Mum Joins Band Practice, Trains Under Her Son: My Parent, My Classmate - Part 2 | On The Red Dot

[@RareRabbit365]

Janice is so chill as a mom which I think helps to develop the character of her son well

[@jianxiongRaven]

I like the guy. Got the firm attitude , also having no friends is better than being in wrong friend group

[@MichelleGoh83]

2:42 Mazni, thank you for sharing such a sweet story about Jovian. Shows a lot of good character traits of her. She’s probably hiding all these good in her to show to the right people.

[@raizan8493]

Frm my perception dnt judge the book or person's character frm the outside..she may be vocal or loud...but internal she have a gd heart...love to help ppl in needs...jovianne......dnt disheartened what yr peers...said abt u....be positive....listen to yr teachers..dnt rebel....study smart ya....be a gd students n help yr peers in need..dnt care what they think abt u..deep in yr heart u r sincere....God knws u more..trust me k.....one day u will be loved.....cherish by ppl that care abt u....trust me k....im a dad to a 8 yr old princess too...#YNWA...You will nvr walk alone....LFC Fan

[@AbdAz77]

I watched this episode when it came on channel 5 last week. It’s so sweet that Dian and Jovian are now friends. Yes students have different perspectives of their peers. It’s reality and sad that most don’t end up becoming friends like Dian and Jovian. A little intervention and Dian sees a different perspective of Jovian. Kudos to the production team and Mother Mazni for making this happen. There’s a moral to take back from here. Give your peers a chance and see what happens. If a friendship blossoms, cool. If it doesn’t, it’s ok, you tried. All the best Dian and Jovian. Also kudos to all other parents and kids for putting yourself through to show us a glimpse of secondary school life. I joked to my son that I should follow him for his JC lessons and he just laughed haha.

I remember my past as I saw Jovianne. Because i am mildly autistic, i was friendless and was bullied by many students and even the teachers back in primary school in johor, before i came to Singapore in 2010, and the bullying gradually ceased over the years. Plus, i find Jovianne resembles my mother, because my mother talks loudly and tough as nails, but she is one of the nicest persons I know by heart

[@ethanfinn-d6w]

Can't help but feel bad for Jovianne, she's being publicly humiliated at school and online....

[@sathingupta9443]

Fr… idek why they decided to do the interview I think it might just cause more harm

[@ethanfinn-d6w]

@@sathingupta9443 totally agreed, ig we'll see how it goes.

[@mysticery]

I know right. Wth. And the daughter still can say she's the most disliked - just because she is loud. Omg.. makes her the ass..

[@starshine9836]

Lack of knowledge and empathy to others doesn't show how bad is that person whom you dislike. It shows how you are as a person on how you treat them. Understand neurodivergent and neurotypical might help to understand why some people behave certain ways that annoys others (unknowingly). So please be more empathetic; knowledge is power. If you can't help the person, at least don't be a bully.

[@OhnoCuffie]

honestly, adding that clip in the video was a big no no. it could definitely hurt jovianne and she may be cyberbullied.

[@ColouredPixels]

she wants to get the highest in math but never read instructions then get angry at her mum hahahaha

[@RonLarhz]

dian mom is really dream mom. she is ganchiong for her daugther but doesnt micromanage n waited for her to approach instead n then gave the attention. stay strong jovianne. look at jeenieweenie and various popular youtuber. many ppl like these energetic individuals. as long as you do no harm, you dont have to care what those juveniles think.

[@russiasucks7170]

Why u racist?

[@Maggie_meee]

Janice seems so chill and cool she doesn't only care about grades too much but still encourage him to study but character as well

[@MichelleGoh83]

Please watch the full episode. There's always 2 sides to a story and we got to see Joviannne story here. Plus c'mon to all commenters, didn't you all face or see incidents where one person was singled out and left behind? No one did anything then. Mazni had a chance to see it happen in front of her eyes and she educated Dian the right thing to do. Dian did it and they both became friends at the end. Now that's an exemplary mother for stepping up when she saw something off. No one is perfect, neither are all of you. Everyone has a learning journey and so do you. So please stop finding fault in everything here and appreciate the learning journey 2 kids had through this show. Parents don't get to see the reality of their child behind their backs and the four of them here did. Instead of calling a child out, why not look around you and see if someone is left behind for any reasons? Why not give it a shot and talk to them and see? Know their story and react accordingly? Thank you Mazni, Jovian and Dian for showing us the truth of what is happening around us.

