talking abt retain.....

i wonder can the pupils choose to retain instead of going to O lvl class if he/she scored a GPA of between 2-2.4 ??

any1 knows ??

If a student scores poorly, isn't it better for him/her to go O level class. Then if he/she can get good O level results, then continue to do A level. Total: 6 yrs.
If he/she retains, he/she will need a total of 7 years to do the A level.

hmm...Yes and No....
logically speaking ....yes.....
if the pupil could not do well in the IP syllabus, it 's better to switch to O lvl class.
but once switch to O lvl class, think it's tough to go back to IP (though they did say that it's possible, \"provided they did very well\")
there were pupils who had chosen to retain in the IP track,
though they can simply go to other schs doing sec3 (if they din wanna to stay in the same sch)

For students in the O level class, do they continue to do their A level in DHS, or do they opt for poly or another JC?

i am not too sure abt this....
but since they have an O level cert, there are other doors openings to go.....

I think for students who cannot cope with the IP style of learning, it is better to go to conventional O level track and then join the JC section in the same school or any other JCs. In this way, he/she would have save one year. Afterall, the IP is only beneficial for the extra enrichment contents if the students can cope with it. If the students don’t even cope with A level well, it is quite pointless to talk about all the extra enrichment.


logical? anybody agree or not?

[quote=\"bleeze\"]My colleague's son at RI and did badly in year 1 to 4. RI principal told my colleague that her son's results could not even make it to any JC. Not even the most unpopular JC. However, my colleague's son automatically joined RJC despite the poor results. Now already in JC2 and doing \"A\" level this year. No retain and no \"O\" level and yet just join RJC... :?

How can the school let him automatically joined RJC? How if he cnt pass his A level?

My gal is in DHS year 4 this year. One of her classmate will be retained due to poor result.

I think is good for her in long run....

is there such a leniency practice in RI ??
where the pupil could \"autmatically\" joined RJC
despite the P knows that this particular pupil A lvl results
would not even qualify for the most unpopular JC.
this is baffling me........

yes, i too think it's better to spend another yr to brush up,
for better preparation of the A lvl, then to juz promote the pupils shd the results are poor. (not only for A lvl)[/quote]My colleague told me that Principal only spoke to her that her son did very badly in year 4, even his std can't pass normal \"O\" level exam. But the princial said that he would give him a chance to promote him to JC1. Now the son is in RJC2 and doing 'A' lvl this yr. He is working very hard now and results seems to be quite OK for last minute work. I think it is his luck...This proof that our most importat education stage is PSLE -to \"squeeze\" into the best sec sch.
