Ghees,



Your child also in/going to Rulang?

Hi,

I'm thinking if I would send my child to Rulang cos I'm staying near the school. But if I were to send my child there I would have to volunteer myself in the PV to advance her chances during the registration, cos neither my hub or myself is a student there.

since you/your spouse are NYPS alumni, why create unnecessary headache for yourself ? lol

Hi,


After reading all u parents posts, I want to mention the followings:

1. Mindless drilling may still be useful in the stage of Primary School. However, once your kids go to those top Sec Sch, I don't think it still can work. The top Sec Sch requires more sensible and wide thinking. Most of the questions and project require creative ideas. No more models in Maths. No more oral notes given. They require your own expression and personal thinking. How those mindless drilled students can face those changes?

2. As I know, most of the P6 Rulang students still got personal tution after 4 pm. Some of them cried after they lose their voice. But the teachers still asked them to continue to recite the oral notes on Wednesday (the day before the PSLE Oral Exam). I really feel sorry for the students. The parents really save money? I really want to know how many students will get in top rank in PSLE this year.

Hope the school be kind to the students, learning is life long. The teacher shd tell the students the concept of each new topic clearly. Then, teach them how to apply in daily life through the questions and paper. Then, learning is fun and more practical. thnks.

ALSO HEARD, the teachers find certain text books not so good, so decided to give her / his own notes. BUT they expect the students to TAKE NOTES (like u did in uni lecture)......poor kids, since when are they taught to take notes.....don't know what they missed.....at this age, the school should just print the notes for them, if it is the good intention to supplement the 'lousy' text. And if the school thinks the text is no good, then change it......

Err... so much school work still got tuition?

...can you share how you come to know that the teacher insist they recite oral notes even when they lose their voice the day before PSLE Oral?

Sorry but I just would like to know if it is personal experience coz it sounds totally heartless.. and I'm hoping it is just he say, she say, they say...

Cos distance is the issue.. I don't really want to stress my kids due to the distance they have to travel to school everyday.. and its for 6 years!!

I know there some students in NYPS comes all the way from JB, and they commute to and fro JB everyday! Not sure abt now, but at least I know during my time there are some schoolmates who do that & I really pity them, imagine what time they have to get up?

Ya. Wld appreciate if someone’s kid is currently in Rulang to give us a more realistic feedback. All the hearsays may be exaggerated or probably happened just to that 1-2 persons.

I can’t feedback much cos my ds is only in p1 this yr n like I mentioned b4, he loves school n his teachers. He does hv hmwk daily n like I say it’s manageable. This sept hol, he is given hmwk as well. Maths activity bk, math wksht, CL writing n worksheet, EL journal n shared writing. Looks a lot rgt but he finishes them all today. He did some on Friday, Saturday n this morning. N he didn’t spend d whole day doing hmwk. Friday nite, he watched tv frm 8.30-11pm. Sat, he went playgrd wif his sis after his aikido class and now as I am sending this post, he’s downstairs scooting.

If what you said is true (I still hope it's not), then I am very shocked :shock: .

If students lose their voices, how to do well for PSLE oral?

I also want ds to do very well for PSLE. But reading the last few posts made me realised where my threshold level is.

But I still hope that these extreme examples are either a misunderstanding or one-off.

there are also people from Jurong West Extension going to NYPS daily, and taking school bus home every day

to us reasonable adults, it seems so unreasonable to have such thing happening

have you all forgotten just the other day during the PSLE Oral exam, the second batch of students were forced to stand and wait outside the school gate in the pouring rain ? (Not Rulang, hor) and the guardhouse refused to open the gate without permission from the authority.....remember the 'halal' canteen incident ?

nothing is impossible

i guess a trusted brand is still a trusted brand

what I quoted are from my children's cousin's experience, looking for a transfer, and my children's tutor's children who studied in Rulang. The tutor is also ex-school teacher

this is just sharing of experiences. there is NO intention to paint the school in a bad light
