or university, is your peripheral vision and sub-consciousness knows that others around you are studying (herd mentality) which indirectly motivate you to study. Humans are highly influenced by their environment and peers e.g. Singapore half-way houses for illegal drug addicts. Thesis? It’s not so simple to apply the above to work environment as type of work are vastly different between companies, between management and employees, between industries, between white or blue collar workers. For example, in schools, teachers can constantly regulate the students not to interrupt each other when doing deep learning or listening or thinking tasks. With open office concept, the manager is often not around (playing golf with his manager in view of his upcoming performance review), or when the manager is around, he can’t technically babysit each and every employee all the time to obey him like a dictator or parent. After all, we live in a democratic society and it’s financially advantageous to interrupt or disrupt job promotion competitors indirectly.

PSLE determines your secondary school and there are three streams still if I am not wrong. Either u finish 5 years of secondary school or you finish secondary school in 4 years and go to poly or JC or ITE. Technically if u flunk psle, u may need one extra year in sec or probably 2 extra years in ITE. That is why most parents worry. Not saying 5 years of sec sch is bad, but generally people will want to take shorter route
@@TAILSORANGEs Yea. I did badly but I still end up being able to enter university. Taking a longer route isn't that bad also. Better be able to catch up on class then to fall behind
HBL is a mess that MOE has no clue how to run properly. No standardising, no guidelines. Up to each school and the teachers to do as they like. My son’s primary school only had live lessons on the last week. A shambolic nonsense as far as I’m concerned
@@Notchmods Before the lockdown, my son's school did one single day "training" for HBL. All his teachers had issues mostly fighting with the setup and other organisational problems. In the following they did not do any online lesson anymore, only super-extended regular homework. After some time, some of them re-startet trying with online video lesson. Unfortunately the next day the security problems the with Zoom app occurred. Full screeching halt again. I always said don't use all this seemingly free US apps. In this case, the owner is a Chinese and the servers are located in China. But that's another problem. Anyway, there are free and better alternatives for video lessons. From that day my son had every day 6 - 8 hours extended homework, on some days he sat for 12 h. I complained to the teachers and got the reply, that the kids in the emergency class do the same in 4 h. Straight out: Impossible. If the homework is done in a proper manner, and not smear down the compo anyhow on a paper, an don't care to get the facts in your science right, then 4 h is outright impossible. I sat with him every single day, every hour, I know exactly what I am saying. 5 days before "extended homework HBL" officially ended, the teachers practically ended "lessons" already. I wrote another email, asking if over the "holiday" they could at least once a week have an online session, with the purpose to get the class having a bit time together and keep them a bit connected, bonded. Nothing. Did not even receive a reply. Initially I thought: No, that can not be the standard in Singapore, it is our school only. All parents I talked to said similar. And by the way, I was also shocked how many of the materials such as the papers and SLS contained mistakes. May be I am too much used to the government in Singapore usually organising all things to near perfection. This time I am only left to say: FAIL. Not pass.
@@krollpeter literally no person uses zoom they could have used platforms kids use like discord or teach kids how to use useful apps like Microsoft teams
@@ryanseow472 Ryan, how do you come to the idea that nobody is using zoom? Everybody is using it, including the Singapore government. Mindblowing, isn't it? A server in China, and only encrypted until it arrives at the server. I was speechless when I heard that. Zoom is not my choice at all. But if the school ask to use Zoom, will you lock your child out from it? Or Google docs? Or other things that are data suckers? So why do you explain that to me? I would use Jitsi, as an example. (also not suitable for government work)
@@krollpeter sorry I meant no one used zoom before the virus outbreak so it was illogical that suddenly so many schools began using it despite there being many better communication apps with more features and uses than zoom. personally, I am quite young not that close to relating to being a parent so I am not that impressed by encrypted voice files, images, and text files being sent to servers actually Whatsapp is pretty much that without the conferencing feature. To me, the zoom was only used because many teachers are not good with technology, zoom tends to be simpler to use but I feel that is bad as in a technology-driven age the fact zoom was suddenly used in many schools proves that tech literacy is still not that important in Singapore and not that good in general
There is no level field when it comes to HBL (online learning) - the disadvantaged becomes more apparently disadvantaged. The rich have better resources, a maid to feed the children when doing HBL, educated parents/adults who could afford the time and competency to assist in their work and the list goes on. The poor, rather than having the resources to support their children, had to be content with only making ends meet and are likely, habouring the fear of a job lost for the breadwinner in the family. Even with the govt doing their utmost to provide for the disadvantaged, the effects of the pandemic has certainly revealed who becomes further marginalised in this harsh reality.
No discipline... hbl only works if that person not easily distracted and dont have self discipline. If your child dont want to learn properly, then it means you didnt educate your child and didnt raised them well to be well mannered and independent. So do appreciate teachers efforrs🙃
Not necessarily. Some kids learn differently. Some kids have learning disabilities such as dyslexia or ADHD. That is not the parents fault and it doesn't mean that the child is " undisciplined" or " unfocused",it just means that they may need a different approach.
@@commercialgirl24 sorry but i made my points based on the video. None of these kids classified of having learning difficulties. It just the parents going too soft on their kids do what they want rather than just being a bit strict to their timetable. Thats why i said no discipline.
@@sisubalanselvan2619 I see your point, but you didnt say 'these kids" or the " kids in the video" ect. So I thought you were making a generalization. My apologies. By the way, even kids with no learning disabilities may need a different approach to learning.
It was basically super-extended homework. I am very disappointed. That was not prepared well, and executed poorly. I know you want to hear only happy comments. Sorry, no.
na... people just being kissass so their comment can be up the top.... the face is without teacher who had experince in subject... it like teaching kid with a robot... they not going to get it right away...
@@campkira reality is, if you can not verbalise what is not good, then you can not improve. Critic must be fair and founded. But if there is no critique and true evaluation? The questionnaire my son got from his school contained only positive answer choices. Everything good, learned a lot, all parents happy happy, school has done excellent, etc. etc. Do the earth a favour and do not waste the electrical power to operate a server for posting such questionnaires.
No offence to you but you can’t say it was executed poorly by government it is the school it self me and my brother both in secondary school had much more work and were up till 8 or 7 pm doing work normal to be honest and I feel that of your child is in primary school then yes they will have way much lesser homework
@@thiskeithlee The government had been talking about a online learning system after SARS but then nothing happened. Now everything was kind of rushed out in days. And then, the teachers passed the burden to the parents. The school where my son is gave an unbelievable amount of homework, so much that he sat many days fro 12 h. I sat together with him, a 10 year old can not teach himself effectively. And even we did so, we still got reminders by teacher "you did not hand in this or that". I wrote to the form teacher and she said the other kids can complete the homework in 4 h. I mean I sat with him, and I can know what is possible and what not. If you think that I am talking nonsense so be it, can't help.
Peter Kroll and we have made a system for it everything needs improvement overtime what is student learning space what is asknlearn also a sandbox is not really realistic for education they won’t be able to put the video calling apps and I am a student I know what is stress and also if your child is taking 12 bit others 4 then maybe there really is a problem also a student would spent would spent 6 to 7 hours in school lesson Time 12 hours minus 7 5 hours that Is used to do that days homework and revision
Nope.. Not gonna happen.. Not even gonna try.. Kids at my house are currently having the time of their lives.. And that's how it should be.. We're all treating this as a long holiday for them.. Totally ZERO school works.. Their parents (my elder sister and brother) are currently all in their kid's classroom's whatsapp group.. Teacher's are sending home work everyday and even sending youtube link for online classes.. Ignoring all of them as we speak... But we are training them on helping their parents and grandparents with simple daily chores at home.. What better time to let them feel how it's like to be an adult for a change.. In that case, when school reopens, they will learn how to appreciate what grown ups do for them everyday during their absence (in school).. This is the best time for life lessons 101..
I honestly quite like HBL, i’m in JC now so I guess it works better for older students! More time for me to study and lesser time spend on traveling!
me too! i can cut down on the 1h+ of travelling to school and i feel like hbl helps me catch up with lessons better :) all the best for jc! (and even for As if you’re taking it this year^^)
I agree tooo
I feel that I learn better at home than at school 😂😂😂
@D9INE LEGEND ayy same , what do u major in?
