Teacher's salaries might be part of the problem, but if they did get increases would that change their commitment to educating the kids.

A couple of my kids are falling behind in Khmer class, and instead of giving them extra attention or additional homework, the teacher keeps suggesting that she could come to our house to teach them an hour a day (for the same price we are paying the school). Oddly enough, this very same teacher also taught at a previous school that my kids attended, and she did the same thing there as well.

there was once i told my staff about an element in the periodic table, they looked at me as though i was talking jibberish, i mean come on, periodic table is pretty basic dont you think, i cant recite the whole periodic table but at least i heard of it, math, science, arts, moral studies, language i think those are the basic that any schools should cover

Make those ninnies learn THE PERIODIC TABLE SONG by heart ...

There is a FAR older Tom Lehrer version to the tune of "The Very Model of a Major Major-General" - also on YOUTUBE

The Lehrer version

I heard this first in my very early teens. Much later I knew a man who went to school in sunny Neasden with Graham Young,
the Thallium poisoner

Is there some reason why we should know the periodic table? What is the benefit to our daily life?

I assume that if you are "paying the school" that this is a private school. Her tutorial proposal sounds like an extension of public school rien kua
except overpriced.

UserNameTaken raises a valid question, but the same question can be asked about knowing flags, having maps in one's head, recalling the counties of Ireland or the provinces of Canada and so much else ... you can test your memory and see how many brain cells have died since 2015 - attempting to list all American states and omitting Wisconsin, then listing all the counties of Ireland and omitting Westmeath ... and all the countries of the EU, or the members of NATO or the nations of the old Warsaw Pact or ASEAN ... or the provinces of Cambodia
