      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.

      Heard of 1 whose kid refused to change sch also no near-by GE centre at their place.

      Aso, heard of kid in high ability class but parent did not consent her/him to take GE screening. The kid now in top IP school via PSLE.

            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.
