            Wow, its true to be very careful to write something here, if not others will be real :mad: !

            No offense, be happy...... 🆒

            Look at it this way.. you don't write or post for one person rite..... 😉

            surely there are many like me who don't read between the lines.... 😉

            I will not because of all these stop posting my opinions here. If I feel that there's a need for me to voice up something, I'll do it. 😉

            I neither here for quarreling nor forcing anyone to accept what I've written. Also, I don't like to beat around the bush and 拍马屁 anyone here. I think others will still try to find something wrong with what I've wrote. But, this won't stop me from writing in KSparents unless I'm real busy with my family.

            Cheers. :hi5:

                nice.. if pple shy away bcoz of fear of being insulted or embarrassed, the forum will slowly bias towards a view where all opinions are \"politically correct\"..... which is something I hate to see..

                I recalled someone mentioned along the line of.. 3 years ago, the forum is peaceful and nice.. until recently it wasn't peaceful anymore.. like hinting some undesirable elements are not welcomed here.. causing negativity and disturbing the peace.

                If everyone with \"unconventional views\" were to leave or refrain from participating..

                Maybe \"peace\" will restore as desired by some?

                A peace that is detached from the ground..

                  I need to top up my supply of EYS American ginseng to cool down...PH hasn't produced top PSLE student yet...but I know that genius will be from top classes.

                  In the meantime, this mummy here needs to brush up her English...and contribute MORE to the tuition industry 😉
                  PH's trump card oredi left for GEP ... think it's gonna be bery hard to achieve that now.

                  My colleague said don't need son to go HCI, can qualify BPGH and he'll treat us liao. 😉

                    yes quite a number of used-to-be regular ksp members have quit or don't bother anymore due to excessive amount of negativity and toxic postings, baseless accusations / bashing of teachers / schools / MOE

                    nothing wrong to be unconventional in viewpoints. but something is wrong with people (no one needs to self-acknowledge here) who likes to post negative things without processing in their head first whether it is true or half truth or outright nonsense which can't withstand being challenged

                    sooner than later people will be tired of it

                    out of the hundreds of thousands of parents with school going kids, the active members here are just a minority, be it (1) genuine negative experience with kids' education, (2) genuine positive experience with kids' education, or (3) members who just intend to cast aspersions with no other motives.

                      trump cards may still be around, not all who gone to GEP will score high high in t-score, and some who stay behind refusing GEP or just mainstream may still trump the GEPpers who have left for GEP schools. We are supposedly a tuition nation and it will produce results after spending thousand and thousand of dollars in it

                        Read that American ginseng is not heaty.
                        Giving him chrysanthemum and barley. His tuition costs $1800. Sponsors for birds nest are welcomed though :evil:
