[isetan]

Very high chance 4, 5, 6 will get hit.

i am thinking appeal to NJC

My dd got 253. Any views as to whether putting Cedar O level as 6th choice is too risky? My choices 1 to 5 carry some risks


Cedar O level cop for the past years were:
2009… 244
2010… 246
2011… 248
2012… 249

Has any school’s (O level) cop ever jumped more than 3 points? Thanks

So moving on, I really hope my son will get to enjoy his school :xedfingers: and TEACHERS WHO TEACH. I am not asking for too much right ?
Ultimately, this is the REASON why our kids go to school.

I really wish this is the case. My boy who just finished Sec 1 this year - we had to get him a Math tutor halfway thru the year. And he improved significantly. And when I asked him why, he said he understands his tutor, but he doesn't understand his school teacher even when he approaches the teacher for clarification. And... his school teacher is always \"so busy\". Make appointment and 90% of the time don't turn up or is rushing to go off.

I think will need to get him a Science tutor soon too for Sec 2, so he can understand his school syllabus instead of bungling thru with school teachers.

*sigh*. when I was in sec sch, it was the school tr who helped me improve significantly. Not a tutor that we have to pay extra money to.

So that means sec and primary school is the same? Tutors, not teachers help child understand syllabus :faint: I am having my worries about son and whether he can cope with math and science. Die lah, 8-9 subjects.

Hi melodies,


You seen GEPers taking tuition in sec? Rare case or common in sight? Just curious to know.

[Melodies]

I have to be very careful with my words.

Sadly, I happened to know some GEPpers are attending tuition and heard some from others. I really can't comment whether it is a rare case or common in sight as I don't have the statistics.

That's why I'm asking parents to share their experiences..
