Glad tt that don't happen in my Ds school or at least not his cohort .. :roll:

Vlim, Mind me asking whst school did your DS come from ?

Also for parents already with kids in GEP, may I ask do you know roughly what % of your DD/DS classmates attend TLL ?

Both my kids don't attend enrichment classes except for MT. My DD from mainstream has many classmates who attend TLL but she is hardworking and did well enough not to lag behind them in class, in fact even better than some who do. I don't have plans to send DS to any enrichment
classes after he starts the GEP. My question is - if he is like his elder sister and puts in his own effort, would it as \"easy\" for him to cope in the GEP class ? Perhaps it is easier to do so in mainstream but for GEP syllabus it is tougher ?

Thanks for sharing !

Hi my Ds from rosyth and at time I do stand at roadside to wait for him t come out from rosyth ....
Jokes apart... My Ds only has chinese tuition.. And he is able to cope with the Ge programme without other tuition.. Infact I think , for him, instead of spending times on tuitions ( except cl), he is using the time to produce
more quality assignment/projects works plus of course doing worksheets .. He need time and space for critical and analytical thinking ...
Emmmmm... Of course some do find tuition helpful to them . ... Like my p3 dd ...

Registration form indicates at least 3 choices of school. Errrm… Does it mean we cannot indicate only 1 or 2?

anything to stop you from putting down all 3 choices to be identical one ?

Went to recce NYPS and check out travelling and walking time by public transport. Quite a fair bit of walking from Farrer MRT station I must say. And if bad weather confirm will be drench.


NHPS and HPPS easier route from where I am located. DD dont like HPPS so we are down to NHPS or NYPS. Will decide after Sat’s briefing…

Help…I am having a headache.

I think is okay to put in only 1 or 2 as last time I put in only 2 choices for my elder DS , so this time for my younger DS, I will only put in 1 choice... :rahrah:

phtthp:

besides distance issue, normally what other reason(s) can it be?
