All Schools are GOOD Schools
-
And, also 1 year FREE healthcare at any of the polyclinics over SG. FREE class C ward charges for hospitalization at Govt hospitals. Operation charges 20% discount…
Not allowed to seek any private practitioner/hospitals within this 1 year… -
Maybe it should be put the other way round, which is : \" All Schools are BAD schools.\"
I will feel more appeased as that is closer to reality. My apology to the few (endangered) good teachers reading this post. Yes there are these few good teachers out there but your number is too small to compensate the opposing force. -

:faint:
don't limit to schools..Mawar:
Why ballot? Am afraid there will be no takers la.
Since they like balloting so much... ballot for HDB, ballot for school, ballot for National Day tickets... So let them experience how it feels to want something soooo bad but have no control over outcome. In their case, gan cheong that they would be so lucky.
They shd ballot(or lucky draw?) to get 1 years free public transport for their WHOLE family.
During this 1 year, they are not allowed to drive their cars. And maybe limit to 10 taxi rides per month (also free) in case of emergency.
Sounds good? :evil: :evil:
How about if take trishaw? Can or not?
:laugh:

Pupils and students graduate with the same PSLE, 0-level and A- level certs. There’s no such thing as nanyang pri sch psle cert or raffles inst a-level cert. So what’s the difference?
If the resources of top schools are so far apart from a neighbourhood school, then no need for top schools’s pupils or students to report to learning lab, humanities hub etc.
Its all about parents /pupils perception. At uni level, work place all these things are no longer that relevant. -
Edureach:
How do you explain that more than 40% of Nanyang Pri students get 25X and above at PSLE? Primary schools intake does not discriminate by IQ. Left to random forces Nanyang Pri should not be producing such results. What else explains it?Pupils and students graduate with the same PSLE, 0-level and A- level certs.

Chenonceau, Pupils of Nanyang Pri come from more affleunt background. Their families hve stronger financials at their disposal to engage top private tutors if the needs arises. Its the pupils that make up the enviroment. If you place such pupils at a decent neighbour sch, they would also perform. No problem.
Don’t forge that each yr, many neighbourhood schs do produce top pupils too.
Personally, i am totally not interested in all these top pri schs and did not attempt to send my kids to famous pri schools out of choice due to distance. They both studied at a neighbourhood sch. After their PSLE, they could pick a top sch of their choice with the exception of nus high, sota and sports sch.
I am far more interested in character building. That’s why my elder ds will be teaching mid-tier and lower tier jcs’
students in hist and econs after church service whereas my younger dd is engaging teens with lower learning abilities ie ite types. -

Actually, not all Nanyang Pri families are affluent. A large number of places are allocated to alumni. Their socio-economic status is not a given, but I wouldn't know for sure...Edureach:
I am more inclined to believe that these are from affluent homes... or at least homes that can afford enough enrichment for the child to pull ahead of lacklustre teaching. Statistically, this is of greater likelihood than having a large proprtion of rich parents in Nanyang. It's easier to find ONE rich child in a neighbourhood school, than a lot of rich parents in a school that gives alumni priority.Don't forge that each yr, many neighbourhood schs do produce top pupils too.
Edureach:
This kinda sidesteps the issue a bit eh... has little to do whether schools are same good or not. Character is important, surely. But academics are not unimportant.Personally, i am totally not interested in all these top pri schs and did not attempt to send my kids to famous pri schools out of choice due to distance.

Certainly we cannot say all come from affluent background. But if one even bother to observe the morning traffic of those schools along Dunearn or BT, eg, SCGS, RGPS, NYPS, MGS, ACS...u will understand why people like us believe that the distribution is less random for these schools.Edureach:

Good qn! Perhaps some schools have different goals!
And so... why doesn't MGS produce the same kind of results as Nanyang?
Are their results really that bad? :?
anyway, why the sudden smoke screen....surely the above mentioned schools have much better results than a typcial neighbourhood school.
perhaps phtthp (sp?) can give some stats on the quality passes to verify if it's just my imagination...
