Physics and chemistry are taught in the 7th grade but there are no labs. The learning methodology is based on rote learning, not critical thinking I find unknown in our local rural schools.taabarang wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 2:24 pm "The new approach is for teachers not to teach everything in regular classes.

Nonsense, it's not new at all. It's been going on since Christ was a corporal in God's army. The locals call it 'rien kua."

Too young.
He likes them with saggy moobs, liver spots and a hint of death, despair and quiet desperation wafting about them.

Indeed, confirmed. Explorer's explanation has a few minor details not being totally correct.taabarang wrote: ↑Sat Jan 26, 2019 2:24 pm "The new approach is for teachers not to teach everything in regular classes.

But what I don’t get is the half day classes in the public schools. Students either have morning classes or afternoon classes. Meanwhile in western schools, class is from morning until afternoon or evening. How can the same amount of material be taught in half the time?

Dunno, but the schedule fits in well with the trinket selling kids on Riverside.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 4:53 am But what I don’t get is the half day classes in the public schools.

They can fit the same amount of material in half the time because the class sizes are twice as large as in western schools.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 4:53 am But what I don’t get is the half day classes in the public schools.

Those are part time students. Some families cannot afford to send their kids to school full time or they need them to come home to work part of the day. Just like college for westerners, it will take them longer to graduate.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 4:53 am But what I don’t get is the half day classes in the public schools.

In private schools here, the kids take all the regular history, science, English, Khmer and math classes But they take they Take English versions of those subjects AND the Khmer versions. So they have 2 math classes, 2 History classes, etc.. Most go to school full time which includes a half day on Saturday. Their homework is through the roof and they work very very hard. They have far more than what is put on a western student in the US.
I know of a girl that is in a 6th grade class in private school full time and is homeschooled for the 7th and 8th grade at night.
Still here, in country...
