        actually, NYGH is no less angmo than RGS, and no more cheena than RGS;


        and RGS is no less cheena than NYGH, nor more angmo than NYGH

        don’t judge just by their names

            Can't agree more.

            Noticed that nowadays, most students like to speak with an ang mo accent,
            be it IP or non-IP schools.

                How to solve this problem i really don't know. Shld we leave the decision to a 12 year old?[/quote]I would let the child decide. Both schools are very good but with rather different cultures, traditions and ambience. The child would probably feel more comfortable in one environment compared to the other. She's the one who'll have to go to school everyday for the next 6 years. If you feel strongly that your child should go to one school over the other, then raise the pros and cons of both and persuade the child to your choice. But do not force. I've seen kids whose parents forced them into schools against their wishes and it was not a happy child.

                  My dd's interest in the subjects & results very much reflect how much she likes her teachers. 😄

                    Agree! After attending open houses, my DD, at first was very keen to school A, has already said that she wants to go school B. In the end of days, she is the one who are going to be there for four years.

                      Agree that the child should decide. Like jtoh said, I will raise the pros and cons with her.


                      But my dd keeps saying she is neutral and let me decide leh.... aiyah, dunno why so super \"chin-chai\". 🤷

                      I am so scared if I really decide for her, then anything happen later she will blame me :stompfeet:

                        You should come to a decision together. Let her know that you will support her decision whichever one it is. Provided of course you don't mind either school? Maybe she thinks you prefer one school over another and doesn't want to go against your wishes?