[@RonLarhz]

you did not do anything to help doesnt mean others dont.

[@bunbun9109]

​@@RonLarhz stop being in denial nobody helps them everybody has such a firm impression that they have to stay away from such people and its sad cause when when people avoid them the rest feel pressured to do the same. As someone who is a COMPLETE introvert and has been alone the few "friends" are kind extroverts who adopt me and these extroverts are usually these "loudmouths" theyre actually kind people at heart but of course because people avoid them they have the chance to know them on a personal level

[@wsant2872]

Janice is so cute 😆

[@michellemichelle2056]

Jovianne may have some mild sensory issues cos she talks loudly. Neutrodivergence is a spectrum (eg elon musk is autistic and says blunt things but he is also brilliant) and i hope that the schools can educate kids that some ppl act the way they act due to genetics its not deliberate and if everyone should be friends and be tolerant of any differences because of that. Kids are naturally jeery of those who are different because they don’t know why they are different. So educators should step up and help those kids out. dians mom is really wonderful and hope dian can continue to learn to be kind too as she grows up

“This is because education is not about competition with one’s classmates but learning through collaboration and teamwork with one’s peers,” he noted. Competition for top-ranked schools is unhealthy and has inflicted serious psychological damage, according to mental health professionals, on our children.

[@hlee2]

Poor upbringing of Dian and the parent is also responsible for the lack of empathy to shame a fellow classmate on national television.

[@emunahyosopov3945]

Jovianne has innate leadership skills. I believe that other students simply don’t understand it or don’t know how to handle that. Especially in cultures that are so polite and quiet. Jiovanni takes the initiative to step in and teach. She’s powerful

[@sugreevahuja4871]

You should not have aired Jovianne’s part, or should’ve atleast blurred her face and her name. Swing this broadcast on the net for the whole world to see can be traumatising for someone, not just in the present, but also in the future. And Dion is a rude, obnoxious child. Her mother should be more hands-on with her.

On using education to reduce inequality, Prof Tambyah pointed out that school- and class-ranking be scrapped. Schools will not segregate pupils according to their examination results.

[@starshine9836]

Have you tried teaching 2 students with totally different learning ability in 30min. Eg putting a 3 yo learning ability and a 7 yo learning ability together and learn the same topic. One has yet to learn ABC due to family situation, understimulate or poor understanding, the other is a regular cognitive ability and was able to read the whole book like others. putting them in the same class, teaching them the same content, I think that is not fair to either one. The understimulated one will be clueless and helpless, finding it hard to cope throughout the whole lesson. To teach easier content, the typical student is discounted for what they could learn more and find it boring. Even putting children with similar ability in a same class, the teacher will already have challenges to teach as individuals ability differs, but not as extreme when you put the '3yo' and '7yo' in the same class. Talk about 30 students in a class. It definitely would help if the class is segregated according to the students ability like what the schools are doing, subject based learning where some could take advanced subjects if they are better at certain ones, otherwise stay at the typical class or foundation class for the lesson that they has challenges in understanding.

The SDP believes that education must be the process where an individual learns to discover oneself and, in doing so, endeavour to improve the human condition. For the sake of our nation’s future, it is important that we teach our children that reading and learning can be enjoyable and intrinsically rewarding.

[@starshine9836]

So what's your proposal to do so?

[@PAPDoubleStandards]

SDP also proposes to abolish the PSLE, and this should be complemented by broadening the curricula and reducing the workload. He added: “Such an approach will enrich our students’ educational experience and prepare them for a future that will require them to be well-rounded, intelligent individuals.”

Here is my view after watching this episode (i did a long comment previously on the same series 2 to 3 years back). Currently a doing undergrad (local U), went through the whole climb of education system -Sha Ni In Singapore, is a meritocracy world. Having good portfolio will not get you into school but it will be possible by merit. Yes you can DSA but the chance of you getting it will be low. I previously did a lot to improve my portfolio and it didn't get me anywhere. Where as when i have a good merit score it was the one that open doors for me. -Shan Ni"s Dad Embrace the time required to burn mid-night oil. It will be worst when you enter university (not joking on this) -Arradana Raja's Mom What she said and display in class during the group project was right. It was Arradana that is defensive, group work is a must in all setting in education or work. Learn and embrace it, there is always be conflict but is a 2 way street. -Apelles's Mom No comments. overall what she said was right. She was experiencing it. -Dian's Mom The mom's view on jovial was right. For this episode i totally agree with the mom
