Please don't misquote me.
Are you saying that a significant number of students in NYJC are avoiding scholarships? Where do you get this info from?
I never said NYJC students are avoiding scholarships.
I know nothing about NYJC except what's shared and published about their A level results, which look to be strong. -

then what are you saying? Are you just making a general statemens that youths avoid scholarship today ? Then that should be applicable across all JCs, not only NYJC and it does not explain NYJC's lacklustre performance in generating scholarship holders, given it's superior COP compared to other JCs

You dont hv to point out or bother about Nyjc, please.
As i said, i just want to point out the danger of correlating a culture of mugging to excellence ,which real word data in terms of scholarship performance says otherwise.
We know where your DC went and way past JC age, as you said. Then go enjoy your Golden years, why crack your brain if Nyjc this or that.
keep saying '.... the danger of correlating a culture of mugging to excellence...', you really that concern ah OR jealous of Nyjc very good A level results.
Mugging....yr DC not from/in NYJC, so you heard from others....already shared mug this word is subjective and how people interpret.
You claim to be an interviewer, then you FAIL to be one as you based on what other told you about Nyjc mug culture which is not true.
If not jealous as your DC not in Nyjc, then you are worried for Singapore😅 future.
You should be worrying about VJC/EJC underperforming A level results even with big IP cohort, if you have so much time.
I didnt say their results are bad though.
Having too fun time inside or what happened?
Go find out.
Dont need to update us about this here.
Not comparing JCs but someone keeps comparing Scholarship with VJC/EJC....
then I want say :congrats: once again to Nyjc for the fabulous results and
again better than Ejc/Vjc.

If this is how you write to express yourself and to handle customer objection, then you will fail my interview, scholarship interviews and many employers' interviews. I am hoping the rest of your NYJC cohort is not like that.

I am posting here because there are many here that are celebrating a culture of mugging as a sign of excellence.
I have no intention of writing to NYJC as i have no vested interest. Perhaps parents who have kids in NYJC should write in instead?
I do not wish to reiterate what others had posted numerous time. Likewise, we have no interest in President Scholarship and such. Otherwise, RI brand will be the #1 choice, not even HCI or others. -

You do not have to “reiterate” to me anything. I have no interest in how NYJC is.

Read my initial post. I am just debunking the fact that a culture of mugging leads to excellence. -

I do not think anyone here claim we are #1. The students are just JAE kids, nowhere close to RI/ HCI. We are in a different league (unique and nurturing one just for JAE) totally but who cares.
Only some weird parents whose children are not even in NYJC are trying to stir, for the obvious reasons. Hope they can finally sleep well.
Errr… “Here to stir?” . Whats there to stir? When people start claiming that NYJC will be the next Hwa Chong , wont there not be greater public scrutiny to ascertain if i NYJC does indeed live up to the “hype”?
And questioning the number of scholars that NYJC produced is one such litmus test. You know a tree by its fruits. A tree that is growing is expected to have many good fruits. If the tree is growing but
yet not producing any good fruits, wouldnt the farmer be concerned? -

Tbh, we are not concerned at all. Thanks for your concern.
Producing good fruits.....YES, NYJC has been producing Good Results and latest result is even promising with Desired results.
the number of scholars that NYJC produced is one such litmus test is not used for measurement by us at all seriously.
Then that Big IP population JC is not producing enough Good Fruits or Desired result, you should be more worried, more so its your ....Alumni.
Thank you. -

Let me annotate my analogy so you can comprehend. A tree that is growing (i.e having good results) is expected to produce good fruits ( i.e scholars)

