I don't know whether I will get scolding but after looking at the number of days my baby needs to stay back, really feel like opting out of GEP.

cluelessmama, All we want is kids not be stressed and at the same time get the best . Parents are the best to know their kids potential and how much stress they can take . Main concern of the GEP is not the pgm itself but the add ons like extra tuitions like what mathsparks says + long journey and more CCA's (Long Hours even mainstream have ).

FYI . What I heard from another parent is if you decide not to o for GEP then the deadline is Dec 4th to inform MOE and school (but not sure where did they get this date) and after that the vacancy in current school will be given to waiting list parents .

The story is exactly the same. Only difference is in the pagination. So if your child is using a book by a different publisher, and the teacher says, turn to page 9, his version of the book may have the text on page 11. That makes it difficult for him to follow the discussion.
