Is GEP really necessary?
-
phtthp:
are there parents here whose child was offered GEP, but reject and stick back to mainstream ? why are some reasons for decline offer ?
I know of 1 who gave up due to logistic (or that was the reason given) and also the kid already in a good non-gep school. -

Yes there are.[/quote]RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!Nebbermind:
[quote=\"2ppaamm\"]Hm... I think MOE is having a hard time dealing with parents. Always trying to outwit them...
So, are there any prep course for DSA?

Oh no, like that KS parents may send kiddos to prep courses when they are in P2, P1 or earlierWe will then see commerical sch cater for GEP selection interview training. :rotflmao: Parents start to gather what they ask during the interview and get their kids prepared. :rotflmao:
I would suggest a simple change to the procedure, that is dun announce the date of screening and selection test, make it a surprise test for all P3 so that there is no way parents or tuition center can schedule for preparation.

Of course lah! GEP only 450~500 students!!! -

Of course there is! Majority of students in IP schools are mainstream students. Just focus on PSLE, do well and you can get into your dream school.

[/quote]Oorrrhhhh.... Now that it's out in the open parents are going to be sending their kids for DSA prep classes. Then all these students will give the exactly the same answer during DSA interviews. :rotflmao:
