Raffles Institution (Year 1-4)

Ok, thanks for sharing. I am worried because he seems to think changing school helps. I am at my wits' end. Hopefully he can be convinced by his form teacher.

My DS appeal at CCA was superficious. I was rather disappointed at the school for the way his case was handled. He was told to stay in Red Cross for another 6 months n see how things go. I thought I can let my DS handle the situation himself - in line with what e school wants. But the tr hardly hears him out n just told him to stay put.
Looks like the parents n doctor have to step in. If the school is looking for higher authoritative instructions (fr doctor) instead of listening out to the student when he appeals, then isn’t it quite sad?
If ultimately he has to switch, why can’t they make provision now instead of making waste 6 months of his time?
Did anyone appeal? Anyone knows of the success rate? -

Since your DS has a valid reason (medical), you should go ahead and talk to the teachers-in-charge (for both Red Cross & Water Polo or Drama) and explain to them your DS' condition, supported by a letter from the doctor. With the doctor's letter, I am sure the school will look seriously into your DS' appeal this time.. Good Luck! -
DS got back 3 tests results yesterday… Math, Science Practical and 3rd Language…
DS did pretty well, surprisingly (full marks for 2 tests), consider that i hardly see him study…
DS says may know English and Chinese tests results today…
When I asked how he think he would fair, DS says ‘‘English 50-50 chance… Chinese sure fail!’’…
Heard from DS that the Chinese test was really tough… Wow, so RI DOES amphasise on Chinese!!! -

may be precisely because they don't emphasize, that is why it is \"really tough\" for the boys ..... :evil: :evil: :evil:DS got back 3 tests results yesterday.. Math, Science Practical and 3rd Language...

Thanks, jtoh.. Ya, the sec-1 boys have been having tests since last week (think it's their CA1?). Besides the 4 core subjects, they will also be having History and Philpsophy tests this week.. Phew!
