 Increasing burden

A lot of paperwork is involved, directly increasing

the burden on teacher
Short of time to teach and to do paperwork at the
same time
Under the KSSR program, teachers need more time
to interact with students, yet the paperwork has
increased rather than decreased. People find it
hard to understand the rationale indeed.
 Problem on how to do internal
assessment
Many teachers feel lost on the evaluation criteria even after the briefing, and are also not
clear on how to complete the evaluation forms.
unclear working relationship between the education ministry and the exam syndicate that
left teachers unsure as to what was expected of them.
Teachers felt they were being left in the dark and shortchanged. Instructions were a blur.
teachers need to know what is expected of them.
With clear benchmarks and marking/grading systems in mind, teachers will be able to
help parents understand how students can apply the knowledge gained and therefore
obtain marks accordingly.
Agree Kssr too jarring,

However, I have 2 concerns over how higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are measured. As
we are attempting to measure HOTS through written language, we might be increasing
the linguistic complexity of the tests and making them more abstract (hypothetical). This
might further alienate students who are not verbal linguistically inclined, but are able to
demonstrate similar understandings non-linguistically, for example, through visuals or
hands-on experiments. Additionally, the increased linguistic complexity of the tests might
create a language barrier for students with limited proficiency in BM who might be able
to perform more favorably in their first language

score the answer.

Society A invisible stress for teacher
Our children are more than the sum of their exam results. Yet for a majority of families in
Malaysia who live our lives struggling with an ever tightening economy and witness
dwindling scholarship funds, we instinctively know that the amount of As our children get
will increasingly determine their future trajectory. Thus, we are forced to squeeze our
children through the education grinder in order for them to come out of the machinery as
perfectly A-shaped products for quality inspection by scholarship boards, colleges,
MARAs, SBPs, employers, family members, & gossip aunties.
I agree with mdm tan as I also found that ppl cant finish the exam.
Agree Areflect yourself as a teacher.
Get parents involve in their study to kssr.
Agree, every teacher commited to the job.
 Students academic pressure

it should not increase the student's academic

pressure. It is best if it could meet the needs of
KSSR interactive and fun teaching objectives.
Personally, I think that primary school is a time for
our children to fall in love with learning. When
they experience success in small ways and find
learning pleasurable, they naturally become life-
long learners and will likely perform better in all
aspect. However, our society's fixation on As has
made the pursuit of A-piness the primary purpose
of learning which, in turn, puts stress on our
children & sucks all the pleasure from learning. You
& me, weve experienced it firsthand (unless youre
atas or kaya).
