To Linda Lim:


Hello Linda.

Personally, I am not very pleased that you said Si Ling is a better school than Woodgrove. All schools are good in their own way. Academically, Si Ling did well. I will admit that. But during the 2011 PSLE, Woodgrove did exceptionally well too. For I am a student from the 2011 P6 batch of Woodgrove, I dislike my elementary school to be criticized. I don’t hold any grudge against you so please do not be offended. But anyway, back to the topic, I know that Si Ling’s principal was Mr. Shah and that he was a vice principal of Woodgrove previously. Before he came to Si Ling, Si Ling was a school which offered only 1 end-of-year examination. That’s all. But at that time, Woodgrove already had 4 major examinations, the 2 CAs and SAs. Mr. Shah learnt from Woodgrove that having 4 major examinations would do Si Ling some good. And it did. Si Ling is a good school. But it was actually Woodgrove which indirectly helped Si Ling. And here we are, being known as the more horrible school as compared to Si Ling (not that Si Ling is horrible). And to other parents, I live nearer to Si Ling than Woodgrove. I could have easily gotten into Si Ling but my parents picked Woodgrove instead. Do you know why? It is because they felt that Si Ling had ‘gangsters’ and they feared for my safety. Of course, its not like that now. So, the message is that both schools are equally good and that every single person has his or her own will to pick a school, and not go by what others say is a good or bad school. Also, I would very much appreciate if the polls for good and bad schools are being removed.

Thanks you and please note that I am not criticizing ANY school here. I’m only stating my humble opinions.
