Ryan here.
Ok, the lessons are definitely different from how it is conducted in Singapore. Firstly, the reacher talks much less as they mainly use videos, either on televison or on the computer(using a projector of course.) to educate the class. They have a much more independent learning as they have to scribble down notes while watching the video and when the teacher talks. In our school, not many people do that as we know that notes would be printed out for us. Even if we do copy, it will be because of the our teachers forcing us to do so ( except for a few angels which score ever so high marks) , unlike the students in Melbourne, they do it voluntary, the teacher does not need to keep remininding them to take down notes, and those that are not sensible enough to copy just lose out, greatly. The teachers here also do talk much less then in Singapore. Well, the schools here focus on a more skill based and independent learning.
Similarities? Well, they do have students and teachers like us, yeah. Oh! and they use tables and chairs and projectors. Thats about it i guess. I may be wrong though.
Students in Singapore definately need to adopt the marvellous note taking skills that the melbourne students have instilled in them. This will surely increase their ability to study much better for the exams.
Ok, O Wen is calling me to go up to my room, i cant go up without the key, so i have to go now. NO CHOICE, NOT MY FAULT OK, I HAD MUCH MORE TO SAY!
