My boy chose his own school. We have no influence whatsoever. You mean your parents chose your school for you at your age?

Yalor ... I agreed with phankao ... my girl chose her own school, I have no influence whatsoever (actually, I tried to influence but to no avail .... hahahaha).

And I also didn't know that NJC is known as a language based school, xxjustakidxx, where did you read that from ? :?

I also wonder, bc I only know they have Accelerated Math programmes & the STAR programmes for Science. Do they have something for languages?

Anyway what's the big deal? his classmates did about the same standard in the tests as him ... or worse.

Got projects, ah??? I know he has MEP project , but that's only due after CNY. And he said must do language arts projects - many books to read too.

Wah, your boy do MEP ? So lucky you got a gifted boy ... What instruments he play ?

Quite normal lah. He plays the violin. NJC has it's own music programme although it's not a MOE MEP center. Rather he do that than 3rd lang where he has to travel, lor.

:? :? I did not hear him say got projects other than the Amazing Race leh. Is it the one you are referring to? Did not ask if it is completed. He's in charge of preparing the cover page illustration which he completed on the next day that week. He only mentioned the group has discussed what to do n the other members are working on it. Very standalone type of operation mode. Hardly see him talking over the phone to do discussion, let alone online chat whatsoever.

The books to read, are they from a given list? Again, he did not mention this project, just say the teacher told them to prepare themselves for a test this week.

Just a thought: does the type of learning profile dictates the nature of workload?

I heard from sources that it is better at language, as a rather \"English school\". The same applies for RI and Victoria which are both thought to be proficient in English, and for HCI and NYGH to be better in Chinese.

I think you \"thought\" wrong. Eh, HCI students v \"free\" to be online much of the day, hor.
