Hmm I thought all schools have this Learning Support Prog to help weak students? Dun think any sch will kick a student for some unreasonable reason.
Agree. But for those with actual learning disability, esp the milder ones, depending on resources, different schs may have diffferent ability to support such students. For relatively common problems like dyslexias, sch teachers may not even recognise them. -

70-80 is pretty good, no? I don't think teachers will call up the parents daily if a child is scoring those kind of marks. If the child was failing then there may be cause for concern. Of if the child had behavioral issues.The school will never ask the students to leave but it's the pressure the parents receive from the school; the parents can take them no longer and thus transfer their kids out.
Daughter of my good friend was in a very popular girl school but was transferred out coz my friend and her hubby couldn't stand receiving calls from school almost daily. Her daughter is just an average student scoring 70-80 for most of the subjects. -

You posted this under Novena Primary Schools thread. There is only 1 girls' school here. Hope you are not alluding to SCGS, her focus is on holistic education and is one of the least competitive girls' school.
Hmm, chill off. No hard feelings.verykiasu2010:
almost daily calls for scoring 70 -80 ? seriously you are joking or your good friend is not telling the complete truth or just a cover for something else ?
I don't believe what you post. please name the school. SCGS ? RGPS ? MGS ? St Nick ?
You can choose not to believe it and this is just a hearsay from my friend which may not be true. And maybe my friend feels very paiseh when the teacher is so concerned about her daughter wanting my friend to do something about the grades.
And I believe every school is different and so are the teachers when approaching weaker students.
What I often hear however is, the school will try to take back their primary school girls who did not make the cut in PSLE by 1 or 2 point when a vacancy arises. -
No worries. It’s not SCGS.
It’s RGPS. Like i’ve mentioned it’s just a hearsay or maybe my friend doesn’t really relate the full details to me. I believe every teacher’s approach to each individual child is different too. -
My cousin study in RGPS and her grades are below average and her PSLE get less than 180 but she was not out of the school. Btw her classmate also the same... Maybe its the parents who cant take the stress ba :roll:

A good friend of mine, a doctor who works in the A & E Dept, does not tell her patients the percentages of successful or unsuccessful cases for the different types of presentations she encounters in the course of her work; although she knows the studies that have been published with the relevant statistics. She has always argued that what’s the use of knowing the statistics if the patient happens to fall info the unfortunate minority group?
Similarly, what is the use of knowing the percentages of quality passes if your child falls into the unfortunate group that does not achieve quality passes? Perhaps for that year, a greater fraction of the students were going for expensive tuition & enrichments, which then translated to a higher percentage of quality passes. Or maybe a really strict teacher, who is then transferred out before your child gets to P6 … or …
My point being, please do not look at academic achievements alone. Consider if the school culture is one that your child will enjoy and thrive in. -

Good Post, Laura ! agree with you - parents do not just look at academic grades alone. Some schools thrive on Holistic education. Parents still look at the overall picture.
but then, back to reality.
Your daughter is in SCGS, so in a way you are blessed.
SCGS primary school girls are blessed to enter SCGS Sec O level track - at an affliated COP, 220 (as of today).
But hor, don't forget outsiders keen to enter SCGS Sec - even for the same O level track need to meet minimal 25x. How much difference ? 30 over points, between SCGS affliated pupils and outsiders. Now, that's a lot, a lot ! One point is already so hard to achieve, let alone talk about ... 30 over points.
so again, back to reality where great competition thrive.... we parents whose children are not so blessed to have a ready, affliated Sec school as a safety net to catch the kids. So, harsh reality circumstances forcing us back to look at .... academic grades. Like it or not, an outsider child must acquire basic minimal 25x, before can consider joining Sec. An outsider child must work very hard, before can score minimal 25x. The facts are before us. If IP, then every child on common ground, equal footing. Because :- no discount given to even affliated SCGS pupils.
