I have a Simple LOT question. Just trying to understand.

If I am from the mainstream and have obtained a CO from a top IP school via the academc domain (smops/olympiads etc), is that considered an unfair advantage?

Yes.....

If all one is interested in is whether one's child gets ahead in choosing a secondary school.

No.....

If what one is interested in is life outcomes.

Trust you to come up with a yes and no answer... :skeptical:

Nebbermind:

Since you guys are at it....how about a compensating multipler factor for kids who are born in the later part of the year.


Eg, kids born in Dec shall have a multipler of 1.1 x the T-score. That will compensate for the disparity between the Dec kids and the Jan kids. The rest of the month shall be reduced proportionally. Yeah?

Surely this is a fair proposal for the disadvantaged younger kids taking the PSLE.

You know har, when my kid was born in Jan, I thot he'd have advantage over his peers. Then I realized it was the case only for the first 5 years... :razz:

Also hor, since we are on this, I feel girls have advantage over boys in lower primary - then how?

Aiyoyo! I hate HOT questions disguised as a LOT question. Sure trip up all the square people like me... :imdrowning:


Ooops. Pirates dun know difference between plural and singular...

My LOT question is a lot simpler.

Talking about Fairness, you are field doctor and in a war situation. Both you and enemy suffered casualties. You side suffered heavy casualties and your captured enemy POWs as well. All sent to you for treatment.

All the soldiers suffer varying degrees of injuries; some shot in the hip, shoulder, leg and some on chest and face. Some can be saved and some are definitely going to die.

You are obliged to save the POWs as well.

There are signicantly more healthier POWs than your soldiers and there are limited blood and medical supplies and not enough even for everyone that can be saved and continue living.

My LOT question is in which order are you going to save? Between those not likely to live and those that are going to live, the choice is easier to make. But would you save the POW so that they can wipe you out when they recover or do you save your own kids ..oops your own kind so that your kind has a future? How arh? :scared:

Back to work.

Ah. You must be quite rested from your vacation.
Compensating multipler factor!!!!!
This will, in one fell swoop, take care of certain, errr, overaged groups.

I like that :rahrah:
Purely based on birthdate? If EDD in Jan a year later but born earlier in Dec. due to various reasons, even higher multiplier??? Sounds good & fair to me :evil: :rotflmao:

But my feeling is different from yours, I feel girls have advantage over boys throughout primary, at least up to PSLE - how?

Sounds good & fair to me :evil: :rotflmao:[/quote]Wait, is the multipler going to have many decimal places like the T-score, so that it can differentiate those born in different days of the month, different hours of the day?

Then we add on a Maturity Compensating Factor. All Girls gets a 0.9 regardless of any other conditions!! :evil:
