let’s take it easy

How about School in neighbourhood, sounds better ? :rotflmao:I find terms like “neighborhood school” overrated. What does it mean? Bishan is not a neighborhood meh? Bukit Timah is not a neighborhood? Are they Federal territory with a different set of jurisdiction? P/S: who’s keeping track of the rating?
I like the term pure IP-stream. It’s as meaningless and classic as calling a school pure-O Level stream (though no one really say it). Both are technically correct, albeit inappropriate description (for some people), of some schools. We can call it schools with only IP stream or schools with only O Level stream, but beyond being PC and an issue with the lexicon, I don’t see the meaning being any different.
include RI, Cath High, KC presby and other govt sec sch in the area liao . btw, which is pure IP with no O level classes, can tell me? -

Is it really 无心？
Yep, exactly. Actually, no need to argue over all these - there are no real facts in the original post anyway. There will always be some people who quote anecdotal information to incite a response.
Whether it's rumors about parents who look down on O-levels, or look down on DSA students, or PRC parents behaving badly, etc etc. Kinda like Online Citizen or States Times Review. -
peasants, I guess some of us were caught by surprise from your posts last night…may or may not be your meaning but some of us got the impression…like O level is not good. That causes some discomforts in some of us. You have clarified once and some of us understand there may be valid reason for such thinking(if there really such)…what happened this morning, from what I see some of the members got abit lost on what the issue was about…therefore issue ‘resurfaced’ and got discussed (likely they dont see your clarification post as they are in different threads)…

I think it means whole school must be in the IP stream - never mind Year 5 and 6 that some O Level fellas will be joining in, we just pretend they don’t exist.

Why not ask the originator ? There is nothing to hide I am sure.
In the first place, have you read the original post? If yes, I would like to hear how would you interpret those words used.lee_yl:

Also a classic example of

Lai Lai, I am here. Cut down on salt, bad for the blood pressure. I run hell a lot, any sub 9 min pacer for 6 laps? I am only ITE btw.[/quote]The above question is not directed at you.
Peasant, sometimes when I chance upon your posts, you yourself may not notice it but many of them sound bitter.
What I want to say is, life is never fair. In KSP here, we don’t care what background you are from, ITE so what. Over here, not all our kids are high fliers but we share information and experiences to one another regardless.
Btw, me and MKS we are good friends and I was just :pokeeye: :pokeeye: her. Lol. -
sigh I have finally read all the hoo-ha liao. Aiyah. Sometime we really need to be watchful on what we are saying inclusive of typing out lah. There are kids reading in the forum as well. Be sensitive beyond reasonable is my motto to my kids.

MyPillow:
Curious, which schs are the \"Pure\" IP stream only ? pardon my \"suaku\"
There isn't any pure IP school. IP means inclusive up to 6 years, until A level is over (completed / finished).
All IP schools, are joined by Joint-Admission Exercise students in Year (5 and 6), after they sat for O level exam.
Even the two High schools : River Valley High and Dunman High, from 2019 onwards, have JAE students joining them. -

Your comment “life is never fair” is :goodpost:
A student may study very hard but yet didn’t get gd results
A worker may hold 2-3 jobs but can’t even beat somebody who holds a part time job
A gd person may die early while a not so gd person lives long long
There is simply no fairness in this world. -
Overrated means T score for NYGH include HCL , but not RGS. So they are comparable.
"PURE" means IP school with no O levels to back on. Cos I do not want DDs to feel complacent. If they have no confident in IP, then go O levels. This is my stand all along, my past posts can prove my point. And this is what it is! That’s why it is in RGS thread, not common thread!
However, even after I clarified and even apologized unreservely, someone took my post, twisted the content, and starts to stirred in a public domain, in pm boxes, and more and more joined in. Knowing there are kids reading here, they will be thinking why this forum is so toxic!
I am from humble background, but I don’t look down on myself every morning. I got this chin up bar mounted on the wall, which I pull myself up every damn day.
Someone hope my DD2 meet tough kids and face tough times. Well, bring it on. She’s tested. Tough times grow tough kids.
I hope I cleared all doubts. Those who has further doubts can pm me, but please don’t stirred further or personal attack.
Lastly, no offense again. You people are still my source of guidance. That is no doubt. Thank you!
