I can't help laughing at these exchanges.

The wavelengths of the people involved are different lah...(please don't misunderstand and misinterpret me!)

Tiger Mum is derived from the following book. \"Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother\" by Amy Chua - a controversial book. Fyi

:lol:

You are so right about different wavelengths. I had a good giggle at the misinterpreted Amy Chua reference.

Iam a Japanese and married to Singapore 12 yrs ago, so my English is limited and i admitted i dont read that much as i only pick up English when iam in Singapore. I do misunderstand what you people write. But isnt that very mean for those who laughed at others mistakes. Is that the way u teach your child when his classmates make a mistakes in class...or dont understand what his teachers is trying to say...

People do make mistake - misread or misinterpret info in the heat of exchanges and I think Admin should ban this :rotflmao: icon. It may seem harmless for the one using it. You may not have the worst of intention, but the receiving party may feel terrible insulted.

I suppose finance is the main reason why few actually ventured out . Unless you get a local PSC, MOE, A* star or some GLC scholarhip or best oversea sponsored scholarship, few will ventured out unless sponsored by rich parent.

Did the NUSH principal mention how many NUSH graduates secured government scholarships?

[/quote]Hi MumSah,

My DD is taking Japanese as 3rd foreign language. She has been following Japanese Anime since P5. Good she can now chat with someone in the school.

[MumSAH]

Thank you. That is why i dont dared to used English that much.. Your child is lucky as his mum will never laugh at his child when he made a mistake. How would those feel when their child classmates made this laughing icon at their child or do it in action. It hurts, right?

Indeed the strength of NUSHS is its affiliation to NUS and most year 5/6 students are actually embarking on Undergraduate module studies way beyond the typical IP 'A' level schools.

In the areas of Maths, Science, Engineering and computing course in NUS/NTU/SMU, NUSHS Diploma has the obvious advantage as compare to 'A' level. This same advantage also applies to application and scholarship to well-known universities in US, UK and Japan. NUSH Dip is much in demand. Go to listen to Dr Hang during open house talk in April 2011 for info.

I did go to the open house last year and did hear the pricipal say what you have just mentioned. There is one point that struck to me a bit strange though. Out of the 81 or so students who graduated last year all went to NUS inspite of being offered a place in the top Unis of the world. Not a single student ventured out :shock: I understand that most students must have finished a few modules of undergrad at NUS during thier final years in NUSH and did not want to waste it, but is that the only reason? :?

I suppose finance is the main reason why few actually ventured out . Unless you get a local PSC, MOE, A* star or some GLC scholarhip or best oversea sponsored scholarship, few will ventured out unless sponsored by rich parent.
:([/quote]The best path for these students isn't to take up these scholarships that has a bond. Most likely they will not be placed in a science or technology related job while serving the bond. I think the best path for them will be to get a good degree (local university provides good quality maths and science degree) and then proceed later to post graduate studies in world renowned centers. Post graduate studies in almost every part of the world are based on master-apprentice system, so one usually does not need to pay for fees will receive a small sustenance allowance. So most GLC, PSC, MOE scholarships are out.

I know of really good NUSH graduates who get subsidies by university such as MIT. so their tuition is almost free.
