I see tweets on pandemic learning loss as well as arguments against retention.
I decided to delve into this and see if I am able to contribute a few of my thoughts.
My first student who could not even read a single sentence
when he came to me for tuition in 2004 was sent to a private school, SMK Simon
Fung. The school would only accept him if his parents accepted him to be placed
in grade one. That was when he was sent to me for private tuition. LINK
It was not easy teaching him and I tried all the different methods I could think of.
