Hi Witty22


I have personally spoken with Mrs Tan Khim Yong, Mother Tongue HOD and had asked her abt the differences between these so called top class.

Am not sure if my interpretation is correct - but she specifically told me there isn't truly TOP class. Generally, they are putting students with average results the same - 3 subjects all the same hor.. into a class.

I would take it as - meaning that's the scholar class then, all subjects with good results. But she kept saying there's no TOP class, it's just a \"rumour\". So i am also kind of confused.

You ask the HOD sure she won't tell you lah what top class is all about. There a rumour that each level have the top 3 class which generally group them as M, A2 & S. These 3 classes would be teach at turbo pace as compare with the rest of the classes.

I guess after P2 the children would be allocated to different classes according to their results.

What results? There is no exam for P2s. Are they relying on the unit reviews then? :scratchhead:

My DD got SA1 when she was in P1, this year the best 3 classes were 2I,2H, and 2G...those 3 classes have their own individual math and english teacher, the rest classes' english and math teacher are the same 1 person.

Yah lor. Was happy when I saw the new principal's photo, thinking that the rest of the page would be updated, too. Disappointed when I saw the words \"Form Teachers 2010\".... :roll:

Photos of the most of the teachers were updated... I wonder why they didn't update the form teachers for 2011

Because they haven't decided on which teacher will teach which class? :scratchhead:

Next year will be the first year the school implements no exams for P1s and P2s, as per MOE's directives.

When I asked Mdm Tan Kim Yong how could the school stream the pupils if there were no exams, her reply was, \"no streaming\".

However, I think the school will use the various worksheets (aka tests) to stream the pupils, somehow.
