Actually it depends a lot on parents. Enrichment Centres can do a lot, but if parents do not go through the material with them, the outsome will not be as good.

Rite. Enrichment ctrs are no silver bullets. They facilitate, but there are many other variables at play. I know that some of our PH top students have minimal or even nil enrichment and yet they performed so well. One of the mummies here has been keeping very quiet all these while when we're talking about enrichment. :peekaboo:

To me, it's a fallacy to say think that if I send my kid to XX branded ctr, he'll automatically score an A*.

If i can do it myself and my dd is confident enough to level up to the expectation i set for her , why should i send her for enrichment classes? if we parents can't do it ourselves, then the only right thing to do is to out-source. Do we have any other choices? Unless we are really bo-chap....

K tks! Any idea if the Mindstretcher in the Bt Batok branch is good or not?

ya, now that the seat is not easy to get, it is better to keep my dd in TLL first. i will sign up to join the mindstrecher for my dd in the next few weeks, and will take a decision to choose between.

lizhi, since you are staying in Bukit Timah, may be you should wait for the new one at Clementi Mall, should be nearer for you, right?[/quote]thank you, php. clementi mall and bukit panjiang plaza are all not very far from my place... :love: :love:

Oh. Aren't they afraid that burning the candles at both ends leads to burnt outs?

probably this was the reason why the school was not producing top PSLE scholars lately....

luckily my kids r not there. I'm already lamentg abt d supp classes as it's takin up 2 afternoons of my dd's precious time. She is left with v little time to RnR. Wld hv preferred more time at home with her.

Expectation is Inversely Proportional to RnR?

If Parents Can Accept Not ALL their Kids R A* Material, MayBe Less Stress ALL Round, for Both the Kid And ....

Clementi starting in Mar 2011. They are riding the wave of their good performance after last year PSLE.

Now they also have GEP prep :!: :!: but with caveat ....
they will still screen students for these classes.
