      Interestingly ... Alex (PSLE 2010 Top student) was listed as their students (refering to Mindstretchers), then I also found his name on the TLL Notice board.

      But according to newspaper, he did not have any enrichment class. :lol:

      Then does it mean these centres pay him to be their poster boy? :roll:[/quote]well, maybe Alex really in both MS and TLL before...maybe just for few months.., maybe he was there when he was in P1, or P2....etc...
      still qualified as their student, right? and then both centres fast enough to put him as their poster boy when the result came out....

      the morale of the story is that one doesn't need to trust the advertisements too much....see for yourself, you are the best judge....

          Actually, if I am to choose a course, after I gather information from actual students/parents, I also evaluate the effect on my child. One method that works on some children, may not work for others.
          Agree! 😄
          By the way, how long will you let your DD to do mummy work everyday. My boy don't want to do any extra work and we also don't want to stress him since there are already a lot of homework as compared to last year.

              Yes, agreed.. MS's advertisement impacted me very much, but finally made me disappointed. their ads are everywhere but TLL never...
              besides it is not very honest and reliable on charges, when my dd attend their exams of english & math, they told me once she finished her exam, they would call me asap. but in fact, my dd didnt know how much time she spent, and only her alone in the classroom. so she hurried to answer qns and passed sheets to the teacher about one hour and a half early...but nobody informed me! when i just came out from the liberary, made me surprise! she was seen standing at the doorway... she told me she has waited me around 20 mins... (she knew it from outside clock) :stupid:

                Any advertisements on EDUCATION with HIGH success rate, usually parents will not be able to resist…esp those who can afford. However, there is a handful of those who are not so well-off, who will still send their kids for extra classes.

                Sometimes I wonder, are the top scholars (PSLE, ‘O’ level) drinking Brands Essence of Chicken ?

Not for me, but for DD. I give it to her during exam period. 😉 😉
