Hi all,


For the two best classes from P3 onwards, are the students placed randomly in the top two classes? Or the 1st forty will be placed in the first class?

Hi gohsoonk,
In previous years, 1st forty will be placed in 1st class, next forty in the 2nd class. But not sure if they will make any changes next year.

cheers!

I am not sure what is the criteria now. My child is ranked 2nd in class. The 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th go to one class while my child goes to another class. The process is not transparent.

So, is your child going to 1st or 2nd class?

2nd class. He is ranked between 10 - 15 of the entire cohort.

2nd class. He is ranked between 10 - 15 of the entire cohort.[/quote]Some schools practice alternate positions in the 1st n 2nd classes. Meaning, 1st position in the whole cohort goes 1st class, 2nd goes 2nd class, 3rd goes 1st class n so on... So if they work out that way now, and if your child's position in whole cohort is even number, then your child should be posted to 2nd class... Just my guess.. Maybe you can call the school to check.

The school could have grouped all those who cleared gep round 1 into 1st class. My niece ranked above 30th but has been placed in 1st class for next year.

My child was balloted out of MTS earlier. This afternoon, the school called and said there is a vacancy for my child. Wondering if I should take up this offer. In a dilemma as my child had gone for orientation at the other Pri school and we had bought uniforms and books. Positive vibes felt at the other school.

Would like to hear from existing MTS parents how you find MTS so far for your child.
Am I silly to give up the chance to join MTS?

[gohsoonk]

It depends on what U are giving up. MTS is very good for character building. On the other hand, my opinion is that they lack the competitive drive to compete in everything from academic to cca. The homework is not a lot for P1 and P2. Of cuz, I am benchmarking against the known schools.

[gohsoonk]

Just to add. The upper primary students are usually polite and respectful.

[gohsoonk]

One point I missed out for academic is that their Chinese standard is very good. I have only positive feedback for all the Chinese teachers in mts teaching my kids in p2 and p1 so far. For others aspects, no comments. Come in to find out.
