:whut: created this acc just to reply you. I am usually a lurker brownsing. Nay, there is no best class but mixed abilities classes according to a teacher I spoke. The classes are group according to weak in maths or strength in something and class with good language or scores in English. Not sure if this is the actual case but this is what was told to me by a teacher and another upper level parent. Scholarships are not all from a class and the best students from each year are definitely not from a single class for sure.

hi i heard the classes are banded in SOTA being R8 as best class but then there are very outstanding students in R1, R3, R5 in terms of psle results and artforms, can someone confirm this as just want to make sure i am not misinformed because for the upper level I heard the classes are mixed abilities and there are some very good students mixed into the other classes for some reasons. anyone here know what are the REASONS for doing so as got a couple VA students on scholarships tat are from other classes not R8 so it is very confusing. Is there really a rumoured best class?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what is the school hours like for dance in SOTA, please? Do the students have to stay back late everyday or only on certain days?

Also, do you get to choose the genre of dance?

Thank you in advance.

Thks James1968. One more thing I notice my DD hate her Lit teacher Ms Seah a lot so should I speak to her or email her or so think this is a bad idea? I read my DD whatapp class chat, the students also dislike this science teacher Miss Loh who they say was not very lazy to teach any idea how do parents like us try to help cushion this.

I reckon you meant \"very lazy\" to teach and I can only nod in agreement for this science teacher. Anyone here knows any science tutors familiar for sota syllabus to recommend.

Hi. Do you know what book the year 1 student are using in Sota? Can they chose between standard and higher chinese?

Thanks!

Likely cannot choose. They are assessed on their abilities and sent to the different classes. My daughter took higher chinese in Pri sch but ended up not in the best chinese class so very shocked as I sent her for higher chinese tuition during the holidays for nothing. I let her quit the tuition since not fated to be in the best chinese class. :mad:

This best class thingy is spreaded by students asking one another's psle results but my talk with the teachers during the subject workshop is no best class and mixed abilities. I know of a few 250++ in other classes other than r8. The so-call better classes have students with 230 and 240 range from the parents I know so I think really not a really verified thing.
