[quote=\"Lani\"]I really hope that the unaffected parents can put themselves in other people shoes.
From what I heard, one of the principals of the 3 affected sec schools actually declared that the new JC ranking would surpass the top JC during the first Open House when IP was introduced in the school. This had attracted some parents to forgo the top JC and chose this school.
With this turn of events, some affected parents now wish to transfer their kids to the top JC they initially qualified. I believe this is not acceptable to some unaffected parents who view these affected parents as victims of their own greed.
It may only apply to a very small group but we can't deny it exists. Hence not everyone can empathize with the affected parents.
Which P declared that ? this is considered as misrepresentation ! If you buy financial products based on misrepresentation, you can seek for recourse, compensation and report to case and probably MAS![/quote]As mentioned, this is what I heard. Try asking the parents who attended the first Open House for IP to verify then.
I am sure the other principal(s) did mention they will place this new JC in top 3 ranking. Try tracing the KSP forums of the affected schools.
Parents of the current top 3 JCs will not be able to empathize with these affected parents too. -

You mean surpass RI? No offence but I find it difficult to believe. -

What I have heard from one of the principals 3 years ago was that this new JC would be rank top 3, not surpass the top JC. -

which Principal (of the 3 schools) would dare to use the word, \"surpass\" the Top Junior College : when the first pioneering batch of students have yet to produce the \"A\" level results ?

perhaps this piece of info had been mis-understood, or been heard wrongly -

Top 3? May I know after how many years of establishment? -

I thought it sounded really confident, if not arrogant, on the part of that principal too.

This is what I heard from someone who went to (DSA) Open House: \"We will make sure that this new joint JC will surpass Raffles\". Not these exact words but something to this effect.
That's why I can remember it until now.
Unless it was misinterpreted. -

Assume it's immediate since no timeline was given. Not surprising as some schools have many more China scholars than others. Heard these scholars are handpicked from their provinces by the schools' leaders.alng:

With their presence, it's possible to rank top 3, or is it not? -

Never said leh...but you have a very good question....how come no one has asked that question then?alng:

DS is in the other IP school in Bishan albeit only in year 2. From what I observed, the boys do not frown upon any classmate's school background or other background. Actually, they don't care which school their classmates were from or how they got into the school. Please do not assume and do not put words in their mouths.
...
2. Frankly, with all the hoo-ha created, for any student to join any JC in yr 5, they would be frowned upon(rightfully or wrongfully) and there is no time in the 2 years to be frowned upon. Do you seriously want to subject yr kids to such pressure and hostility in an existing JC? Ask your kids if they wish to deal with that.

Please note \"any JC\" so....? Please also note \"rightfully or wrongfully\"... we cannot control every view, can you?

The key point is with this issue so heated up now, it would be a talking point and there would be some pressure to deal with, a reality. Can we not accept reality?
Do you expect Cheryl from a good school to sue her good school? No? But it happened. Then do you regard her school or its girls any lesser now because of this lawsuit? I am sure the answer is also a \"No\". It is an emphatic \"No\" from me because I can form my own opinion after gathering all the relevant facts. Just want to show you that every school also has its exceptions now that you want to raise this point with me based on a sample from your kids' circle of friends that you have observed. I would never paint all kids from my kids' schools are angels or saints....far from it...but I would say the school tries hard to instill the right behaviour in them as far as possible which incidentally makes a school good as well and generally the majority turns out well eventually. Never say never and do you think Cheryl is an exception?
I am not here to argue, more to share. I take pain to write more just to let you know that you have over-reacted on their behalf and it is actually not good for the kids as it was not even targetted at anyone specific but you have chosen to direct it to them. So please don't take an issue when there is none. Peace. :xedfingers:
