2009 GEP Screening And Selection

[rains]

Herbie:

Hi rains,


You mentioned that the GEP boy went back to the mainstream after one year. Did he go back to his former non-GEP school or the mainstream GEP school?

Kindly advise.

Hi Herbie,

The boy went back to his old school.

Hi Herbie,


Which school have you decided to put your dd into? Any idea how many from SCGS got thru to GEP?

[Herbie]

Hi Turquoise


We have not decided yet.
GEP school closes to our home is NYPS follow by RGPS.

My DD is keen to take up GEP but we are not sure whether she will be "overstretched’.

We will attend the briefing on wed before we decide on wayforward.



Cheers!

why her daddy against it???

Daddy gives us a long lecture on why academic excellence is not everything and does not guarantee success in life. Also, he has heard too much \"horror stories\" from friend whose child is in GEP. :idea:

She could go for the GEP tests coz I did the \"sneaky\" thing of signing the form and asking her to submit without showing the daddy.

sad to know that your husband happens to know only the negative side of 'gep'.... if he would have know friend whose kid do lbenefit from and like the program then he would not so against it.....

Hi again


For those who are attending the GEP briefing this Wed, are you all arriving there early to view the GEP booths?

Any one of you whose child did not take Higher Chinese, but intend to enrol him /her in a GEP SAP school?

I am worried about mine. His current school is non-SAP, and his Chinese is quite terok, but I am eyeing on GEP SAP school, so abit worried his chances of getting in would be low. Also even if he gets in, dunno whether he can cope???

Any parents with similar experience to share? thks!!
