New SEA syllabus...requires students to do an indian dance

[silver]

Apparently the new syllabus attempts to incorporate different aspects of life to try and foster a more 'well-rounded' student.
Some of the requirements include drama, art expression and congeniality awareness (manners?)..different requirements for different grades...


Just found this out about this from a friend..after a PTA meeting...anyone else with kids around this age heard?

[TRAE]

wtf is this sheit... any validity?

[Habit7]

Well if it is true and you dont want you child to learn, don't send your child to a school where there are trees. You cant have a proper bollywood dance without swinging/hiding around a tree.

maybe you edited your post so as to not reflect the "Indian dance" part but change the topic as well nah

either way; i really don't think the authorities are crazy enough to allow "Indian dance" to be part if the syllabus.
however drama, art expression etc is a good thing

i just edited to include more information...the part about the indian dance is still true...
teachers said they had to attend a 2-day workshop on how to teach it.

hmmm i eh gettin chess burn...i jus wanna find out more facts from ppl that have kids around std 3-5 since they probably have to get familiar with the new syllabus...as i heard it, the indian dance was not an elective. The parents were informed that the child HAD to perform an indian dance (child is male btw), i found it strange that's all...wanted some corroboration from d tuner community incase is jus that school that pulling a gimmick!
d WTN comments an ting aside...I have nothing against teaching indian dance in school...as an elective...as a compulsory element that determines which secondary school your child goes to?
On another note however, i'm glad to see greater emphasis on other aspects of development of children such as arts. Include some Pan and theatre while dey at it!

[TRAE]

so basically its not only indian dance --- thats just one of the options---- and you toting?


do you usually jump the gun and get people to jump with you

[rollingstock]

They need to also incorporate classic indian singing.

Never know we may have a next Mohammed Rafi in our midst.

Make dem dance and change fackin lightbulb!!!
Mix up de fackin country some more.
Anyone of one race not liking their kids take part in another race's culture is racist!
No excuses. I don't care, you're racist. I not taklin about religion eh, thas a whole different story.
Maybe in 20 years we'll have more well behaved citizens who don't care about race.
That goes both ways eh.
I thought the majority of the racist cnuts were over 50 and on their way out. Was ready to say good riddance. That whole fiasco in Tobago show other wise.
