Even if come back with a new nick name, from the way one talk, u can still tell.
He/she may change to a new nick and come back again as a ‘fresh’ parent
One good Example
.zeit is still the same person as another one, under another different nick name, previously
Another 2nd example ?
We all know who Yuppidiyupp is.
She is very active, under different nick name. Active particularly in Eunoia JC thread, as well as in this NYJC thread
Why ?
Because
You can keep changing to new nickname. But the inside of u, not so easy to change.
Just like one day, if I were to change to another new nickname, u all can tell readily that is the same old person. Why ? Because it is my old habit, like to write in detail. But that's me. I find it so hard to break this bad natural habit myself. For those who can't stand me writing this way, I seek your forgiveness. -

Yes, u pointed this out correctly.
Good reminder to parents not to post anything too specific about themselves/their kids on a open forum. been bitten too in the past.
Last time, there is this person called \"Janet88\". She literally poured out everything about her family members one by one, about her husband, her son, her daughter until ... so many people know about her entire family nitty gritty details -

For all you know, people you talked in this ksp eg lee_ly/floppy/thsheng999/Not Education , too many etc are same person or have same i/d😆
Who still come to this ksp these era to seek advice with them around. -
Reading through all the comments in this thread so far, it seems most people in this thread engaging in petty comments who are most likely >30-year old are still stuck with the myopic high-school mentality.
Is there really a need to compare different school results? It’s common-sense that schools with better COP intake will have better A level results, like duh! There are some discrepancies, like value-added, but if you look across all the schools, statistically speaking it still follows the pattern of "better COP = better results". So let’s say if top schools like RI/HCI now take in YIJC students but keep the same teachers, you all think RI and HCI are going to retain their top 1-2 positions?
And what’s the point of arguing which school is better/transparent? That’s why some schools aren’t transparent, because why the need to be transparent? For parents/students to criticize the schools at any slightest faults parents/students can find if they are transparent? At the end of day, it all depends on how a student performs. There are always better students who chose not to enter top schools or value-added schools but are doing exceptionally well with straight As; likewise DSA students into top schools who perform as bad as majority of students in double-digit COP schools. Students who blame schools for their bad results? Stop harboring this defeatist attitude. Learn to take responsibility of your life and stop blaming the environment; it helps a long way in life.
Also, exam results and degrees are holy grail in life? Sure, these pieces of papers can open doors at certain stages of your life. How you make out during different stages of life matter the most. Those who are >30-year old, don’t tell me your A level results and degrees without work experiences matter to employers. You mean if you were to re-sit for your A levels, you can still achieve the same or better grades than what you did at 17-18-year old back then? -
From observations: I believe It’s for intellectual entertainments. It’s similar to some people like to watch drama. Try not to let it go down the rabbit hole then it should be fine. They are many others offering balance views too. But It’s always the strong emotion postings that catch our attentions more. Other readers will have to judge for themselves.
When we lose our balance of the mind we will more likely to be emotional and also not at ease. So when others are emotional I try my best to be compassionate to them because they are in unease state.
It important we parents have to take good care of our well-being too. -
As the above replies have well-explained what I was indirectly articulating; all these result comparisons are for entertainment purposes. This is really a thing drilled into the Singaporean social system; once you leave and work overseas, let’s see whether you think such result comparisons between schools are meaningful when intake standards differ.
Different schools have different programs and resources, like how some schools have a well-structured science research program for aspiring science students while other don’t. Such comparisons are useful for students who wish to enter schools with suitable niches that fit their interests and development. For eg 10-20 years ago, only schools like AJC/NJC/VJC are center of excellence in science but NYJC isn’t one; so an JAE intake student who wants to participate in science research programs may need to consider only certain schools offer such opportunities.
But it seems more than half of the arguments in this forum aren’t about school program but result comparisons, when whether an individual does well boils down to each ability. How meaningful is that to compare results? All these past years, it’s clear lower COP => better A level results. Of course COP ranking isn’t EXACTLY inversely proportional to mean A level rank point. But have we heard any school in history whose eg COP is ranked like top 5 being bottom 5 in A level mean score or vice versa? Yes some people can continue claiming some schools have better teachers or value addedness, so entering these schools can maximize one’s chance to do better; well it make sense to think that way. You want to talk about value-addedness? In the past lower-tier JCs like SRJC and YJC are known to be value-added; but I doubt many people who argue which JC is ranked 3rd in A level want to enter these value-added schools; because the real argument for them isn’t really about value-addedness. But do you want to continue thinking how the environment matters more than yourself? There are so many examples out there students with good O level scores entering lower-tier schools still doing very well for their A level eventually.
Also, some people can continue thinking paper certificates are holy grails as they are required to open doors to opportunities in Singapore. So what if one doesn’t do well academically? Should they end their lives with those ugly grades? Or they should pick themselves up, consider carefully where their interests and strengths lie, walk an alterative path and work towards a suitable career to pursue life satisfaction, despite how the environment is stacked against them? Then some people will disagree with what I said; which brings my next point, students in SG aren’t trained to face failures and disappointment with stride, and not to blame the environment, which is a much needed quality to overcome adversities in life/work, be it in SG or overseas. -
Your point by point rebuttal is impressive. Agree that we should make full use of free publicly available information whenever we can. The reality out there is harsh so got to minimise error in every step and all the more so during this period. Still, need to lookout for the well being (mental health) of the child too. Not easy to be a parent nowadays. Really.

Usaik881, if you run for election I will not vote for you man
your “policy” works maybe for the top 1% (doctor/lawyer potential) . The other 99%, not as strong academically, no contact ,how? Sounds like a “Squid Game” scenario - last one standing :nailbite:
