Am wondering how many parents chose Nanhua as 1st choice fr KP forum here?


I decided to let my son walk to Nanhua next year which may take up to 25 mins when i’m not available to fetch him as he’s been taking things for granted all these while compare to waking up at 7am and take jus 5 mins walk fr home at the moment.

You went for gifted training arh? Me thinks hippos should focus on learning how to dance the Swan Lake first.

My DS told me just now that among 5 selected in his class for GEP, only 1 is the prize winner this year in his level (Not my DS). Hence, good grades in exam not necessary guarantee a place in GEP.

There is a classmate who was not selected for GEP got scolded by his parents. I suppose the parents were heartache of the :moneyflies: :moneyflies: :moneyflies:

Academically gifted doesn't necessarily mean the kid will do well in exams. Gifted but lazy won't get you very far in life, in my opinion.

Sometimes I think some parents take GEP too seriously. Why scold the child if he/she couldn't get into GEP? It just means the kid is better off in mainstream.
