sad to see the state of NJC now, I also heard many complaints from my niece who is JC2 this year in NJ. I was a former NJCian, my time, it is as good as HCJC. Hopefully the new principle Lucy Tay who was also a president scholar from NJC around my time, will bring back former glory.

she is comfortable in njc. and kids u know at that age r quite resistant to changes.after speaking to her, she feels abit regret on her decision, and says she will work harder in nj to compensate for the lack on the school part (if she is unable to trsf out)

I think you are not giving enough weight to what your DD wants. You can gaslight her now because she is only 12/13 years old and make her feel 'abit regret', but she may blow up and rebel when she is 15/16. If that happens, quality of teaching at NJC or NYGS will be the least of your worries, because you may find she refuses to go to school altogether, if transfer was not what she really wanted but something she submitted to because of parental pressure.

My view is let her take ownership of her choice, shut up and just give her all the support she wants and needs.

Hi lazygal21,


Not sure if you got your DD’s buy-in before you wrote the letter to the school. At this age, whatever we do/say to people around her matters a lot of them, esp if they don’t like adults to meddle in their stuff. They always say they can cope, and we always know that probably they that is not entirely true, but as they get older, the more we try to ‘help’ them, the more things may backfire, like what pirate mentions. At 12-13, my girl will still let me access her school email…no way now. Recently there was a petition initiated by parents in my girl’s school about some CCA stuff, I also make sure I ask my girl before deciding if i should put my name on it.

yes I did get her buy in before I wrote the email to the school. She did look thru what I wrote and say to go ahead to send as she also hope to see the school improve.


anyway I will close this chapter already and move on. thanks for all your advice.

And what do you expect her to do? NJC is a govt JCs - it doesn't decide to hire teachers, fire them, double the bonuses of better ones.
