Hmmmmmm......my thoughts how is he and the educators going to do that? Perhaps setting distance criteria to alumni. This force alumni parents unable to register to the school of choice and hence apply to the nearest \"less popular neighbourhood school\". Because these groups of parent tend to be more committed to ensuring the child to excel, these \"less popular neighbourhood school\" will naturally improve in their overall academic performance over time.

you might have just provided a brilliant solution to him....... :evil:

In order to be inline with this thread \"All schools are GOOD school\" and therefore not interested to talk about distance or alumni. Hence I would like to share on my previous PTM because i am frustrated to keep hearing all schools are \"good\". Then later on come up with excuses saying \"apart from academics\".


So now here it goes.

Teacher : Mrs xxxx, your gal has been doing fine this SA1. Her Maths and Science have improved tremendously. Her maths is top in class and science is #3.
Me : Wow! I am so glad to hear that.
Teacher : May i know which tuition center she goes to? Appreciate if you can share that to me, so that we can encourage other children who are weak to have extended supports fast.
Me : My gal don't have any tuition class
Teacher : (looking stun but disbelieve) Then where did she learned those techniques?
Me : (looking diplomatic) I thought it was from you?

In actual fact, i was the one who teach my gal. Noti teacher :nunchuk: shame on you. :spank:

Interesting comment from a parent, "It is ok to have set high standards for our children - but please also ensure you have the means to help them achieve that standard."

atutor2001:

Students who are not rich will be driven to improve in branded schools because of peer pressure.

Not just peer pressure....perhaps motivation.
Somewhere in our school life we probably have been banded with a good class and not so good class...you will notice the difference in attitude...

I would like to see a breakdown of schools the our top civil servants attended…


If ALL SCHOOLS are well represented, I will be convinced that ALL SCHOOLS are good schools. If most of the senior government come from a few BRANDED SCHOOLS, then I guess our current perception is accurate.
