      We were told at the briefing last Sat, P1&P2 will be at a different site at Toh Tuck (think from next year??) If parents are thinking of putting their younger one into NY within a year or two, have to take this into consideration
      It is the yr after that they will move...

          [quote=\"lwzh\"] yeah, I can't believe it, last year it had 16 students in. So big different, what happened?


          if 'giftedness' is naturally and not by training, then why shd anyone be surprised? :?

          Yes, if all conditions remain the same as before, why results can't keep consistent. Or do u mean the only changed condition is trained before but no training any more in nan hua?[/quote]Sorry, don't really understand. Even all conditions remain the same, the students taking the test are different wat. You mean whether the kids are natural gifted or not depend on which school they go? :? It should not be so right?

              I agree, students are different so results could also be different, the school does not provide any training for students to get into GEP. Perhaps parents from NH less kiasu? they don't send their kids for training unlike some others?? better :siam:
