        No, this is not what I said. I said that MOE provided 'helps/benefits' to GEP program but did not extend these 'helps/benefits' to mainstreams and I think these are good to mainstreamers. It has nothing to do whether I think the current GEP program is a good route or not! I'm supper 'kiasu' and wanted to have a much better alternative route (based on my standard) for my dc and yet get to enjoy childhood.

        So what you're saying is: \"Not sure GEP is good ornot, but still beats mainstream programme hands down lah.\" My interpretation correct ornot?

        My ds confirm mainstreamer ... Now you made me worried he won't get good education. :sad:

            Melodies:
            All teaching materials are in the textbooks and good teachers around. We just need to study the textbook, no internet, no exta materials and schools tested what you had learnt in the exams. There are less well-off families who are able to send their kids for tuition or enrichment. Most of the students are on the same level playing field.

            How true! Especially the part about schools testing what we learnt!
            But my point was more related to the 'undiscovered' potentials, both then and now. For the mainstream, unfortunately can't compare wor.

              An illusion of melodies will be discordant melodies in the ‘eye’ of An illusion

                Oh I see what you mean now. Me England bad. You not convinced whether GEP route is good ornot, but think that having smaller classes [like those in GEP] for mainstreamers is definitely good lah.

                Took me a while to get what you meant. See, that's why my ds is in mainstream.

                But wait a min, if you not sure whether GEP is good ornot, why you want mainstream to copy any part of GEP? Alamak, I confused again!

                    You are confused because you assumed GEP program are just these three areas. GEP system is more than these three areas that I touched on.

                        Ah, I see. Pardon if I don't care for policies crafted for the hyper kiasu in mind.
