Top Primary school?

[ChiefKiasu]

Ai Tong was very strong in the 1990s, but has been kind of relegated to the 2nd tier due to the very strong showing of the likes of RGS, Nanyang, Nan Hua, St. Hilda’s etc. It was only able to scrap up 2 national top 10 students in the last 7 years. However, there is no doubt it is still a very good and well-sought after school.


There were reports that our MM has sent his children and grand children to Nanyang Primary on a regular basis, so the school is well connected politically if that’s something you like.

hello Chief,


Thanks for your sharings. Just a poll of vote. If you’re in my situation. Which option will you choose Nanyang (Phase 2B) or Ai Tong (Phase 2A1)?

I stay nearer to Nanyang (but still >2km) than Ai Tong.
Regards

Hi,


I would suggest you try Ai Tong (Phase 2A1) at least is confirm have place. Nanyang Phase 2C most likely ballot scheme.Then everything depend on luck liao.

Titank...I typed wrongly. How about Nanyang (Phase 2B)?

Hi MegBryan,


Nanyang is definitely a better school than Ai Tong. For Nanyang, are you in Phase 2B or 2C, your earlier post mentioned 2B but later post says 2C. If its 2B, I would think your chances are high. My colleague is a PV in Nanyang, and she mentioned that most if not all the PVs she knows for this year’s batch stays outside 2km (herself included).

Also, you have to consider if Nanyang, being single session is something you would consider as a plus point. Some people do, especially if they have more than one kid, it’ll be easier to manage if all are in the same session. Actually…I do wonder, Nanyang opens up 13 classes for primary one almost every year and operate in single session, they must have a lot of resources to be able to achieve that.

Anyway, where do you stay? if distance is not really a problem, than you can go for Ai Tong as its a guaranteed place.

If I'm not wrong, Nanyang (Phase 2B) if there is ballot then have to depend on luck. I still suggest that you go for Ai Tong where it is confirm a place.

Anyway this is how I feel. You have to make a decision.

Since there is no SAP School near my place, I don't have to consider that. Also I do not want to add stress to children esp in SAP School.

I was looking at the results of PSLE 2007 and I realized that only 3 of the top 15 pupils are boys!!!


Strange considering more than half of a cohort are boys!

Does this mean in Pri 6, girls are more hardworking?

Generally girls are more matured and boys are more playful.
So i guess that plays a part in how they perform academically at 12 yrs old too.

You need to do at least 10-15 years analysis to get more insight if the gender plays a strong part.

Having said that, generally, girls' strength in languages, boys' in math/science.

boy is disadvantaged when chinese or english is poor.

girl has an advantage becos math/science also use languages!!! kekeke.

honestly, gender does not matter in results....at the end the key positions in most industries still dominated by men... very successful women usually in the end still stand behind the man cos she has more options like looking after the kids based on current society's perception and need to multi-task... :lol:
