Compare RGS vs NYGH
-
jtoh:
In my books, distance is a small issue if you really want to go the school of your choice. Singapore is not that huge, especially if the school's new location is not that far from its current location. If RGS was moving to Tuas or to Changi, then it might be a real issue to those who prefer its current location But to Braddell? Some might even view that location as more convenient because the MRT station is nearby.[/quote]My view is strictly based on the above quotes only that “Not everyone has the luxury of travelling to school by car”
agree.......even if the child has the luxury of travelling to sch by car,Augmum:
[quote=\"Busymom\"]Not everyone has the luxury of travelling to school by car.
there' re times whereby the child needs to use public transport to get home, (esp when he/she is older)
so distance is still a issue ............
the amt of time spent on road can be put into better use such as more sleep hrs, (for better cognitive development to aim for better results)
more time to spend with family members or game time, etc......
(though I do fetch my gal to and fro 4 trips a day).
Even if he/she has the luxury, there’ll be times whereby the child needs to take public transport back home fr school
so Distance is still an issue when comes to choosing a choice school.
It is not specifically referring to whether RGS moved from point A to point B. -

Just putting my point across too. I wasn't trying to dispute your point. Sometimes the written word isn't too clear.

KSP:
Institution*Busymom:
HCI is the old Hwa Chong? :?
Now Hwa Chong Institute.
RI, HCI
Why is RI always called Institution, with no concept of institute while we are always called Institute? Too used to calling it chinese high is it -
dimsum:
During my time (i was born in mid 70s), The PSLE cut off point for RGS was ALWAYS higher than NYGH. It's the no. 1 girl's school. So I was quite surprised when I read that for last year, NYGH's COP was the highest. Seems like there's a shift?
RI/RGS cop dropping already, not the 270 people keep thinking off. Now averagely 262-3 only -
verykiasu2010:
pass both languages and enjoy 2 more bonus points granting admission to the wa-so-impossible HCI and RI
pass your O level HCL and you can say good bye to CL in JC foreverBusymom:
That means that if you do HCL in PSLE, and when you apply for non-SAP secondary school, you don't get any bonus points even if you have done well in it? :shock: :shock:
That's almost like a \"waste\" of your time and effort, wouldn't it? I mean \"waste\" not from a learning perspective (because you definitely gain something from it), but \"waste\" from the point of PSLE aggregate.
And if you are in the non-SAP secondary schools, what is the advantage of continuing with HCL? :? -
Vinarc:
Good one! Maybe attractive to the ladies instead! :lol:verykiasu2010:
talk is that RGS girls very career minded one ..... corporate head honcho....work till forget to date and forget to meet the boys ..... the only boys their meet are in the board room and all got defeated la......foreverj:
OH, the above quotes are interesting. I have been reading this section of the forum for sometime. I have something to add.i like the fact that RGS girls r more opinionated, able to articulate their thoughts well.
I have an employee who told me that if you don’t want your daughter to be left on the shelves, you better don’t sent your daughter to RGS. Opinionated ? I have also met exRGS women in my business contacts who are so opinionated to the extreme that I would have called them arrogant, display of self-importance, domineering. And fyi, most of them are unmarried. Bear in mind that too opinionated is never an attractive point to men. -

This reminds me of an article on \"Boss and I\" so now I am going to write one for man and woman.
When a smart man shares his opinions, it is seen as famous quotes
When a smart lady shares her opinions, it is seen as opinionated
When a smart man shows he knows what he wants, it is confidence
When a smart woman shows she knows what she wants, it is arrogance
When a smart man places self before others, it is leadership
When a smart woman places self before others, it is self-importance
When a smart man insists on his way, it is assertion
When a smart woman insists on her way, it is domineering
:lol: :lol: :lol:
The world is just such a funny place to be in... :lol: :lol: :lol: -

Haha... that sounds like my DH! He prefers his DD to grow up to respect their elders, have filial piety, not too headstrong, be nice, courteous and congenial!!! Does that project on what guys are looking for in gals?!?! :lol:In my chats with mums and kids, I find that while many of the girls are keen on RGS, their mums prefer them to go to NYGH. The reason most often given is that NYGH is strong in cultural and traditional values, that it's bilingual and their girls will grow up to respect their elders, have filial piety and will not be too headstrong.

sama, sama, DH also influenced dd to apply NYGH DSA and not RGS. 'cos scared dd will be too domineering and always argue with him (aft observing our niece who just graduated from RGS/ RJC). seems like s’pore guys still very traditional and can’t stand lady boss.
