Went to school freaking early this morning for my first formal face-to-face lesson of the 2 modules I'm taking for my course this semester. As you can see from the photo above, it was 9 deg C!
Wasn't sure of the expectations of the supervisors of the course but it turned out alright. Including some part-timers and a couple of other MA (Education) students, there were about 6-7 people taking each module.
Anyway, the session was pretty long. But turned out quite ok. There was sharing of reflections from our readings, our own experiences, and our opinions.
I never realised that Singapore was actually really very far ahead in terms of technology and equity in education. Although, yes, there are issues on selection, meritocracy and our school league tables, but in general, it is a pretty fair system and doesn't bar anyone from a good education based on family background or the ability to pay.