Pls stop all these excuses , using scholarship to bear fruits. Leave it to
1) the current school Principal from Hwa Chong
+
2) the parents & students of Nanyang Junior College, how they want to bring glory, to their own JC.
As your child is not even studying inside NYJC, it has nothing to do with you. Your child has already graduated long time ago, from some other institution, instead.
Therefore, it is none of your concern. NYJC Principal & his team of VPs are fully aware of Scholarship. This is under NYJC internal college matter.
Stetan,
Why are you trying to create havoc, disturbance inside NYJC thread, harping nothing but always forever on this scholarship thing ?
If u continue to keep harping on this same matter, beating around the bush on Scholarship,
we will request Chief to delete away ALL your comments.
=======================
Chief,
Kindly take note of what's happening here. Because we only want useful discussion here, inside NYJC. We do not want this place to become another EJC argument fighting place, like what happened last time. Chief, u know what I am refering to -

Please elaborate what havoc have i created? Were my posts offensive or derogatory to NYJC? If my posts were offensive, would not have Chief deleted those posts as he had in the EJC thread recently?
Please read my original post. I cautioned against celebrating a culture of mugging as a pedestal for success as today’s workforce require more skillsets than that.
And also the best way to gauge success is the number of scholarship holders it produces as a scholarship applicant has to undergo intense interviews and even psychometry tests to determine if he stands out from the mass cohort
So please tell me what have i posted is “havoc” or not within reason? Please use reason and facts to talk in the forum rather than using threats. We can certainly have a discourse based on facts and rationality. In fact i have tried to be amicable this season compared to how i write years ago in this forum.
Btw, you were the person that claim the NYJC will be the next Hwa Chong, isnt it? -

Check your own heart.
Why ?
Because
The answer is found, inside your heart.
======================
Yes, I did say before that NYJC can become another Hwa Chong, ONE day.
On what basis, do I say this ?
Because
The current Principal hailed from Hwa Chong. He know what are the best practices. He will try to apply the best practices into NYJC, based on his experience in leading HCI before. However, whether he can succeed or not, is another different separate matter. It will depend on his team of existing staff from NYJC + availability & approval of resources, from his Higher up bosses.
I will stop here, Stetan.
I will not engage u anymore
Because
We can all see what is the condition of your heart here, clearly.
By the way,
If u still want to harp on this Scholarship issue, Principal Mr Pang Chong How have told all his 2024 (students + parents) that his office door is always open, from Monday to Friday, anytime ! So, feel free to walk in & have a cup of coffee with him, discuss over any great \"burning\" issue or concern that u have. Especially, this scholarship thing that has troubled u so terribly !
Ah ! But i forgot.
Since you don't even have any children studying inside NYJC, then perhaps Principal Mr How won't even see u. Unless, as an outsider, you have something SO important, that it will affect Nanyang Junior College, internally. -

Maybe you should tell me since you seem to know my heart better than myself?
Stetan,

As i said, my kids all have pass JC phase. I dont even care how the JC are performing nowadays.
Again read my original post. I am cautioning against celebrating a culture of mugging as the key to success. Retrenchments are aplenty nowadays. New grads are finding hard to secure good jobs. If you focus on just being exam smart or extreme mugging, it does not give you any advantage in your career if you have 86 rank points, compared to one that have 85 points and yet have the other skillsets that are required for today’s workforce -
Folks, all parents out here,
I am sure all of you out here, can see what is the heart condition of Stetan, right?
=================
Chief,
Pls proceed to take whatever action u need, to ensure meaningful sharing take place, in this NYJC thread.
Thank you, Chief, for your understanding. -

I respect your opinion in NYJC. Does that mean i cannot have a separate opinion?
Yes, I did say before that NYJC can become another Hwa Chong, ONE
You have posted your opinion in a public forum. Likewise i did so for my own and we can have a rational and amicable discourse on this
Anything wrong in this approach? Or you are only perceptive to opinions that are favourable only? -

All of you out here, if a person is sick, just ignore the person
Gentle reminder
Brasileethopia,
ignore this person.
Refrain from answering sick parents,
especially
when they are outsiders,
got NOTHING, to do with Nanyang Junior College, whatsoever. Except to keep throwing mud, at NYJC. -

1 public nuisance is 1 too many. This person seems kind of abnormal so it’s best to just ignore.
