parents with kids enrolled in Ai Tong, alert:-


i) academic rigour at Ai Tong is .... high.
my friend's 2012 P1 daughter has lot of homework everyday, she is now P1 Term 4.

ii) now 2012 P1 Term 4 -
my friend's girl had started writing paragraph essay in school.
pupils need to write in paragraph format.
eg: begin with: \"One Sunny day ....\"
they no longer just write 5 sentences compo type.

the standard in Ai Tong is .... high

Ai Tong is a good school, emphasize on Character values:-

========================================================================
now although MOE recently intro changes easing on academic, but doubt this will change the deeply rooted mindset of parents & school. Even no banding, parents already have some pre-existing impression of which are the good or better schools.
