Yeah, nowadays also hve classes specially tailored for students from top colleges. In subjects like chemistry. elit, hist and economics the national distinction rate(A-levels) is approx 37-38% only. If a student can score dist without attention tuition, he/she is really good.

Btw, yr dd got a place at oxbridge/ivy league uni?

Oh dear... :oops: I forgot. She had Econs tuition for 5 months in J2. :oops: :oops: :oops: So... not that smart lah... Anyway, she doesn't know where she wanna go yet. There are 2 futures to decide, and must be done in co-ordination.

Her boyfriend wanna do law, and best place is Singapore. We like the boy and marriage is even more important than uni so I would rather they not separate. So, possible she will stay here. She is a girl after all. Marriage is more important than ivy league.

And I dun believe she has a place in Ivy League. USA places were already allocated before A levels (or something like that) and she was not confident and so she didn't apply. Cambridge rejected her. But that's all I know. I dun really keep tabs on her, unless I wanna get scolded.

Really ah?! Quite surprised to hear this perspective from a parent. I used to have that perspective too, and told my then-bf then I'd give up my chance at overseas study. He (bless his sweet heart) told me not to be silly, just go since I got such a gd chance.

We did break up after a few years, but very amicably, and I'm SO SO GLAD I didn't give up the chance of overseas study. It's an invaluable experience and broadens one in many ways.

Rlp wise, I'd say, if God meant it to be, it'll be. I know couples who have lasted the test of time and distance.

That's for the dating phase, plus they are so young. Staying in the same country might not guarantee ending up married. Then she might lament giving up the chance to go overseas for a rlp that didn't last after all.

There are plenty of opportunities regionally. She just got offered a one month stint in China... allowance, food and lodging.. We are waiting and praying. Last thing we wanna do is to think that the traditional pathways are best... Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard... tried and tested, but maybe God has better plans.

We really like this boy. Talk about husband material... this is one. We aren't saying \"Don't go\". It's just such a big decision that all perspectives matter... and the 2 youths have their perspectives too.

Guess I'm very blessed that I'm very very glad for the chap I ended up marrying too!

Back to tuition - $6000 monthly in fees is nutty!

It's not something new really when there were cases of uni students' thesis written by others. Now just extend to lower levels that's all.
