aiyo, why the fixation with RI ?

could it be due to quite a number of KSP parents keep glorifying how good or how happy they r when their boys got a place there....

Aiyo.... i dunno what is 欠揍, so I looked up http://www.nciku.com

Great, learnt something new today!

aiyo, why the fixation with RI ?

Because:
1) Many perceive it to be the best school (rightly or wrongly);
2) Because many perceive it to be so, others think must get into RI even though there are many other good schools around otherwise the general populace will think their kid is not in the best school :roll: :
3) Because you can brag to your relatives during Chinese New Year that Ah Boy got into top school you know and some more this year the COP go up some more;
4) Because RI was the only school that accepted appeals for DSA COs, although their efforts were thwarted by MOE in the end. :evil:

Just to share...
When my ds told his supplier that my ds get into RI...she said..' hor...Why didn't you appeal to ACS(I)?'.... my dh was :skeptical: ...

When my father told his old friend that my ds was offered CO from both RI (A school) and HCI (B school) ...His old friend asked him why didn't apply to C school which is the 'best' school to him..So my father end up asking my sis which is the best secondary school now.. :rotflmao:

There are many good schools in Singapore. As I always say, what's the best school for one boy may not be the best school for another.

haha, if tell another person, maybe will ask why didn't apply to D school? It's a matter of perception, maybe? Any of the top 10 is good if can get in, and there are many good schools in neighbourhood too, i'm sure

I think it is human nature to think that the one with the highest COP must be the best. Believe there was previously this debate in one of the all-girls school thread…


Anyway, what is best for one may not be so for another.
