...The difference also has its origin fr the production of estrogen & testosterone which contribute to boys tending to be less inclined to sit still for as long as females and tend to be more physically impulsive and aggressive.


So we mums & teachers hv to learn strategies to help the boys sit still & focus. And we’ve to watch our girls as they grow & learn to handle their emotions & self-worth v peers. It’s a retrenchment proof job!

Oh dear. DD seems to have the worse of both... :slapshead:

I think the numbers indicate that one will need at least. PSLE AL band score (what’s the proper way of saying it anyway?) of between 4 to 7 to qualify for these schools.

MOE says it's called \"PSLE Score\"

Uhrmm... what's the median if the population size is even in number, like 1, 2, 2, 6, 6, 6? PAP keeps talking about the median of the top 100 earners...

According to Google search :

Arrange your numbers from lowest to highest and then eliminate them from the left and right, one-by-one. Whichever number remains in the end is the median! Special note: If TWO numbers remain (which happens about half the time), you're supposed to add them together and divide by two.

Answer: 4? :nunchuk:

1,2,2,6,6,6
=median(cell1:cell6)
Return
Answer: 4

:rotflmao: everytime I read the info eg on difference of boys and girls in terms of development bla bla or on certain suspected development issues, I will encounter problems so I will just take that all kids are different.

I think I'll call it PSLE AL Band or AL Range, cos the heading: \"PSLE Score\" is for applicant to check which AL Band their total final PSLE score falls within.

Oh. So when PAP talks about the median of the top 100 earners, what they mean is the mean/middle of the top 50th and top 51st earner? I suppose saying pegging ministerial pay to some statistical function of top 100 sounds better than pegging to some other statistical function of top 50 & 51... :imanangel:

I just realised that out of these schools, only NYGH accept students from its affiliated school. A check on SIS shows that the scores for NYGH affiliation is:

Lower: 250
Upper: 277
Median: 258

The median for non-affiliated is 268. The difference is 10 scores.

She is just one of those who cannot sit still & focus, can be physically impulsive, and at the same time be overly sensitive re emotions & self-worth v peers. And she plays and cusses as good as any boy in those online MMORPG shooting games. So, she wants to go co-ed school.

I thought ACSI, Methodist, St Nicks, SJI, SCGS also have affiliation students?
