GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection
-
snow123:
Understand that there are many projects to do for the GEP pupils, does that means much parental involvement is needed? Though the pupils are 'expected' to do the projects themselves, but at this young age, i do believe that much time and effort are expected from parents to guide them along (or even teach and help him) to do the projects? or not? my concern is if my kid is not an independent learner, as in need nagging and pushing to do his work, although he is rather good academically, would he is suitable for GEP prog? i am a working mother and i am afraid that i do not have the time needed to help him go through it. Hence even though if he would be selected for GEP, i am really contemplating whether should he do for GEP or not. Hope more parents with GEP pupils can share their experience good and bad ones for my info. thanks
Actually the delivery of the projects are already scheduled way in advanced so there will be several weekends or even term break to work on.
As for being independent, how many kids r really independent, esp at this early age. -
When will the results of round 2 be typically out?

Dear Experience Parents,
During the 3 years in GEP , the kids still have chance to enjoy their childhood?? -

Of course they will still enjoy their childhood. They play soccers and computer games, just like any other p4 kids.Dear Experience Parents,

Just curious why rulers are not allowed to bring into the test centre.

Alright, thanks. I have no expectations whatsoever, but in the off chance it happens, just need to plan schedule. -
There will always be surprises coz many of these parents show little expectation n the kids just go there and HOOT and they just get selected!
Those who keep talking n pushing the kids…many of these kids suffer meltdown during the test after failing to answer a few of the questions n panic. Heard of girls breaking down n crying…visibly traumatised.
