Sorry to interrupt, not all good apple + good apple will ensure a very good apple or at least the same quality apple.

I remembered in Pri, my classmate mum is a teacher and father a doc both degree holder, but my classmate and her bro report book mostly bloody scenes one except for english.

I've seen a lot of GEPpers having non-GEP parents. Case of nature vs nurture debate I supposed.

Maybe we should have a poll on parents whose kid(s) is in GEP, if either they or their spouse is a GEPer?

Back then, RI had girls.

Those were pre-u 1 & 2, before RJC started

GEP testing started in 1983 for the first batch in 1984

RJC started in 1982 hence there was never any GEP girls in RI. The first batch was in RGS secondary or RGPS, and GEP for secondary is up to sec 2 only anyway

GEP for secondary school up to Sec 4. Believe for the first batch there were 4 classes in RI. Ratio boys to gals was about 2:1.

I think back then (warao, sounds like mountain tortoise), integration to \"mainstream\" was good. These GEP'rs are still friends after all these years. Now, it's been made into such a hoohaa :siao: (no offence) that there's a prestige tagged to it. In RGPS, there are periods where the GEPers \"integrate\" with the same cohort gals! :whut:

Yeah, my impression is that there were more boys, but just not sure how many more.

Hmm... could also be that in the 80s-90s, the GEPers whose parents were non-GEP or non-degree holders were as such because they lacked money and opportunities for education. their parents could still be genetically very smart.

But I also believe that not all bright parents produce bright children.

As with genetics, they always say diversity is the key to producing exceptional quality right? Too much inbreeding etc not quite recommended haha! So vk2010's wife, all is not lost, esp since yr kids are doing well right? *wink*
