Yes agree. I think those forummers condemning foreigner scholars posting nice photos of themselves and scolding your parents are a bit overboard too. I dare not refer to anyone specific though. :roll:
This is also not peculiar to foreigner scholars in SG, vise versa.
SG scholars at overseas top uni do make news too. -

It's precisely this attitude that disturbs me most. This happens not only in law, but also in medicine and other \"good\" faculties. And, of course, among the scholars. It's not so prevalent in the current generation of thirty something and older working adults, but is increasingly apparent in the younger twenty-something adults. This attitude of us vs them attitude. And I am very, very concerned of the future of Singapore.
It's quite different from the past, where there were several good schools, and students from the not so good schools. And generally, it was the latter who, in their working careers, were more hungry for success, more willing to take risk and work harder to succeed.
In essence, that \"good post\" you gave is against you, are you aware? -

Discrimination, not limited to the Über, for someone gravely discriminating the GEPPERs, I wonder what's their dictionary says about \"discrimination\" . -

[quote=\"him4mixer\"]In conclusion:
The gap between IP and non-IP JCs is widening. Gone were the days where we could hear students from the lower end JCs making it into the medicine or law. One common joke among my ex-students in the law faculty told me: There are only 2 JCs in the Law faculty; RI(JC) and OJC (other JCs). Even within IP schools, the gap is widening too between the govt and independent IP JCs.
It's quite different from the past, where there were several good schools, and students from the not so good schools. And generally, it was the latter who, in their working careers, were more hungry for success, more willing to take risk and work harder to succeed.
Class division... (what is the root cause?)[/quote]
Let me answer it, it used to be the Über groups that steered; but the new age class division is the non-Über that's engineering it, much to their awareness.
Read 500 posts from some parents here you probably would feel what I feel. -

Just sad that those \"round' kids wake up late and only found that all the odds are against them!
Could you share why you think we may not have a choice but to raise the A level standard if we compare with other Asian countries?
Those scholars went oversea, did they find bored?
A good habit to practice, read a full copy of the local or foreign main stream newspaper daily, everything doubtful will fall into places very quickly.
Isn't necessary to raise the standard up to master level.
I'm trying to reconciling cause and effect...[/quote]
Less mortal?
Experience talks or hearsay? Harvard, Yale or Stanford? Johns Hopkins?
If so why crack heads on squeezing into the local IPs ? Those \"less mortal\" courses are available from elementary school too.
This forum is getting more and more popular by the day, every info post here is gonna have a real swift verification, somewhere in the readers' minds. -
CayennePepper:
How many total IP places will we now have, with the various new IP schools next year?
Just saw some numbers about this.
Based on current available data, the total number of IP places is approximately 3,800. -

:goodpost: Why there is such division and attitude? What was the system then versus now that drive this division and attitude.
I am going to be on hibernation mode for some soul searching.
We shall celebrate that.... -
So…does the IB requires similar HOT skills to do very well?
I doubt so…since the IB papers are set by caucasians who are less sadistics. -

I don't hear discrimination coming from Geppers or their parents.
It's the other way round, rather. -

Exactly.... those whom discriminate, are the ones that are crying out loud that they are being discriminated ? :imconstipated:
