I don't think that IP schools are so horrible .

IP Schools suit me. I think more homework and pressure is something we have to deal with in secondary school.

If you say so. when i said more, i meant more as compared to that of more mainstream schools. trust me though, it's a lot harder than you think it is. and the key is, don't work hard, work smart.

I protest. Our education system should not be teaching our kids bootlicking, class politicking etc...

It doesn't what...it helps open the students' minds, stretch their potentials, discover their passions, etc. Helps students become more independent and adapt to a don't stop learning kind of attitude.

I am STUDYING in an IP school, and while I love this whole system and all, I find my classmates absolutely disgusting. It varies from school to school, really. In my school, almost everyone is for backstabbing, someone stole my notes before the exams, and I actually kept them painstakingly in a file in my bag. Go figure.

So don't you think it's a bit presumptuous to claim that ALL IP schools are as such? Over-generalization much? I'd go so far as to say it varies from class to class. Depends on your luck, really. And such competitive behaviour isn't found only in IP schools; it's everywhere. Sad to hear that your school has such a poor culture though. Mine didn't, thankfully.

And what's so bad about the homework? My cousin did O levels and I'm pretty sure she did A LOT more homework than I did overall. It is managable. Everything is; you just need to plan your time well.

Isn't that part of the education system here in Singapore ?
I'm all for IP in fact, because it guarantees me a place in JC and I would have much more time preparing for A Levels.
Classroom politics? What do you mean?
Homework and pressure is something I would have to cope in secondary school, whichever one I choose.

Good positive attitude!

For the record, please don't use 'much'. Reminds me of horrible things I had to go through. o.O
No, I would go as far as to say that such competitive behaviour is largely restricted to IP schools. And well, the workload? Well I don't know, they stuffed us with tonnes of performance tasks that don't make too much sense, bar the history and lit performance tasks. Over this hol I had to take home some work to do for next year as well. So there. Time management? Bah, yea, sure, it's the panacea to everything right? No amount of time management's gonna help if the teacher doesn't like what you are/do in the first place

If you hate IP so much, complain to MOE. You cannot expect everyone to think like you.

I agree its a 'finally'. Without intervention and moderation top students would be from china and marks variance between schools would be wider. Now no need headache to choose primary school, every school everywhere in singapore is the same.

What's wrong with students from China? If they're talented and willing to go for it, I'm sure the Singaporeans can challenge them so please, don't lament and just work harder.
I see you are for conformity. Typical Singaporean, you are.

I do not have any objection, if a student from China/Malaysia/Indonesia etc got the highest and become the top scorer, that only means Singaporean student are not up to their standard yet but for this year if Alex Tan is the top student and he is a Singaporean, then I do not think my initial sentence is wrong cos if I remember correctly, last year top student is from China

DS got 255. I am happy with it.
