Or at least publish their quality%passes in their own school website.. 1 or 2 top scorer don't count.

Don't :spank: me

you know why Principals of such schools don't wish to disclose ?
because scared they malu, esp. when highest score is low. Then nobody want to enrol their child in that school. That's why many of them want it hush hush, want to sweep it under the carpet.

To them, if public don't know, if parents don't know ... better still. Many of them are so secretive - esp. when come to Quality percentage passes, subject by subject. They dare not post openly on their school website. They know that parents who are concerned for their kids will come to them as Head of school - hey P, what's wrong with this or that subject ?

come on man! if you're Principal of a school, you should be bold and open. What's there to hide ? If any subject in your school is particulary weak, then as Head of the school, you should go and find out, troubleshoot exactly where gone wrong, what went wrong ? is it the curriculum of that particular subject in your school not strong enought (yet to improve), or those teachers teaching that particular weak subject not motivated to teach pupils well, or any other reason(s) ?

Well, as Principal of a school, he /she should be bothered to go and find out. Not act as quiet as a mouse - dare not publish Quality %tage passes for their school. Some schools even worse - not a single webpage on any academic info is disclosed.

How this is a good post beats me. :?

Schools are bound by rules and guidelines set forth by MOE, and Principals etc are but servants of this establishment. It is hard to put blame on such servants who must act with discretion and restraints, especially when the directive put out was so sudden and a little vague.[/quote]
When all other things fail, blaming is the last ball game ? The world is at fault, obviously. :skeptical:

I agree with phttph. :goodpost:

It's ok not to disclose top scorer etc but there is really nothing to hide about quality passes. Parents should have every right to know the performance of their DC's school. If some schools really could not produce results, then parents know they need to quickly engage additional support from enrichment classes. My point is be TRANSPARENT about the school performance. This also helps parents in making better choices for P1 registration.
However, please split GEP and mainstream in order to compare apple to apple.

Our choice may be important for appeal.

If DHS cop increase this year and you want to appeal, then it may be better you put DHS as your first choice.

We are only concern that Dhs as 2nd choice might show that we are not sincere

No worries. Schools have no feelings; only humans do. In fact, it is the MOE system and not schools that will allocate places based on merit, and you can bet that that system also does not have feelings.

We thought the school individually select us base on our application :oops: didn't know it is done at HQ computer system.

No wonder we saw a post saying that 1 & 2 choice should put those schools that we don't qualify and 3 & 4 choice with our achievable schools.

Is it true?[/quote]R u not considering tjc at al?

with this forum, the principals of some schools who didn't want to announce the top scorers in their school, wonder how they feel. Parents ask they refused to tell. Come on be open minded.

I was thinking the same like you. Ultimately, this will only make the p happy and lazy. The p can now R&R. No more sharp arrow shooting at them for poor results. How to aim and shoot? No one knows the school performance now.
