NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

[abhcbl]

I only can say jack of all trades, master none. People are interesting, always hoping to choose paths that likely have the most opportunities but may not be ready when the opportunity is presented to them.


How many parents are happy and supportive if their kids are going to specialize in history, Art, or literature in university? So be open on what are the good courses in the university that parents are happy with… and what subject combinations get there. I was told even like accountancy, more than half are from science streams just because it is easier to get A in the science than art.

If you are saying I will prefer my kids to go to said Nan Hua secondary school then NUSH (I am not saying it is bad just that the two school are opposite each other) then I would really think that the parents are concerned about their kids in specializing too early. If the parent is comparing RI or RGS with NUSH… I think it is more about which school sound better.

Sorry if it sounds harsh and controversial, I know how it feels as we have gone through it and when I kept asking myself why not NUSH or why RI, I found that it was because it is RI, all the other reasons is created just because it is RI, and when I changed it to comparing another more normal school, I have no concern about the so call early specialization, and the choice becomes clear. Letting DS to choose based on his passion and be responsible and push forward regardless of the outcome, is a more important lesson in their life than study itself.

Deputy Principal of NUS High also told P6 parents that, \"our NUS High curriculum structure is very unique, hence difficult to find tuition Teacher outside that know how to tuition accelerated NUS High subjects. Also, you won't have time for tuition, because the school timetable schedule is so packed, very tight \"

maybe those Tuition Teacher you can find, are the Senior students studying inside NUS High, because the Seniors have gone through the curriculum themselves, know the curriculum inside out, outside in, can guide the Junior ones

Yes, perhaps is there many cases of students not able to cope with the accelerated curriculum and transfer out of the school?

An alternate way of looking at the school is the following. The school has made its priorities and strengths clear while there are other options for kids who wants something else. The written test and selection camps also focussed on science and maths. so there is no ambiguity. The question that each parent and each child has to decide is whether it suits your passion and image of school you want to go to
