Why screen kids in P1?

Still... why would HSK say class size not important but GEP has small class size?

I think in order to get the class down from 40 ~30, there need to be another 50 pri schools if I'm not wrong.
Donch get me wrong, I all for smaller class size...but I think they haven't yet figure out how to increase the schools by another 30%

Build schools with more levels? Can build up or build downwards.

As much as I LOVE single session, smaller classes might be achieved with 2 sessions for each level. This way physical size of the building can remain.

ah chey..verdict out ah....


i just got a chance to read this thread today...and as i was reading...a conspiracy light lit up...

Maybe at P1 first checkpoint on IQ, then at P3, second checkpoint... after second checkpoint, can determine if our lower primary Education can improve IQ or not.. If can, how much, and effectiveness...bla bla bla..

:siam:

What if P3 GEP requires P1 data when it comes to selection?
MOE probably need to match to see if that child is really gifted.

I rather the kids innocently take the IQ test without parents knowledge.

I understand this too. I know that it isn't easy. So then, say it. Dun say it's not important and have the shining beacon of GEP small classes belie your words. Like this, how to trust?

Aiya...his tenure at MOE may just be 3~4 yrs...maybe he donch wanna sabo the next guy mah!! :rotflmao:

The moment parents know that there is IQ testing in P1, and no reason is given, there will be a queue from here to Batam for prenatal brain stimulation. Kids will tell parents things. You can't keep a thing like that secret for long. It's better to explain why this is done. OR stop testing.

And now that they have decided NOT test at P1 at all, they can't use it for P3 GEP anyway. So why worry? If you do still want a P1 IQ test, you can pay any psychologist to do it for you. No use scaring yourself with what ifs.

:rotflmao: I love your theories, bro. :rotflmao:
Whether or not it's a conspiracy-theory.

Btw, hubs caught me on the phone and must've thought I was staring too long at it (or mebbe thought I was surfing prawn in the early afternoon) :siao:... Then he asked, \"That guy put up his own pic issit?\" I enlarged the picture and shoved the image at him. \"No lah. It's Aaron Kwok.\"

I was only starting to read this thread & was trying to slowly absorb the long posts.. because of that he thought I was staring at you. Hmmmph.. :roll: But I've only myself to blame since I read real slow.
