Qifa Primary

[moonee]

I agree with insider that its the China girls own effort irregardless of what school she came from. Cant really stop the singapore mentality ... \"Top score equates to good school.\" Children from China know what they r here for and are very focused and hardworking, has very strong determination too... Wish our Singapore children could be like that......Err.... wonder how she study, perhaps she does a lot of research herself... Congrats Qifa :celebrate:

Our kids, in general, have a long way to go when it comes to self-motivation, determination & maturity compared to these China students..like u said, these China students know what they are here for & are hence v focused.... i believe our kids are too sheltered & pampered...partly our fault as parents (altho i do consciously avoid spoiling them nor splurging on them ... i admit i'm guilty of it sometimes...) Sigh ......

PS: i hv seen cases where a relative & another fren promising their kids certain \"gadgets\" if they meet certain mark... however, when the kid fail to deliver, they still get the gadget anyway !! ... in the first place, dangling of such carrots is already not the ideal approach but yet the carrot is given to them given tho they hv failed to deliver .. But what can i say? Not my children anyway...can only let the parents decide. C'est La Vie!

Wow Qifa Primary had become the shiny star in PSLE 2009.


Maybe next week many PV Applications would come in. Next year P1 Registration very high chance of balloting?

insider:

If next year Qifa really faces extreme interest in their P1 registration, then it really speaks volume about the immaturity of many parents.


This China girl who got 290 in her PSLE (think she came to Singapore when she was about 10 years old, hardly knowing any English). Don't think her good results have really much to do with the school. This diligent and intelligent girl, basically put her anywhere she also can shine...

Herd instinct. Tsk tsk tsk...

exactly, insider. She's the result of china's system and her parents' excellent genes..nature/nuture debate; not our education system. So why is everybody so excited about the school? :? It's got nothing much to do with which school or what principal she has... More importantly, the teachers and parents she has...herd mentality indeed.

unless of course, Qifa has a few other outstanding ones who were there since P1...then we can safely say, it's a great school, with wonderful teachers and principal, plus supportive parents.

PS: I'm not sour grapes, anti-qifa or anti-prc, pls don't stone me either. My allegiance is to the nation and the family. :salute:

After reading this morning’s papers, I read that Qiu Biqing started here from P3. So she’s a combination of China’s/SG’s/Qifa/her parents’ nuture. Well done, girl/Qifa!

I watched the news yesterday where they interviewed the girl ...and i can't help but ponder over what she said. (Not words for words but she said something to this effect) She is happy & surprised that she is \"Xin Jia Po Di Yi\" (Singapore's No.1) rather than the usual \"Wo Guo Di Yi\" (1st in our country).... Can't help but wonder if, to her, Singapore is just Singapore ; and not really her \"country\" (even tho i heard she is now a Citizen) or maybe i got my facts wrong (ie she is not citizen).

I'm just saying my thoughts & observations aloud. Not anti-anything. Just feel sad if she is indeed a Citizen and still don't \"feel belong\" here ...Don't throw stones at me too! I'm all for the nation too - so much for patriotism

Hi Maisy,

Felt e same here too. Can't help but wish she will feel like a \"true citizen\" in the near future.
