Justice_justin:
I do agree with you that the threads should be used to discuss constructive factual information. However, I do disagree with you on the following points
It's disconcerting to see the to-and-fro OT arguments flooding the various threads, drowning out useful sharing of information and putting off well-meaning parents from posting relevant pointers. It's high time to move all these irrelevant posts to Rants and keep the JC threads strictly for pertinent information sharing.
I find the ganging up on a particular forummer an horrendous act of cyber bullying. As mature adults, we should be good models and not act in such a manner. While some parents may think that they are defending EJC, what will prospective students think after reading all those posts? Are the EJC parents suffering from a crisis of low self esteem and showing a lack of confidence in the new school?
On the other hand, while one may be justifiably proud of NYJC's achievements (given its steady ascent over the years), there is no need to drum up dubious statistics or cast disparaging comments about other JCs just to boost NYJC's standing.
Moderators, I hope there will be greater vigilance in responding to requests to rein in unruly and unreasonable behavior which if left unchecked will result in KSP degenerating into another juvenile forum.
- \"ganging up\" , cyberbullying - you make it sound as though there is a premeditated group effort by people here to selectively target a person. Rather, I would say that each has responded individually to what she has seen to resonate with or disagree with. Generally, most have responded to the comments rather than the person. You do not see the same reactions when the particular forummer had made factual comments, do you? While granted that discussions can get heated as each adamantly stood by her point, the fact that if more people agree with a certain viewpoint does not make the majority cyber-bullies. Hence, I find that it is uncalled for to accuse forummers here of \"ganging up\" and being cyber bullies.
- You are making a sweeping statements by assuming all that have responded to be EJC parents. Other than a particular forummer who has stated she has a child in EJC, where did you get the information that all others are EJC parents ? For your information, my son is in a school along Bukit Timah Road , so would appreciate that you validate before making such comments since it would be unfair to the school in question
- You kind of alluded to the fact that if we response to a post that contains misinformation, we are \"suffering from a crisis of low self esteem\", So what would you suggest in this case, let the untruths propagate in the forum ? Would that make you \"highly esteemed\" ? -

Firstly, I empathise that your Saturday was a boring one. On the contrary it was a family bonding day for me. Back to the main topic, whatever schools that start at 730, 8 or even 830, I feel that there is no focus in any of our arguments. What then is the point you are driving at? Is it related to the betterment of any college?
I am reading your posts with great amusement. You are missing the entire picture.mindays:
No, you still don't get it. The fact is that, clubs and societies have 2 CCAs per week. During exam periods, there may be less. During competition period, there may be more. I agree, but that's not the point. The point is, what is the designed time of these CCAs by the school? If it is 2 times/week, then just say so. Also, what do you mean by CCA can start earlier when J2s have their Chinese exams over? Do CCAs not have a fixed timing, how do they start earlier? Is your DC a J2 yet? How then do you know?
The point of contention is if school starts early, it will definitely end earlier. CCA plays a part but it only takes up a couple of days in a week on average. When school end earlier, CCA typically can start earlier. You are just trying to nitpick extreme examples which will occur under every situation but that does not mean is the norm.
Your contention is that it does not matter if school start at 730am, 8am, 830am because they will always end at the same time ??? If that premise is even remotely true, why then do you not find all the other JCs start school at 830am or even 9am.
Your responses are providing me great entertainment value on a boring Saturday afternoon. -

'Dawned upon' is more formal and less frequently used than 'dawned on', but both are correct. Stetan didn't make any mistake here.
It looks like you perceive that my grammar is wrong, but according to merriam-webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dawn%20on, I am right. This is why some people only think that they are in the capacity to correct someone when he/she is at fault.mindays:
[quote=\"stetan\"]
Has it dawned upon ( not on ) you that I only wrote this comment after you wrote this message attacking another forummer ?
And I was only reflecting to you how apt the description seems to suit you.
己所不欲，勿施于人
Mindrays.. You're wrong to use 'dawned on to'. It should be 'dawned on',[/quote]And if you feel that this is a good contribution to this thread, I rest my case. Just like stetan, was it really necessary? -
Whatever it is, this thread seems to be heavily orientated on other JCs or even unrelated topics on NYJC. Until relevant inputs are discussed, I shall refrain from entertaining the bunch of haters.

I had to show NYJC result as anti NYJC had always commented that NYJC COP drops due to non academic factors ( yes can be true ). But NYJC academic results is also a factor- its 2015 GCE A level has shown. Now, its 2016 GCE A level results has proven.
They can choose what they want to belief, is alright.
The info below is meant to share with parents and students who are Keen in NYJC.
Brief update on NYJC 2016 ‘A’ Level results.
Extract from its Term 2 Newsletter:
"We are extremely proud of our Class of 2015/16
who have done very well in the 2016 ‘A’ level ex- amination. Close to 40% of the cohort achieved
3H2 distinction with at a pass in GP and in terms
of value addedness, our college is one of the high- est among the JCs/Centralised Institute. Thank you
and all the best Class of 2015/16! "

I agree! The students here are really hardworking. I only know 2 Nanyang JC students (super small sample : ) ) But they are diligent and exam savvy. More importantly, they are v proud and happy to be in NYJC.
NYJC is a good JCCrester:
