I have a gal in njc and one in nygh . Basically why njc becos she doesn't want to go all girls school . Haha ! Why Gals always have petty issues .
She enjoyed all her 6 years there . She was given lots of opportunities. CCA , she can choose what she likes .In fact she doesn't feel as stress as my 2nd gal . Who say don't score well in NJC . She scored straight A for all her subjects in last A level. -
I feel that it’s narrow-minded to judge the worth of a school based on it’s mean or median UAS. The easiest way to pull up one’s score is to retain or dismiss the bottom 5% of the cohort from the school by setting a high promo benchmark. If any of the top JC does that, their medium/mean UAS will shoot thru the roof as the bulk of their intake are the crème-da-le-crème of the P6 or S4 students.
NJ seems like a very humane kind of school which will promote as many students as possible to the next level, and offer them a chance to sit for A level. I believe a UAS of 7x is enough to clinch one a place in one of the local uni - a level that should be easily attainable by majority of our IP students here (do correct me if I’m wrong). So there’s no necessity to set a high promo benchmark.
On one hand we expressed sympathy for the stress that our students are undergoing, on the other hand, we are begrudging a school that is lenient enough to allow some of it’s weakest students to sit for A level, at the expense of pulling down it’s median/mean UAS.
It’s a matter of opinion, but I wish that all schools will follow RGS’ example (and some other IP schools too) and set the IP promotion at 50% which will remove undue stress from some of our students. -
