You may not believe it but not everybody in the industry is out to fool parents or make a quick buck.

We genuinely teach kids because we are passionate about it. That’s why we are a small, center; we only open classes based on the key coaches’ schedules. We do not use “paid per hour” coaches

It may seem to you like a harmless “I am smart and I am happy other parents see my point” post but it is irresponsible and unfounded in this case.

I did not even know about your post. I am overseas and was notified by 2 of my students’ parents of your
statement “ That is so marketing to publish overall AL score when they have no impact on the other 2 subjects”. What do you even know about us??

If you are a parent, I hope you can exercise some responsibility in your future comments.

Is this getting personal? You conjure this “I am smart and I am happy other parents see my point” post in your head? I have confessed before to one parent that \"I am not smart\" because half the time I cannot comprehend what some posters are writing, beyond my comprehension I told this parent.

This is a good example of emotions over rationale and a non-stop witch-hunting of an innocent post.

Firstly, the statement, “ That is so marketing to publish overall AL score when they have no impact on the other 2 subjects” is a FACTUAL statement with marketing impact. It is a FACT that you offer only 2-3 subjects but you published the results of overall. Now, is Marketing a BAD, FOUL word? If it is, then nobody will attend marketing courses anymore. :lol: Marketing techniques pique interest and MARKETING is ESSENTIAL in business. And I am addressing the word MARKETING is the problem you have with me since you did not take offence when the first poster said why mentioned overall AL score when only 2 core subjects and I replied to it? :?
Also, FACTUALLY you know you DO NOT offer ALL FOUR subjects, so to give extra information on overall result is marketing right?? :slapshead: It will make people ask more questions, isn't this the outcome?

Secondly, after this statement, I also mentioned that many tuition centres put up overall T-scores as marketing suggesting it as a COMMON MARKETING practice.

Thirdly, just because 2 parents informed you then you have to irrationally jump on another parent? Sheesshh. That was so impulsive. Maybe when you have calmed down, you would like to thank me for telling you that the word marketing is not a bad word.

I make no apology for what I said because my conscience is clear and there was no malice nor intent of attack on any particular centre except to say that it is a common marketing practice that would have slipped my eyes as opposed to the eagle-eyed parent whom I kudo-ed. Also, I ALWAYS write responsibly because that is WHAT I EXPECT of others in a public forum. POFMA was born out of feedback from people like me.

Wait till you read about someone calling everyone's kids a \"gong gia\" to choose JC over Poly choice and thrash them in the uni, then you understand what is a writing problem in a public forum.

If you do not appreciate a constructive feedback when you see one, at least do not launch a personal attack. Thank you. I reiterate....MARKETING IS NOT A FOUL WORD if you are in business. I hope you understand that you are attacking a parent plus the friends circle who could be potential clients for you.

Thank you for your reply and concern.
Fortunately the student parents coming to us are discerning. I will leave it to the readers to decide who is the angry one here.

. Good that you know how to say \"thank you\" and make a graceful exit after creating a drama out of your own marketing act

However, if you truly feel you have angered me for launching a personal attack of who I am, an apology would show sincerity.
Just for the record, if there is no apology, life still goes on for me, so there is no pressure.

If you can lose existing students due to this marketing act, \"discerning\" parents are not seeing the value in your service. This is my thinking as a parent. The merit in a centre for me is what works for my kid. Marketing is what a centre has to do for their biz but not a value I will tag on if my kid is already studying in the centre and enjoying the value of service.

You know you do not have to feel uneasy about marketing in business as long as what you provide is real information and not illegal ie, info is copyrighted or consent is not granted, albeit it is not directly linked to you. This is a takeaway for you in this drama you have created.

You made me laugh so hard with your delusions!

I am interested in the Advanced PSLE Math Class conducted by \"NickleBee Tutors\". However the link does not appear to be working properly anymore?

My Primary 4 daughter is identified as a High Achiever Learner and has been selected to do the E2K Math in school.

Passed GEP round 1 but was not selected into the GEP in Primary 3.

Overall Math and Science scores are above 95% and she tells me that the Math & Science school work doesn't pose a challenge to her.

What is a good PSLE math enrichment to stretch my child's potential? Preferably one that can teach the core school syllabus well, and also some GEP & Math Olympiad concepts to prepare for 'stretch' questions that are appearing increasingly often in the PSLE.

I have shortlisted 3 options. Please share any feedback. Tks. 🙏
