Nanyang Girls' High School [*IP]

NdHelpParent:
Thanks for the feedback.There were one or two parents here who had posted one or two unpleasant incidents in class experienced by either their own dds or friend's dds.
Allow me to express my personal take on this:
1. Those incidents need to be verified or clarified with the school's teacher or P/VP. I think it certainly does not help the situation of the student(s) in posting here in the forum. And by the way, no school, no matter how reputable it is , can be a perfect school to please every child or parent.
2. My dd is at NYGH and she feels NYGH is a very caring & nurturing school, just like how many many of her seniors and juniors schoolmates feel. -
My DD is currently in NYGH sec 2. On the whole the teachers r caring and nurturing. She is in HMP class, with abt half DSA students. There r some with really bad attitude that give teachers a lot of problems. The pace is quite fast, but if the student is discipline n does her part on a regular basis, she shld be able to catch up. The school hv remedial class for weaker students, yet there r some who don’t even bother to go.
Indeed some teachers r biased and favour gd student. My girl was targeted by her LA teacher last yr, but no choice lor. I just tell her to focus on the subject rather than the teacher. This is the true fact in life, she just has to learnt to face it, as in the workplace, some bosses also favor some workers.
Nothing is fair in this world. -
Am curious how you people know how many girls in the class came in thro dsa? I am sure my girl would be clueless if I ask her.

I’m also quite surprised to read that there are some teachers who practise favoritism or non-favoritism so blatantly.
It leads me to think that these teachers must have never been in touch with weak students. Nygh girls’ psle scores are at least 240 and above (?) and they are by no means bad scores. Kids who have such scores are not dim wits. I don’t understand why teachers would be impatient with such children and worse, target such children and make their life difficult at a time when they need esteem-building the most.
Sometimes I think that teachers in top schools ought to have some practical school experience in neighbourhood schools for at least two weeks to know how fortunate they are to be teaching in a good school.
If it doesn’t happen every week or too frequent, how can late submission of homework be considered ‘attitude problem’? Do they know that there are students who don’t care or hand in homework at all no matter how you chase them? Then how would you brand these children? -

The teachers were caring enough to stay back for the weaker students to give extra help but why they didn't bother to turn up? If these weaker students' parents are aware , then it is hoped that they appreciate the teachers' efforts and encourage their children to attend. Most times, students must work with their teachers too.My DD is currently in NYGH sec 2. On the whole the teachers r caring and nurturing. She is in HMP class, with abt half DSA students.

Realistically, IP schools are fast- paced because majority of students are eager and have lots of initiatives to discover knowledge and ask questions for deeper learning. Those with attitude problems will certainly lose out in time to come and they can't really blame the school. Remember that they have a choice in which sec they wanted to enter! -

Yes but unfortunately some are regretting their choice now.
Btw, the hw given was meant for the Cny holiday or were they meant to be completed on Friday which was a home learning day? -
Is this teaching style , gearing up in workload, new and has just changed for this batch? or it has always been this way?

Something wrong with the whole education system in SIN, even the neighborhood school are over loaded with hw, sigh!

Hi KPKB, this is a thread for sharing about NYGH.
Appreciate that you keep posts related to the topic of this thread.
For your opinion on the WHOLE education system in SIN, you could post it at the thread \"How is your Sec 1 child coping in his new school?\".
Thank you. -
Very sorry I posted in the wrong thread, I find that I have been complaining a lot too. I should not post any comment here and only log in to KSP as reader.
