The students refused to drop the subject or their parents refused to let them drop it? I can't imagine students who have no interest in the subject and who perform badly would want to continue with it.

The parents refused to let them drop. There are 2 extreme types of parents. One who insisted their kids take HCL when they already do badly for normal CL and other subjects. The other type of parents is afraid that their kids will be stressed if they take HCL. dd had 2 classmates last yr who are very good in their studies, including CL, but their parents refused to let them take HCL. :siao:

If the child is not good in CL and struggling in other subjects, then there's really no point in taking HCL. Might as well take the time to focus on the other core 4 subjects. Don't understand parents who insist on making their kids take HCL. As for the other group of parents, well... maybe they see no point in burdening their kids esp if they're not planning to go to an SAP school. You can always pick up HCL in secondary school.
