Hi. Thanks for sharing. A quick comment wrt yishun2009's posts... It's apparent that in this year's 评比, most of the MS awards have gone to non-TAG1 students; however, my experience is that their PSLE accomplishments are closely comparable to GEP. One can check with the TAG teachers for more info.

I read the later posts in the forum shared by FantasyLandDreams… one person shared that the TAG1 students are in a different award category from the rest of the mainstream pupils, just as the GEPers are on their own. In other words, when it comes to Top 3 positions in the cohort for instance, there are Top 3 for MS students, Top 3 for TAG1 students and Top 3 for GEP students. Is that true?

Case in point, for P4, two students were given the Scholarship award during the prize giving ceremony in Nov this year. One from GEP class and the other from TAG1 class. But having said this, I believed there will be and there are students from non-TAG classes who will do well and even can surpass TAG students. Some just develop later while others develop earlier.

Learnt from a friend, Tag1 class (non GEP) students take same exam papers (EL, MA and SC) as mainstream classes except Higher Chinese (they take same paper HCL paper as GEP students). And in many cases, Tag1 students top the co-hort (exclude GEP) in all 3 papers.

It clearly shows these award winners from Tag1 are high ability students who may have just missed being selected for GEP classes. The learning journey is a combination of both part GEP and mainstream, hence, I feel they have best of both worlds. iPad usage if misuse is the responsibility of the child and parents.

Totally agreed with you that misuse of iPad is the responsibilities of the child and parents. Academic results aside, what's more important at the end of the day is character building; leadership, agility, tenacity and confidence. These are abilities that will help children survive in the ever changing world beyond just PSLE, O-levels, A-Levels and so on.

Hi


Has anyone collated what is the average percentage of scores from tag1 class,
Or percentage of students score above 260 pen 250? Etc

I checked with the teachers and apparently they don’t share these information.

I’m not sure whether knowing the % of students in Tag 1 > 260 will be useful. Most probably, quite a number of these students would have gotten CO via DSA and they only need a min effort to maintain the min cut-off for IP. The information may not be well represented of the class performance.
