Need wisdom to choose the right school.
If follow his/her heart, they will end up following their friends.

Not follow friends' hearts lah :rotflmao:
As I talk to more parents, realize many kids tend to want to follow where their friends want to go...it's a 4/6 years course,so must choose wisely a school they really like.

At this age of theirs, they are afraid of being left alone especially when they know they are going to a new place. When they reach the new place soon they will make new friends and settle down. Their old friend may join another class and make new friends as well and soon they will be less attached to the old group of friends. DS has friend got rejected while the rest got CO to the same school, poor kid is now upset he will soon be apart from his good friends... :sad:

If you force kid to go to a school not his wish, he may blame you next time.

Aiyo, also in a dilemma now...

3 years ago, I came to know this KSP forum after my ds got into GEP. Still remember I spent a few nights reading the whole GEP thread. These few days, trying to read the RI and HCI threads. What a torture to my eyes!

You are CERTAINLY not alone!

HI Jon101, thanks for sharing.
Hopefully the letters are mailed out before late evening then we can receive by tomorrow afternoon.
And hopefully they do change their mind to send by email too.
Counting down to the last 30 hours otherwise will be 30+24=54 hours of waiting.

Ya, guess so.. but he is keeping me in suspense.... He told me to ask him after PSLE. :roll:

As long as he is happy, I'm ok with both schools.

But being a KS mum, I'll still be reading thru RI & HCI thread to gain more info & ask questions.

Any parents have news on Cedar Girls and MGS - Academic?

Just called up cedar girls. All COs shld have recd telephone calls by last Week. They will send out letters to all applicants-- whether successful or not by this weekend.

I have not received any news from MGS on DSA-IP. According to the office staff I spoke to today, they are sending out the results by post (not email) \"by end of this week\".

My son too is worried P4 because of GEP he has to leave his friends and move school and now again at P6. so now in :? RI or NUSH or ACS I. but we last 2 is good. now we are nt going to talk to him any thing until PSLE finishes
