Elite teachers skip chapters, putting pressure on parents

Some elite primary schools were found to be teaching students with textbooks of higher grades to push their learning boundaries. A mother has to spend more time on homework for her Primary Two son, who attends a private school in Kowloon Tong as he is being taught in class with Primary Three textbooks. These parents are reportedly under increasing pressure as they have to revise classes with their children at home as teachers often skip chapters to speed up teaching and ask students to self-study them at home.
