One forumer shared that English Domain in RGS contains 15 girls. Some girls tend to talk a lot without giving chance to other girls. This shows that facilitators are lousy, do not know how to control the class.


Worst to worst, ask the person who talks so much to SHUT UP (it is usually dominated by one of the races). This is not being rude but survival. Don't need to be well-mannered or raise hands, just interrupt whosoever wants to talk. Otherwise, the chances to be selected are slim, if the 'quieter' girls chose to be quiet and let the 'noisy ones' to win the race.

Are you referring to my earlier post about the English test? It's not that some girls don't give chance to others, just that the talkative ones tend to get carried away. After all, they are only 12yo kids. I also don't think you can blame the teachers. If they are too controlling, it will frighten the girls and they won't be so open in discussion. From what my daughter told me (and she is one of the not-so-talkative ones), the teachers did step in to give shyer ones opportunities to talk. I also think we need to give the teachers some credit for recognising substance and intelligence, whether it's from someone who talks a lot or someone who talks less, as long as the girl doesn't keep total silence thoughout. I wouldn't recommend telling a child to say 'Shut up' to another student - she will probably lose her chance for bad manners!

Two years ago, after my girl finished her interview (Maths, RGS), she also said that the other two Indian girls in her group were very talktive, she only managed to talk few words only, but finally she also got offer from RGS. So parents, please don't worry, I think teachers know how to do.

Still pending notification for RI Science domain

No clue if not-shortlisted ones will be sent notification or not?

No worries, they might send out email later today.

I don't receive either and in case shortlisted, it will clash with HCI coming Sat selection test as well and i don't have valid reason to request reschedule, difficult to decide which one to go.

Same situation, told by my friend, based on previous experience, normally HCI will finish 1~2 hours earlier than schedule, so still go chance to catch RI's selection test. All the best.

I still have not received email from RI (half-day selection test under Math domain). Does it mean that my DS is not shortlisted ?
