What happens to students that don't do well in IP schools?

[24by7mum]

Thanks everyone for sharing your information! It seems that the IP schools will try to keep the students unless they are really far behind. That begs the question as to whether they are "propping" up the average students.

they can't prop them up if the kids don't pull up their socks

those who can't get in to IP schools are not stupid

Totally agree that there a lot of smart kids who do not go to IP schools! Lots of late bloomers too! :)) You are very in the know re such stuff! Thanks for all your input!

[quote=\"daisyt\"]Different school adapt different ways. Some have a O level class. Some would retain students. Some would get the students to transfer out.


Which school in particular are you looking at?

Just curious, does RV high has a \"O\" level class too?

Used to have but this year is the last batch. Next year onwards, no more. At least this was what the P mentioned on a talk.[/quote]Thank you for the info.

[quote=\"sautille\"]HCI principal said in this year's Open House that there is a class of (14-15, I can't remember the exact figure) O level students in HCI. I don't recall him mentioning what will happen to this class after O levels though.

Thanks for the information!

But take note. If you get into this class in sec 3, you still have a chance of going back to IP. I know of 2 cases.[/quote]Can you share whether the 2 cases of taking up 'O'Level is self volunteery? of what MSG at end of yr 2? and under what circumstances they went back to IP? I was told the students there are given options even to choose taking 'O'level if they want to switch to poly track or switching to another JC which they don't have to do CL if they get a past in 'o' level HCL, unlike they need at least a B3 in HCI to skip CL at JC yrs... kindly confirm.

MSG above 4.0 would get you into a Q class (o level class), and by attaining good results at then end of the sec 3 year, you can get back into IP (I can't define, not sure). For the rest i'm not sure.

There was one RGS who took ‘O’ level - Quah Ting Wen. But she took it so that she enrol in US uni.


In papers, it mentioned that some IP students dropped out and switch to poly.

I believe most of them are doing very well and instead chose to go poly after knowing what their interests lie in.
