        I have a friend whose daughter was in GEP and she still continue working. Her daughter is very committed and responsible towards her assignments.

        I think the basic criteria for GEPers is they must be motivated in their learning.

              Boys are usually more playful. I heard and see most GEP boys having SAHM in my school. You can see them, in T-shirt and with lunch box waiting for their GEP boys at the school. They usually crowd among themselve. They are also being labelled, \"GEP-mother\", too. I also know a GEP boy whose parents (both) do not seem to be working and both send him and wait for him at school any time and stay with him even during his CCA training, or any competition.

                    GEP is for the rich and using the tax payer money? :!:

                        It's unfair to say this becos there're GEP kids who are not from rich families. Rich families probably tend to have the advantage of sending their kids to enrichment centres and courses and so that increases the chances of their kids going into GEP.

                        Let's not make sweeping statements based on impression.
