Seeing some wise postings from kiasuson and verykiasu2010. Good work!
It doesn’t mean that top classes have the best teachers whether in RI or any other schools. Just leave those good memories and experiences behind your kids’ primary schools. You are thankful for that but must remember is over and your kids are starting on the same point as others. Do not be overly concern of the class postings. Its never significant at all!
Once your kids are in yr 3, it all depends on their inclination and passion. After all, the most important exam they will be taking is still the A-level.
At A-level, which jc a kid is from and whether gep or not has no correlation to his scholarship or uni application.
Interviewing boards depend on the competitive merits of each candiate. Nothing to do with gep, IP or non-IP. -
thankyou kiasuson,verykiasu 2010 and Innovate- maybe as parents we do overreact as we want the best for our children. But like all of you mentioned, PSLE is history, an access point through which our children are in one of the best schools in the world.
I certainly was impressed more by the seniors ( Sec 4s especially ) than by the grandeur of the surroundings. And I thought in my mind, yes this is how I would like my DS to be- respectful, humble, polite and pleasant. My DS too was very impressed with his PSLs and like what the Principal said in her speech on Registration Day they do take in "our boys and give us back wonderful young men" whom we should definitely be proud of.
We consider ourselves blessed to have had this opportunity and we have told DS to enjoy himself giving equal emphasis to studies, CCAs, ECAs, friendships. -
...giving equal emphasis to studies, CCAs, ECAs, friendships. well said.
i am sure the road ahead will be a fruitful and rewarding journey. it is during the farewell assembly, when the school flash back pictures taken during the cohort milestone (esp the orientiation pictures) that the boys themselves realise how much they have grown.
good luck!blessedami:
