A bit off topic. I make my kids kneel before me each year during CNY. Teaching them how to respect their parents. Old fashion? Anyone doing it?

I think this is a good tradition. Well done! but up to what age?

I was hoping somebody here will tell me!! LoL! :rotflmao:

If you weight more, may be you can be a better sumo wrestler, if you weight less, may be you can jump higher or run faster?

But many parents think their sumo wrestler to jump higher and run faster too!

Hahaha, yes I agree many parents are doing that,

But I will not be a fool to walk up to a sumo wrestler and ask him to jump or run, because the next thing I know I will be flat as a pancake :rotflmao:

And these parents will suffer the same fate as me for being such a fool

Unfortunately, there are many who see GEP as the ultimate 'prize' in the pri school journey...

Probably an added feather in the cap - your resume will look nicer with a GEP status, depending on the type of jobs you want in future. You can't blame parents for wanting the best for their child. You would too, at different stages

We must be realistic lah, gep also must complete up to secondary school wat. adding point? Dont think so leh, Maybe to 1st job or initial years, not thereafter. People count on the brain and attitude of graduate. :heresmyfish:

Ok ok, GEP is just to tell you that your child is able to learn the skills of Math, English language at a faster rate as compared to other children, so they put them in this special place to let them learn Math, English etc at a faster speed. So that they won't use the extra speed in their processor to create havoc for the whole society

However, I do support the argument that some forumers raised earlier. To take up citizenship if a foreign student is admitted to gep.

Actually, if you scroll back, I was the one who suggested MOE set a criteria of making the child take up citizenship before starting GEP classes. LoL.

Thanks for agreeing with my views and letting me post

Eventually the child will, I guarantee you, we are mature enough to know the probability.. tyeogh don't be so kiasu lah to make this as criteria. :rahrah:
