[quote=\"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?

Thanks, would rather he rest at home. Health is more important.[/quote]It's advisable to check with your ds too. Does he wants to go? 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.

Nebbermind:

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
