Gosh! Must read all the books???? :yikes:

No need lah . Some of them ( but very small percentage ), u can't even get locally . For DS school, they had done reviews for 2 of the books .
Books are of your choice among the list.

Yes, that's what they said. I think they have been overwhelmed by too many calls from parents!

Thanks, so I will just wait for them to acknowledge

Will they call to acknowledge receipt? I thought during the briefing, they said that if they do not receive your form, they will call you (meaning if they receive, they will not call).

My understanding from the briefing was they will only contact those who did not submit the registration form after 2pm today.

Ooh I must be dreaming during the briefing and only heard \"don't call us\", ok so I assume they received it then. Thanks!

Wow, just heard from DS that at least one of the selected GEPpers from his school had turned down the selection! Not what I would have done, but kudos for going against the grain!

May I check, if fax the form to GEB, we were asked not to call them right? They will call us to acknowledge receipt? Thanks

If I did not rem wrongly, they will only call you if they did not receive the form. So dont expect any acknowledgement.

1 girl from my DS Sch has also decided to stay on and not go GEP. She's a very bright girl with excellent manners. Has always been in top 2 for the whole level since P1.

Yes, 1 is from my dd class. Is there another 1 from other class? Out of 6 including my dd, I know 4 are giving it a try. It is a very tough decision for me, I was at school today and teared every time I was reminded she is leaving the school. And yes I salute the boy and parents for giving it up, it takes more courage to give up than give it a try.

I found myself tearing when I sent my kid to school today as well... The thought of that was harder to bear than I had imagined. Thought I was the only parent feeling it! Both choosing to stay and leaving for a GEP school isn't an easy decision really.

Chin up, parents!
