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:
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:
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.. -

Oh ya.. Nearly half a year has passed by.. No wonder DS has already 'settled in' SO comfortaby, and is SO relaxed nowadays.. :imcool:firefly38:

That is no cause for worry .... it takes about half a year for the boys to settle in -
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.
As they say, “一方水土养一方人。” -
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

Wonder in RI, is participating in SMO made optional for all students? How many students are given SMO training there?

Looking at the namelist of SMO 2012 junior special round invitees, most of them came from classes I-Q.
Kiasucy:
My understanding is that in RI, SMO is optional - just pay to take part.Wonder in RI, is participating in SMO made optional for all students? How many students are given SMO training there?
-
they belong to maths society club.
-
Looks to me that RI’s results have already been very good and results in many areas (A level results, sports, SMO etc…) are still improving “in the expense” of most other top schools.

No doubt, this only goes to show RI is the no. 1 choice for boys going into the IP schools.
WeiHan, why need to make such comments in this thread? Most important is actually the student’s attitude and perspective, they should be positive regardless of where they get their education (regardless from RI or RV), their mindset should be - To be the best that you can be! -

ps. if i might just add, the SMO is not strictly compulsory for anyone.
From what i can see among ds' schoolmates in RI, it's first and foremost a FUN competition for students who enjoy maths.
In fact, after the competitions, they can stay back for an hour or more, just discussing the various methods they used for different problems, and arguing as to which method is more elegant. -

yep and i think esp from classes M, P, Q which i believe are where most of the Euler's program students are from.. ?Looking at the namelist of SMO 2012 junior special round invitees, most of them came from classes I-Q.

SMO training is given to students in the Euler's Program and also to students in Maths Club. Not sure of the exact number, but i guess around 40 or so from each year?
and quite a few of them are \"sponsored\" for SMO by the school, ie. no need to pay the fees for taking the competition. -

how did you get this from the school?
btw, in the link i posted, the names are arranged in order of :
1. School
2. Score
3. Alphabetical order if 2 or more have the same score.
ie, so Sheldon Kieren Tan is top scorer from RI in Junior 1st round ~
(but of course, actually most of the scores are very close.. and i hear it can get even closer in Round 2.. -
