Rulang Primary

Regrouping into various classes starts after p2 year-end exam. There will be top 3 classes (usually named F, G & H).

Regrouping again at the end of p3 year-end exam.
Isn't this similar to other schools?

My friend told me the top 3 classes are 'R', 'U' then 'L' leh. I assumed that it's the same naming convention throughout P3-P6. Maybe I made the wrong assumption.

Heard that the it is R, U, L... too from parents.

The R,U,L etc starts from p5 onwards.

P3 & p4 use A,B,… and the last 3 classes are the top 3 classes.
I dont know the reason.

Also, HCL will be offered from p5 onwards and thus the renaming or regrouping seems necessary.

some schools actually don't fix the class naming of the top classes so that parents don't get stressed over whether in or out of the top classes. it changes every year and NEVER announce it. by the time parents guessed it....it is almost SA2 liao....lol

Kids can be motivated to enter the top 3 classes, just like all parents doing their best to get kids into the top schools. :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.

I do not have kids in this school. My friend likes the school because of the drilling. Reasons are simple: to get at least 26+ for PSLE and 'help' to get in top sec school thru' DSA. Mother happy, kid suffers. The kid hated the parents until the kid suceeded in the application of top sec school thru' DSA. On top of the tonnes of homework, majority of the students have at least 2 tuitions.

So the kid has stopped hating the parents now?

I wonder if those who does not attend for tuition does actually fair poorer than those who does... considering the tonnes of homework and drilling already...

Is this worth it at the expense of a mother-child relationship?

Parents and kids have their ways of finding out the top classes very quickly. Just look at the kids in the class and see which class the top scorers are in. You don't even need to be a kaypo to know.
