ADVICE FOR MY BOY

[twilight]

There are many Indonesian scholars who come to Singapore and enter the sec 3 level with not much problem. And they take HML for their MT subject. Other than Indonesians, there are PRC, Vietnamese, Thai and many many many students of other nationalities who come here and enter sec 3. Most are able to cope with it. So I don’t think it’s necessary for you to let your son go down a level, unless the school specifically requires you to do so. I know schools like RGS will request some of their students to enter a year down if they want to be admitted into the school.

Thanks for your reply.


You seem know very well about it. Are you experienced in this kind of situation? Can you suggest me how the best to prepare my son?
Can you also tell me their (scholars you mentioned) experience?
How can they take HML in sec 3? How can they get atmitted to RGS?
Please :?: :?: :?: I really have no idea about it :stupid: :stupid: :oops:


I assume they do can do well because they have prepare it months before the new term start. My son has just started to prerare on the middle of this month.

hi i think it is best that you consult the principal of that school you want your child to enrol in. maybe the principal could offer better solutions


of course, tuition and enrichment should not be neglected, it is always better to have a headstart. maybe you can try out krtc@marine parade? they are quite experienced in dealing with such cases. they might be able to offer you some opinion on your child's difficult position

hi guys thanks for your reply...

bear in my mind I don't know where he will be posted to right now.
Is it a good idea to discuss it with the headmaster?

Is that true you cannot active in CCA in sec 3?
Is that true that if you apply to uni, my son will be disadvantaged
if he goes to sec 2?

To twilight:
i have checked and just replied your email :):)
Thanks for your BIG help

According to my friend, his DS had to sit for a test from school then he’ll be advised to put his DS in suitable level.


Your son was in SMU 1 right? Means he just finished his 1st semester only as the school started in July.

[kiakia-2010]

yes my son had to sit the test..



no.. my son went to go to Singapore before he completed his middle term of SMU 1. He is doing fine in math, science etc. The problem is
that in English. I hope if he goes to sec 2, he will be able to
adapt further to the english lessons, do the CCAs more actively before O Level to have brighter future... However if I'm afraid he will be disadvantaged during admission to other institution...

Please help me...

I can only say, it depends on how much risk you are willing to take. As you are not sure of the school your son is going to, there’s not much I can advise.

[kiakia-2010]

i’ll think it again and again…
please write if you have any opinions…
Thx
