GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[Nebbermind]

I think I finally got it!

She’s asking for additional resources to be allocated to the mainstreamers!
Am I right?

How come I dont seem to understand some of posts too. :? I think as a parent, it is impt to know tt to be in gep does not mean that yr child's future is 前途无量； not selected does not mean the child 前途无亮 too. It maybe a blessing in disguise. Just my own view.

:hi5:
Forgot who said it - selected is bonus, not selected also ok. Majority of us in mainstream anyway. If not of GEP calibre & maturity, why stress everyone over it.

Actually there are many clamouring for the GEP materials :roll:
I really cannot appreciate 'treasure', saw some but I found it hard/dunno how to use. Perhaps I'm too stupid or my child not smart enough to be able to utilize such 'precious' stuff.

I donch think it's the material but rather the class setup and perhaps the method of teaching.

No point having the material if u donch get the lessons.

Friend of mine disposing her dc GEP materials. Maybe should ask from her and sell them for a profit. Any takers?

I have never asked for policies crafted for the hyper kiasu in mind (me included!) I'm asking for a policy to cater for the majority population especially for those disadvantaged families.

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.

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

My friend showed me & tho her DC is a year younger than my son, I was over what I saw & knew instantly it was a blessing that DS was not in GEP. Dun even bother to borrow the material cos it's not going to be useful without the proper lesson/guidance.

Yes, I'm asking for additional resources to be allocated to the mainstreamers (those who are 'very gifted' but were not selected and also with no helps but themselves and textbook!)


Actually, if they are truly gifted, they can figure out those materials themselves eventually.. I personally have seen \"these\" type of students before...

To most of the people, those are useless materials. For those who are craving for more intellectual and wisdom-related knowledge in the areas of their interests, those materials are treasure to them.
