      Wish your friend finds out his/her son's reason for declining results and help him improve in time. If he continues failing 5 subjects including English, even going to another school with \"normal\" chinese, he may not do well in O Level overall?
      well, the boy ever gave the excuse that the world is coming to an end in 2012 :roll:

      another is that he wants to be a professional sportman.

        that could possibly the distraction causing the failings

        he needs to be counselled to find out whether sports is really his true love

        if he has been doing fine in his studies previously, the sudden failure is usually brought on by teenagers' issues like BGR, family disharmony, distractions like sudden interest in sports or hobbies.....etc, sometime a little more than some advice on time management and setting the right priorities may help

          This is not the first time I heard this message from sec school students which affect their results. Wonder where ithe source is and if it has been predicted by scientist. It seems quite common now and feel school needs educate the students mindset as a whole.

            If that's his Real Love, (Not just an Excuse !) He could consider to transfer to SPore Sports School - not to say that SSS is less academic-inclined, but he could balance his studies & Sports training.

              well, for sports, there's a distinct diff between being in love with it and talented in it :lol:


              for his case, I sense that it's just escapism after much discussion with the dad.

                    may be a verbal indication but not black and white confirmation .... subject to performance up to DSA time next year (P6)

                        Its confirmed.

                        You mean HCI issued a confirmed offer to a Pri 5 student ?

                        Does not it contravene DSA rules that it is only for P6 pupils ?

                        Does that mean HCI has informed MOE on the DSA offer made to the P5 boy as is required for the offer given to P6 boys ?
