GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[Vevey]

DS is having slight fever & headache this a.m. Thinking of not letting him go for test if he is still unwell tomorrow. Other than informing MOE, does it require a MC?

Already been to the doc & had the antibiotics on standby since last wk when his sensitive nose worsened.

I don't see why you need an MC. You're just giving the the test a miss right? And thus giving GEP a miss?

Just curious why rulers are not allowed to bring into the test centre.

I was wondering that too!

Me too.

No rulers / model rulers too?? No model questions will be tested??

Thanks, would rather he rest at home. Health is more important.

He might have misgiving if he misses the chance but actually wanted it. I almost stop/ discourage my DD back then and now she kept saying it was the right decision to participate in GEP.

Personally, even though I knew my boy is no genius, he has always been different.

So if you did not prep yr kids n they are selected, ask yourself if your kids ever surprise you...be it elephant memory, or ability to grasp chim words n reuse them, learn Math concept exceptionally fast (need not be all topics), grasp higher level of science concepts when explained....etc...usually donch need tuition for math n science unless parents über kiasu.
My belief is that they can be selected by accident twice if they r not prep....n there will be signs.
There will always be a price to pay...but this is a present, gift wrapped n home delivered. Like I said before, some kids will have self doubts along the way n that's why I emphasised parental involvement is über important coz they need us emotionally. Also, don't let people con u by saying u shouldn't help your kid...there are many ways to help...guide them without spoon feeding. No \"do this, then this n this\" but use a lot of \"why, how, then what\"....turn it into a thinking process. That's how we impart some of our 'professional' know-how to them in the process.
Enough said for now
