The child is unlikely to be randomly placed in any good school and I believe there is a fair system in place to ensure all good students deserve a place in all good schools. The system can also ensure that parents with more resources may not be able to gain any unfair advantage by entering a previously high average t score primary school to go to an affiliated sec school by buying or renting a home near that school. So if the t score is not important, all students should end up in a good school irregardless of his or her good primary school in expensive neighbourhood or not.
hahaha, this is brilliant, the child will randomly go to any school irregardless of merit, since all school are good schools. Btw, won't this reduce to the same selection process as Primary school? Then I won't be scratching my head, but will be digging my piggy bank to \"relocate\" again.... :imcool:suku:

Or A*A*A*A and 4A* go to other lesser known good schools. Only when any score can end up in any school then perhaps it clearly shows that all schools are the same and equally good. No need to scratch head too much.
[/quote]Currently, the fair system is by T-score. In the last 2 years, due to complaints of the challenging PSLE questions and perhaps the chanting of 'all schools are good school', hey machim like 'four legs good, two legs bad'(just joking), the end result was it became harder for the higher ability students to differentiate as the paper becomes easier and there seems to be bunching at the higher scores of the paper as evident by the lower T-scores (which is directly affected by the higher mean and lower sd).
Without the T-scores, or perhaps introduction of the supposedly banded grades, the selection process becomes less transparent. So if the t score is not important, what will be a fairer alternative?
Also, with the current trend of lowering T-score, it makes DSA very important especially for the top schools. Who said those well-resourced parents will not have the advantage? Piano, ballet, violin, table tennis, soccer, bowling.... just invest in good coaches and perhaps a few overseas competitions, it sure makes the CV looks good enough for DSA.
Currently, irregardless of family background, T-score is the most transparent form to chose the best suited school. Other developments, as observed, seems to made it more opaque, and perhaps a wishful thinking... :stompfeet: -

Yes they are siblings -
I don’t agree the point of bekitha. Learning Chinese language is important for Chinese people. Unfortunately , student regardless primary and secondary, student write Chinese words is very less so that students don’t like Chinese language any more. Ten years back, one new Chinese word student need write at least twenty times. Nowadays my girl only write 3 times for new word. Student can not remember these words. As parents I need ask my girl to write these words for another 5 times again. Chinese and English are more on hard working. If u read more books, write more words, these two subjects can be improved a lot. Hope moe need ask student to write more words for these two subjects.
