Harrychew:
Can share which R schools have sent out rejection letters? Mail or email? Thanks!Yngmng:
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. -

phtthp:
<<< yes...
thought DSA students given CO and who accepted the CO : only need 200, to clear PSLE ?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...
Now, raised to 225, in this Sec school u mentioned ? <<< yep.. not sure if this boy is right
240 is the official psle Cut-off-point, for this school ? -

Agree, lack of sleep is a problem.googaga:
Exactly. Many are sleep deprived too due to the many deadlines from assignments. They too have their fair share of hard work and expectations to meet. In addition, their papers are different from mainstream except PSLE papers. Please be kind & refrain from showing unnecessary discrimination to these kids.
:goodpost:
Unless you are a parent of a Gepper, you will not understand the amount of hard work they go through.
My DS sleep at 1045 pm to 1 am ( yes in the morning) on average. Good days at 9.45 pm.
No he didn't get any 'free rides' in DSA , but got a WL after interview and test. He is not the only one with a WL in class, some got rejection too. Some of them kept quiet when other boasted of getting COs. I think because he is only gifted in 1 subject ( i.e. translate to super weak in all other subjects which give a not so good average grade). Just getting great marks/bagged top awards for 1 subject is useless for DSA ( at least for him).
No tuition & must live up to teachers' expectations constantly (not mine). It's stressful for him at time , even I feel it from some of the teachers' emails addressed to me. So it's not a great thing to be labelled as Gepper unless you are really gifted in all/most subjects. Yes, then maybe those Geppers will be offered 'free rides' in DSA.
No flaming pls, just giving a honest feedback.