Andreana Goh I TOTALLY AGREE W U IM IN JC TOO its such a luxury to wake up 1.5 hrs ltr
OMG YES im also in JC and it was great cuz i got to wake up later than usual. but i still find it hard to learn from prereocrded lectures
I feel that CNA should expand the target age group not only focus on the primary or secondary ,maybe could get perspective from tertiary or college students.

Diana is a very loveable reporter. I like the way she presented the HBL stories. The children are cute and gave candid responses.
I totally agree with you. Diana is a sweetheart.

Delon Serino we do appreciate much more them ;)
There are times when kids obey their teachers more than their parents mostly from kindergarten and elementary.
That why we need to appreciate the teachers job;)

in fairness the only alternative is no learning
The schools are providing portable wifi and computers i think
My daughter is in Sec 2 this year and we have a $300 laptop. Most of the time, she is using her mobile for lessons. I leave everything to her.

I always said don't use all this seemingly free US apps. In this case, the owner is a Chinese and the servers are located in China. But that's another problem. Anyway, there are free and better alternatives for video lessons.
From that day my son had every day 6 - 8 hours extended homework, on some days he sat for 12 h.
I complained to the teachers and got the reply, that the kids in the emergency class do the same in 4 h. Straight out: Impossible. If the homework is done in a proper manner, and not smear down the compo anyhow on a paper, an don't care to get the facts in your science right, then 4 h is outright impossible. I sat with him every single day, every hour, I know exactly what I am saying.
5 days before "extended homework HBL" officially ended, the teachers practically ended "lessons" already. I wrote another email, asking if over the "holiday" they could at least once a week have an online session, with the purpose to get the class having a bit time together and keep them a bit connected, bonded. Nothing. Did not even receive a reply.
Initially I thought: No, that can not be the standard in Singapore, it is our school only. All parents I talked to said similar. And by the way, I was also shocked how many of the materials such as the papers and SLS contained mistakes.
May be I am too much used to the government in Singapore usually organising all things to near perfection. This time I am only left to say: FAIL. Not pass.
@@krollpeter literally no person uses zoom they could have used platforms kids use like discord or teach kids how to use useful apps like Microsoft teams
@@ryanseow472 Ryan, how do you come to the idea that nobody is using zoom? Everybody is using it, including the Singapore government. Mindblowing, isn't it? A server in China, and only encrypted until it arrives at the server. I was speechless when I heard that.
Zoom is not my choice at all. But if the school ask to use Zoom, will you lock your child out from it? Or Google docs? Or other things that are data suckers? So why do you explain that to me?
I would use Jitsi, as an example. (also not suitable for government work)
@@krollpeter sorry I meant no one used zoom before the virus outbreak so it was illogical that suddenly so many schools began using it despite there being many better communication apps with more features and uses than zoom. personally, I am quite young not that close to relating to being a parent so I am not that impressed by encrypted voice files, images, and text files being sent to servers actually Whatsapp is pretty much that without the conferencing feature. To me, the zoom was only used because many teachers are not good with technology, zoom tends to be simpler to use but I feel that is bad as in a technology-driven age the fact zoom was suddenly used in many schools proves that tech literacy is still not that important in Singapore and not that good in general
There is no level field when it comes to HBL (online learning) - the disadvantaged becomes more apparently disadvantaged. The rich have better resources, a maid to feed the children when doing HBL, educated parents/adults who could afford the time and competency to assist in their work and the list goes on. The poor, rather than having the resources to support their children, had to be content with only making ends meet and are likely, habouring the fear of a job lost for the breadwinner in the family. Even with the govt doing their utmost to provide for the disadvantaged, the effects of the pandemic has certainly revealed who becomes further marginalised in this harsh reality.
who else watches youtube & netflix when their parents go away
How much laptops do you haveeeeee I have a broken phone that I use for online classes :(
My professor is a complete boomer on the computer. Had to drop her class.
Are you American? #Justasking
@@TAILSORANGEs Yes. I'm happy to hear next semester that there will be a replacement. She was god awful. She was bad enough in lecture.
@@PimpMatt0 Ah.
@@PimpMatt0 Are you still on lockdown.
@@TAILSORANGEs Yes. Santa Clara. Fall is going to be online as well.
Lol waking up at 6 am? I wake up at like 5.20 am... sleep at 11pm
Easy! Minimise your tab and go to chrome and watch UA-cam all the way!
OR
Use your virtual background to pretend that you are paying attention!
what is the purpose of this coverage? to make everyone stress out?
CB period can go other ppl house ??? Anyway, you should interview those who are working from home and have preschoolers, it’s even more chaotic
that's why we respect teachers job#hbl
No discipline... hbl only works if that person not easily distracted and dont have self discipline. If your child dont want to learn properly, then it means you didnt educate your child and didnt raised them well to be well mannered and independent. So do appreciate teachers efforrs🙃
Not necessarily. Some kids learn differently. Some kids have learning disabilities such as dyslexia or ADHD. That is not the parents fault and it doesn't mean that the child is " undisciplined" or " unfocused",it just means that they may need a different approach.
@@commercialgirl24 sorry but i made my points based on the video. None of these kids classified of having learning difficulties. It just the parents going too soft on their kids do what they want rather than just being a bit strict to their timetable. Thats why i said no discipline.
@@sisubalanselvan2619 I see your point, but you didnt say 'these kids" or the " kids in the video" ect. So I thought you were making a generalization. My apologies. By the way, even kids with no learning disabilities may need a different approach to learning.
Why is she wearing shoes in the house ?
Not goona lie I love Hbl I learnt more compare to face to face
Where's the holy cane?
wow
exaggerate, mind your own children
It was basically super-extended homework.
I am very disappointed. That was not prepared well, and executed poorly.
I know you want to hear only happy comments. Sorry, no.
na... people just being kissass so their comment can be up the top.... the face is without teacher who had experince in subject... it like teaching kid with a robot... they not going to get it right away...
@@campkira reality is, if you can not verbalise what is not good, then you can not improve.
Critic must be fair and founded. But if there is no critique and true evaluation? The questionnaire my son got from his school contained only positive answer choices. Everything good, learned a lot, all parents happy happy, school has done excellent, etc. etc.
Do the earth a favour and do not waste the electrical power to operate a server for posting such questionnaires.
No offence to you but you can’t say it was executed poorly by government it is the school it self me and my brother both in secondary school had much more work and were up till 8 or 7 pm doing work normal to be honest and I feel that of your child is in primary school then yes they will have way much lesser homework
@@thiskeithlee The government had been talking about a online learning system after SARS but then nothing happened. Now everything was kind of rushed out in days. And then, the teachers passed the burden to the parents.
The school where my son is gave an unbelievable amount of homework, so much that he sat many days fro 12 h. I sat together with him, a 10 year old can not teach himself effectively. And even we did so, we still got reminders by teacher "you did not hand in this or that".
I wrote to the form teacher and she said the other kids can complete the homework in 4 h. I mean I sat with him, and I can know what is possible and what not. If you think that I am talking nonsense so be it, can't help.
Peter Kroll and we have made a system for it everything needs improvement overtime what is student learning space what is asknlearn also a sandbox is not really realistic for education they won’t be able to put the video calling apps and I am a student I know what is stress and also if your child is taking 12 bit others 4 then maybe there really is a problem also a student would spent would spent 6 to 7 hours in school lesson Time 12 hours minus 7 5 hours that Is used to do that days homework and revision
HAHAHAHA the boy v cute
Nope.. Not gonna happen.. Not even gonna try.. Kids at my house are currently having the time of their lives.. And that's how it should be.. We're all treating this as a long holiday for them.. Totally ZERO school works.. Their parents (my elder sister and brother) are currently all in their kid's classroom's whatsapp group.. Teacher's are sending home work everyday and even sending youtube link for online classes.. Ignoring all of them as we speak...
But we are training them on helping their parents and grandparents with simple daily chores at home.. What better time to let them feel how it's like to be an adult for a change.. In that case, when school reopens, they will learn how to appreciate what grown ups do for them everyday during their absence (in school).. This is the best time for life lessons 101..
I just realised mica is from my school hehe
