Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)
-
it is like any British passport holders refuses to acknowledge their national anthem as \"God Saves the Queen\".....then renounce their British citizenship lor ....
or like the US American, if they are so offended by their money, \"In God We Trust\"....then they just use foreign currencies on US soil and make sure they don't carry US currency or has anything denominated in USD.....lor
sorry I am just adding oil to the fire.... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: -
It’s a free choice!
Can opt not to attend service by writing in. Alternatively, can attend physically but heart is not there. As long as students are not force to embrace the faith, ACSI does nothing wrong.
If don’t like chapel service, do not join this school. Very simple, no need further argument. -
My son is and has been with the ACS family for the last 8 years and attends their assembly and chapel(whenever-usually Once a week).till date I have not found him being pushed into following the service.initially in the p1 and2 years he would have ALOT of questions but our continuous stress to respect other faiths and teaching him more on ours quietened him and now he knows.I feel that if as a parent if u have taught him to believe in your religion, than as a teenager he should not be torn or you should not have the fear.parents have to do their homework first.

No, they’re not pushed into accepting anything, although chapels and services are mandatory.
To be honest, the practices in the school are so hypocritical, the senior management so into playing favourites and lording it over their own personal fiefdoms, the teachers so into all talk and no action…it’s enough to drive people OFF Christianity rather than to it.
It’s a glib, self-indulgent, hypocritical, arrogant Christianity they practice with so many "roll your eyes" moments it’s not funny…not at all like the real deal…
I know so many students who are turned off, FAR more than those pulled to it. And those turned off include a large majority of those already Christians. -

That's your personal opinion, and you have a right to it. I would also say that your opinion includes many sweeping statements. I think that you are actually stating an opinion that applies to about 20% of the staff or less. That's bad enough; no need to tar the rest with your over-broad brush.To be honest, the practices in the school are so hypocritical, the senior management so into playing favourites and lording it over their own personal fiefdoms, the teachers so into all talk and no action....it's enough to drive people OFF Christianity rather than to it.

Perhaps you need to be more critically honest with yourself. -

Ah, this one contains an untruth. Chapel and services are not mandatory but they are the default. A parent may indeed write in and ask for exemption. It has been requested before, and the request granted. It's an odd thing for a client to do, but it is also the right thing to allow. -

Hi Parents,
I noticed that the number of pupils who scored 6A1 and above (based on GCE 'O' level 2010) in ACS(I) are lowered compare to SJI and VS. :? Whereas, their IB result is the best in the world. Can I conclude that ACS(I) is putting all their resources on IB than GCE 'O' level express stream? Any parent can comment on that?
If I have a child who is qualified for the above schools' COP to pursue GCE 'O' level, should I consider SJI or VS rather than ACS(I)?
Please advise. Thank you.
