      Well … I supposed students who are qualified for gep, are believed to be very gifted, moderately gifted or higher academic ability then those not qualified. But there are some geppers who cannot cope with one or more of gep subjects. For these kids, the teachers most likely will arrange them to attend remedial lessons. Of course, as parents, if we found that our kids have poor results for certain subjects , most of us would be start looking for tuition for our kids instead of just rely on remedial lesson …

        If GEP students cannot cope even with tuition, do they get transferred to the normal classes? Quite embarrassing for the students, if this happens.

            Incidentally, just to provide further ammunition for anyone who wants to throws brickbats at me, I see little correlation in GEP students between general intelligence and emotional maturity.

            That's my experience. It may be unrepresentative, but there you go.
            I agree, no correlation. :celebrate:

                Yes they do and they usually change school instead of going to the mainstream of the same school. I think it is fair to give an exit point because in life there are always hits and misses so don't be too harsh on them.

                  Nothing to be embarass. If need to transfer to mainstream just do it for the kid's sake. Time heals....

                    Agree but I believe why they need to transfer out to another school's mainstream is because it heals faster and without scars.

                      .. They can tell her use the equation, that equation. My DD told me she don't know what equation???

                      Her classmate learnt it from her tuition.
                      Then, what did the class teacher do??

                      Or is it my DD never concentrate in her class?
                      My ds does not have tuition in Maths and from what I observed he is using the method taught by his school teacher without any equation. Its a lot of models, tabulation, arrows ..etc and it could solve the problem sum. He has never been taught using equation and therefore I can't teach him maths as I only learn algebra last time. Yes, equation method can also solve the sum, but not all in their kind of problem sum nowadays. So it is better to pay attention in school. Engage up-to-date tutor if needed ...

                        Understand your point, but dam inconvenient especially if a popular school is too far.

                        At jc1/jc2, councelllors very busy on release of promo results/A-level results.

                        Seen too many of such cases every year and it spoilt my day.
