GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[amk]

Mercury:

Merely to check. Anyone know result is out from Nan Chiau Primary School? Teacher has not given out letters ( yellow envelope or white envelope) to the whole Class. The school is closed on yesterday. I assume no news mean the kid is not selected. Thanks! :scratchhead:

Read at NC Thread http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=4486&start=2200. There are 2. :slapshead:

but those who went for selection but didn't get in should receive a small envelop mah...there should be a closure, ya?

Thank you for your participation? ... Like those from lucky draw tickets? :rotflmao:

Certificate of participation, like what my DS got

He very cool about it, a couple of students in his class apparently cried when they failed to make the cut.

But I think some of the kids certainly feel the pressure. A few of them in the class had GEP prep I believe.

Well, all 2nd hand info from DS. A couple of kids got in, a couple of kids cried, and a few had divulged they had GEP prep. I don't know the correlation or lack thereof between these 3 groups.

From experience, my eldest who did not get in 2 years ago, received the 'thank you for participation' slip many days later after her classmates who were selected got the yellow envelopes. She said a couple of friends cried so she told them 'No need to cry. We are gifted in other areas, just that these areas are not tested' Haha!


This year, my #2 got selected and got the yellow envelope last Fri. But her friends too have not received the 'thank you for participation' slips. Guess every school works differently. Some try to manage the kids' ego and will quietly call the parents to come take the envelopes. In our sch, those who got selected for Round 2 were told to keep it a secret so the rest won't feel sad.

IMO, the yellow envelopes should not be given out right in front of whole class, kids have egos too. And of course those who prep for GEP, after spending so much time n money, will breakdown. The news should be made known to them in a better way.

But GEP is just a bonus, life goes on and I agree with my eldest, everyone is gifted in a different way, that's why life is beautiful
