yah and heaven forbid if you dare criticise their schools because in their eyes, the schools and their kids can never do wrong :roll:

well, when the extreme from both sids, eg, the 'bragging rights' meets the 'sour grapes', there'll definitely be a nuclear explosion!!

True. But sometimes the people commenting aren't sour grapes. Just any negative comment or observation will set them off. :siam:[/quote]I guess just have to avoid \"interacting\" with overly sensitive people..

Not just primary school. Secondary school lagi sensitive and defensive.

For secondary school, parents will feel like their kids made it in because they are good, so negative comments equate criticizing the kids' ability... so another minefield to avoid. :siam:

(read before that every year about 10% of the P6 cohort will be posted to elite schools while the balance 90% go to non elite or also known as neighbourhood schools)
