Went to RI today, they rejected all DSA appeals due to MOE. Sigh ! Cannot go to RI lo :gloomy:

Do not sulk over your 'misfortune'. This could be a blessing in disguise. My nephew, an ex-rafflesian, who managed a score of 267 some years ago had the following comments about RI: We were like outcasts in the eyes of the teachers. Competition in the school was so stiff. The teachers' pets were the Chinese scholars, some GEPers and the superbrainies. It's very frustrating that every effort you put into the projects were graded as sub-standard compared to those fellow classmates. The worst was we were accused of being lazy. At a tender age of 13-16, some of us soon lost our confidence and self-esteem as we used to be the precious top-scorers in our primary schools. Well, such is the harsh reality of our local educational system, agree?
So the next time you see a rafflesian, he could be desperately struggling within. So do not envy. Look ahead and enjoy the journey in your :heresmyfish: new secondary school.

Are you talking about your nephew's experience at RI, or your own experience at RI? No offense.. Coz you kept using the pronoun 'WE'... :scratchhead:
