      Hi Sallysara,


      I would like to know the following:

      1.) Do Temasek look after good students very much?
      2.) will the teachers push the students to the limits like giving lots of homework etc?
      3.) discipline & character building.
      4.) is this school made up of mostly rich men's kids as there are private houses arround?

      Thanks for your help in advance!
      1) Not really, students are treated equally...
      2) Depends on teachers and subjects, homework have a deadline. Primary school has all subjects everyday, while secondary school can have only 1 subject(applies for humanities) each week, which means you hand in your homework the next week. Thus, as long as you balance well, it is not really a lot of homework.
      3) There is good discipline and character building in the school as there is an hour in the week that teachers teach these.
      4) Im not sure about this. But I know that the buses to go to school are often filled with temasek sec students..so you can say only a handful live at those private houses?

                      257, NJC after appealing. Decimal points DO play a part.
