I agree with Trebuchet t...Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />I agree with Trebuchet that having a spare language is a good thing. Those who do well in it will benefit. The issue is to what extent it should disadvantage those who do not do well, and whether it should act as a barrier to advancement.<br /><br />Which brings me to Little Eastern Heretic's question. For obvious reasons, every student should be given a good foundation in Maths and Science. But beyond a certain level, students should be given options depending on their interests. In our context, for example, you can opt to do the Humanities, and put less emphasis on Maths and Science. Whether you advance or not will then be determined by the choices you have made.<br /><br />Further, to have one subject pull down your overall score is one thing; to require that you achieve a minimum grade for a particular subject in order to advance is another. The latter was what I faced in O-Levels.<br /><br />Mr Udders, thanks!

I mean that bilingualism should be built in, but like in the IB system, one should be allowed to choose one's second language and at what level (literary/elite, co-functional, beginner etc) one studies it. A spare language is always a good thing, and learning it is a useful experience if done right.<br /><br />I am struck by our similarities. I too did badly and failed my AO Chinese even though I took it three times in JC. Heh.Trebuchethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985664863838276012noreply@blogger.com
