      So now the HOT question is \"Stress?\" \"Who is stressed about the scores? You mean the minister?\" or someone else? Perhaps the stressed one are those who think that you might not :grphug: them upon seeing the hoard of top scorer's background and upbringing that brought about their advantage and ability to be top scorers and ask if their numbers would increase further as our population increase further? Of course there are always success stories of people rising above their humble backgrounds but these are still minorities. A good education still provides a higher probability of securing a better future and moving up the social ladder. Which parents want their kids to be deprived of a good education and ending up eating grass or hypno-shrooms when they grow up? :scared:


      Actually, I have no idea what you are saying. :scratchhead: Are you saying publish names of top scorers lead to stress or no stress? Soli, soli har. My reading compre a bit limited one.

      Yes definitely stressful for many different parties as I believe there are wide implications on various national policies. ๐Ÿฆ†

        Aiyoh. You're a goodie type pirate issit? Not those ugly yellow toothed steal from people kind? I also believe in upbringing does matter. Too much of anything (including ksp-ing hor!) is bad, so moderation is key. The biggest key actually because life can be good if we are less anal abt the nitty gritties. blah, blah, blah......

          This is not call eng... it's call local talent but missed opportunities when they were young. Clearly her linguistic ability is far better than a lot of direct entries into IP programs. :salute:

            What I want to state is MOE made the right move to stop naming top pupils, especially for secondary schools.

            In my view, most of them are Chinese scholars whom the principals handpicked from China. :rahrah: If you checked the top schools who have taken in these pupils, these scholars enjoy much privileges and publicity in schools because they are the cream of the crops to bring in fame and honour.
            Hopefully they don't leave like the badminton aces after being nurtured by our 'big-small eyes' teachers. :spank:
            Now we have the issue of population expansion and thus foreign talents expansion. No doubt many of these foreign pupils are going to be the future bosses of our local kids. :nailbite:
            MOE has better 'hide' them to reduce the sentiments among us parents. :censored:
            Agree or not agree?

              Then how do you explain they stop publishing general performance of each school? That is what most people would like to know.

                If you are saying that we should hide the fact that the Chinese scholars are better than the best of our home-grown scholars, then I think that really would be placing blinders on ourselves to hide us from bad news rather than to acknowledge reality and think of solutions to counter the situation.

                    Zheng, you are foreigner right ? You so sure all these young scholars will become bosses of Singaporeans in the future ? Nothing is guaranteed. Don't be so stuck up first. May be everyone of them turn out to be Sun Xu.

                      Actually, many of these handpicked PRC scholars did not do as well as the best of best local talents. This is evident in the A level results in the past few years. most of the candidates with 8-9 distinctions in top schools are locals or second generation of immigrants.

                        I donโ€™t think we should be afraid of the top scholars from China or elsewhere who get into the local schools. As a forumer has pointed out, eventually it is the individual student who through natural ability, talent, intelligence and hard work who will get the rewards notwithstanding the purported earlier years advantage of being a China scholar. The A levels is a long journey allowing enough time for Singaporean children to catch up.
