i see ... so transfer out is the answer for RI, if a boy can't cope.

Yup, usually unless it is a serious and desperate case (failing), such cases are very very rare. Parents still prefer their ds to stay in RI and load the child with lots of tuition.

but to do law, one has to be very strong in Humanities. Then uni will accept, right ?

When a school has a good reputation to keep, the school will keep its reputation at all costs. Singaporean style.

Haha, very true. Really Singaporean style.

during last Friday open house at RI,


did any parent ask the presenter:
if a boy at end of Sec 2 for some reason or other can't cope with IP curriculum, is there any alternative exit road out ?

I think I asked this before long, long ago. RI asks students who cannot cope to transfer out of the school. However, at the same time, they take in DSA students at Year 5 for sports etc. I asked how this can be fair/good, because these DSA students aren't that good academically as well. Why shouldn't RI work with their own students instead? I think my son did not come back with a reply, I also didn't go and pursue.

Local or overseas? Different criteria.

Do 'O' levels as a private candidate? This is a secret!

IP students can do ' o' level as private candidate?

The DSA kid is a potential medal winner, but the weaker student who transfer out is ..........

By then I retire already lah. Another 6 years woh... I'm already thinking of retiring. Also, it is very difficult to have this kind of chance, there are so many candidates and so many interviewers, almost every lecturer/professor is involved.
