Studycoach Insights

1. We asked parents, students and
teachers to share their
experience of education

2. Here are our preliminary
findings

3. The school is
inconsistent
with the
values it is
trying to
instill.
“I haven’t run a
single Form
Teacher Guidance
period. I use it
to teach Science.”
- Teacher

4. Implementing a centralized
curriculum breeds a culture of
passivity
“I just receive content and pass it on. I
don’t think.”
- Teacher

5. Only what is
measured
matters, but
measuring
things changes
their original
purpose
“CCA is a great
platform for
social-emotional
learning, but
assessing it has
turned it into
something else.”
- Teacher

6. Teachers feel frustrated when they
don’t have time to teach what they
value
“All the important things have
been outsourced to vendors”
- Teacher

7. Parents feel they
have no choice but
to focus on
achievement, which
affects parent-
child relationship
“My son asked me,
‘Why do I need to
go for so much
tuition? Why can’t
you just teach me?’”
- Parent

“I surf the internet
for 7 hours a day. I
like to go to online
forums and argue
with people there.”
