taurbear:

I was sharing at a dinner party last evening on the CO received by DS n one young secondary boy said this to my face in front of my DS \"That school is a very good school, the students in there are very clever! You should have applied to my school! DSA students only have to meet cut off point of 225 instead of 240!\"


i was not happy with that comment...

thought DSA students given CO and who accepted the CO : only need 200, to clear PSLE ?

Now, raised to 225, in this Sec school u mentioned ?

240 is the official psle Cut-off-point, for this school ?

I think that is what you would call No EQ.

Most geppers DSA for RI or RGS. Outcome not out. How to say rejection higher? Not fair to say geppers free rider. They are taught less of the PSLE stuff unlike mainstream and do more projects? Most still score above 250. Most awards won by geppers. Please be sensitive in your comments.

Some rejections already out from R schools. Obviously I based on anecdotal evidence that it appears that more GEP received rejection this year as compared to the past. There were some talks that GEP students appear to be getting a \"free ride\" if you look at past years' DSA discussions on KSP. There has been cases of some GEP becoming complacent, and it is only human nature that some will slack off once convinced that they are \"gifted\" and hence no need to work hard. I would suggest that one should try to understand human nature and find ways to deal with it, instead of shutting down uncomfortable views.

Can share which R schools have sent out rejection letters? Mail or email? Thanks!

RGS email followed by shall for both CO and rejection? Or CO only? This is for Specific language domains I recall.
