I was told all students must go for the 1st round.

Sounds like it bcos the school only inform us thru letter and not giving us an option form.

Yah i got that letter too, and was thinking why inform us so early? Then I thought maybe they want to give ks parents time to send their dd for GEP preparation classes lol... not my cup of tea definitely[/quote]Last year, there were 2-3 girls in my dd's class who opted not to do the tests. I think no harm in doing. If yr dds get in, you can still decline the offer if you change your minds later.

Actually I dont mind my dd taking the test, or even going into GEP if she really has the apptitude. I am just not for the idea of ppl who actually send their kids to classes 'prepare' for the GEP tests, to increase their chances of getting in etc. I mean , if u are gifted means u are gifted, why need to prepare??

Just to share something: last week my dd told me that she forgot to hand in her spelling book for the teacher to mark. So yest she gave me that book, and passed me a red pen, asking me to mark for her, as she is afraid the teacher will scold her for not handing up last week. I decided not to as it seems that she is asking me to fake the teacher’s markings? So i told her to tell the teacher that she didnt hand in last week, and the teacher can mark her last week’s spelling together with this week’s.


Did I do the right thing? And why is it that the teacher didnt realise my dd didnt hand in her book??
