Can't agree with tuition_czar more on this. DD is in RGS, and the competitive spirit is enough to spur her w/o teachers' 'abmonitions' or us parents imposing our 'ideals'. Guess it's the same in every other top-notch school - IP or otherwise.The kids in top schools have more than enough stress from their competitive peers to \"motivate\" them and keep them on their toes, consistently working hard.
That is why the teachers don't really have to push and threaten them to move forward. -
Two weeks of school holidays have passed by.. Anyone has gone for holiday overseas? We are not going anywhere for holiday this June.. DS has hardly touched his books for the past two weeks, is it normal? I hardly interfere with what DS1 does, as I am focussing more on DS2 this year.. Hope I am doing the right thing, though... :roll:

That is no cause for worry .... it takes about half a year for the boys to settle in -
are the swimming pool and tennis court open for public booking?

Come on.. you don't even know us :roll: ... We RI parents DO NOT lose our minds so easily and scream at our boys.. Our boys have worked so hard, mostly by themselves, and they have made it to RI, so what more do we ask for?firefly38:

What if we told you otherwise? Would you lose your mind and start screaming at the boys?
Learn to relax. Things have a way of working themselves out.
If you have bothered to read our earliers posts, you would have realised that we would always have our little PRIVATE conversation from time to time.. to share our joy & our concerns for our boys, to give moral support to each other & our boys, even to get silly at times and have a good laugh at each other or at ourselves..

Let’s not get too personal here. Open posts are for everyone’s benefit. If there is something PRIVATE, perhaps a better suggestion is to send PMs - that’s what they’re for.

Anyone ds is on Regional Studies Programme (RSP) scholarship? Must take Malay third language right? Wish to know for those who are on EESIS, are they still entitled this scholarship?

Hi sorry can anyone reccommend any good IP tuition centres for English or Science? Other than Learning Lab (Which I have heard of from many others) Thanks for the help
