Learning Point - Discussion

Monster Mummy:

Wow, i think they are quite strict.


Because they have mentioned that they are enrichment centre and not tuition centre. Maybe I let my kid try the entry test.

Ya.... in their website they boost abt their achievement for PSLE is 97% of A* - A, of course lah.... they reject weak student who needs more help. Their system can only help good student but not the weak student.

Others ctr will help to bring the weak student up to par but not Learning point. THey closed their door.

I was quite dismoralised, 'cos my younger child managed to clear the paper but not my elder child cant make it. what impact had they caused to my child, who scored 84 for English in her SA2?

seem you are going to let your child try, let me give you some tips abt the pre entry test. It consist of gammar, cloze passage (without helping words), comphre and compo. Make sure you prepare you child or else you have to try 6 mths later.

It is quite sad to see educ ctrs only provide for the best result students or students from popular school. So stressful as a parent here. My friend’s daughter from Raffles Girl, attends both LL and LP as well as tutor for english and science, LL and 2 tutors for math. These are in addition to ballet, swimming… I cannot believe it…She is spending thousands on her daughter every month. Now her daughter is promoted to the best class in RGS. She is registering her for math olympiad next yr. This is super kiasu… How many parents in spore are doing that?

Another case, my friend has just tried to enrol her son with LP (Simei) and was rejected. For her ds, during teacher meeting, his form tr said his English is ok but my friend wld like to see improvement in his son that why she gave a try with LP didnt know turn out to be disappointment.

Seem like LP only takes elite kids and gain their popularity. They are not there to help weak students. So what, they have 100% A* students! We wanted help but LP rejected us.

Agree with you jojo. What they will say during the rejection conversation is, \"We are an enrichment centre, not a tuition centre. We only accept children with strong English foundation. Please send your child to tuition and come back for assessment 6 mths later.\"

Basically, LP do not have the heart/soul to help weaker or average students. They only take in very good students who can produce the A or A* and not to ruin their so call \"good image'. Really despise such educators whose intention is to earn more $$$ in the easier way. :slapshead:

So in a nutshell, for parents whose child really needs help to improve his/her English, LP is not for you.

to clarify, the ctr that claimed 100% A* was Simei ctr for 2010 PSLE.
