      stetan (aka ryanryan and ethanethan as su
      spected by other forummers), jetsetter, grandypa (aka chip and dale or crester) ( most have suspected based on the bluntness and lousy english used and jetsetter confirmed last 2 are same person too) should retreat to their own sngs/chs pri-ejc and sngs-nyjc quarters. Stop barking around like mad dogs that will result in euthanasia being performed on you.

      Im not involved in this discussion.
      Im not Grandypa. Please dont mix me up with Grandypa or mistaken for those forummer.
      Thanks.

      Grandyma:

      [quote=\"EthanEthan\"]Actually, EJC has 4 dress-down days too where the students can come in their polos and berms. Only on Mon do they need to come in full uniform.


      Bear in mind that if the college starts later, it will end later too and the child will come back to home very much later.

      EJC starts at 8pm ( which I think is quite a good time) and there are chartered buses at major mrt stations ( eg Bishan, Serangoon e.t.c) to fetch the student direct from MRT station to JC. It sure saves a long on travelling time.

      You promoting EJC so do it in EJC forum, please.
      Dont assume college starts later and will end very much later too. No substantial fact about it. Dont assume.
      Between 8 am to 8.30am, not very much difference in timing.

      I am just citing an example that it is common now for JCs to have dressed down days and late start. As I know EJC well, I cited it as an example. Janet did allude to the fact that HCI also start late on certain days .Do you need to be so vexatious?

      Not too sure what you mean by no difference in 8am and 830am. Fact is, the JCs have a fixed syllabus to complete. you start later, you have to end later.

      And if you are afraid that mentioning EJC here may \"siphon\" away potential students to NYJC ( which I think is a ridiculous assertion), please rest assured. I think the goals of EJC are set way much higher than just competing with the likes of NJYC.[/quote]It's ok to post about EJC dressed down day here.
      But you mentioned about NYJC starts later and will 'end very much later'. Then you mentioned that EJC 8am starting time (you think) is quite a good time ( that's your view ). So you sing praise for EJC and downplay NYJC starting time.
      There is no need to pass such comment. You said something and yet have another meaning.

      In your latest post, Now you mentioned college will 'end later'. Your previous post was 'very much later'. Changed your words often.
      Don't Assume.

      Nobody here is afraid EJC 'siphon' students. Dont Assume again.
      Just that, the news about EJC you posted showed you are hard selling EJC.
      Whatever you think the high goals EJC set,
      post in EJC forum.
      Just dont assume.

    • RE: River Valley High School [*IP]

      Persimmon:
      Guess if compare with RI, its not as good. But I think should be comparable to NJC or TJC? I do hope they catch up and perform as good as Dunman High in A level since they are both schools that started out as sec school.


      However I do feel the homework for Chinese is alot more than other subjects. I am also worry if the time spend on building the foundations for other subjects will then be neglected.
      RV 2016 'A' Level results is not too bad- 31% scored minimum 3H2 Distinctions but is a slight dipped compared to 2015 results.
      As to RV results comparable to NJC and TJC? NJC 2016 'A' Level results are better than RV.
      NYJC 2016 A level are results better than RV too.
      But RV results is better than TJC.

      Dadabear:
      Disappointed with RV 2016 A Level results. Heard that some subjects are below national standard.

      Year 2015, RV got 32.06% with minimum 3H2 distinctions with a pass in GP.
      This year is 31%.

      Crester, is this the post you are referring to? http://xinminsec.moe.edu.sg/xss/highlights/former-students-of-xinmin-secondary-done-well-in-2016-a-level-examinations

      This looks like a solid piece of evidence that a non-IP school can also produce students with excellent results, especially if it value-adds. Congrats to these graduants :congrats:

      Congrats to XSS former students who had done well in their A levels.

      Although the distinctions listed are a combination of both H1 and H2 subjects, all the pupils should be lauded for their tremendous effort put in. XSS is certainly proud to have instilled the value of conscientiousness in continual learning among its pupils.

      It seems like the bulk of the top pupils of XSS had chosen NYJC, maybe due to proximity. XSS has a small pool of PRC and Asean scholars and I can relate some names from the list.

      This post I read and need to comment about you.
      What's your actual purpose of yr message here.
      2nd paragraph- 'ALTHOUGH' the word you used.
      Yes, distinctions listed can be both H1 n H2, you need not highlight this fact. Just
      congratulate the pupils will do.
      3rd paragraph- 'Top pupils of XSS had chosen NYJC maybe due to proximity'.
      What makes you so sure is this reason they chose NYJC? Why don't you mention
      pupils chose NYJC due to its academic standard as well. Don't assume it's
      proximity reason and keeps stressing it. If want to say, say maybe due to proximity
      and NYJC standard.
      - how you so sure some names are PRC and Asean scholars?Assume again.
      - what's wrong with PRC and Asean scholars? Don't discriminate though you didn't
      comment about them but don't need bring them in your post.
      Be gracious and just say XSS and NYJC have taught these Top pupils well.
      You are that kind of person people always say \"double faces\"- say something yet have double meaning in your words.
      I finished my saying. Don't want to discuss more.
