Mdm Yip had over 15 years of primary school teaching under her belt along with a reputation for being a strict disciplinarian. As an English and math teacher, she was both feared and respected, having taught the best classes. Despite being more than qualified, Mdm Yip achieved little success in training her own child.
Her son, Zhao Ming, was a bright boy in the Gifted Education Programme (GEP). His results had been average on overall, and Mdm Yip definitely felt he could do much better. However, she had a very hard time getting him to do the work she assigned.
For instance, a composition assigned since September was still incomplete as of March. We can only imagine all the weekly nagging along the way. On another note, science was also not Mdm Chew’s forte, and she had a hard time asking her science colleagues for help in certain questions.
From a classmate’s parent, Mrs Chew knew about Fun Learners School. Its teachers not only had the experience of catering to GEP students, but more importantly had its way of motivating learners to do their practices. After trying out a few lessons, she ended up tagging her elder daughter from IB along in the secondary classes.
