        ...

        Am I right to say that ALL IP schools are the same - they don't really teach? This is why IP schools are seeking students for what they called \"Independent learner/Self-Learner/Fast-Learner\" etc..

                Perhaps even more. Some of the popular tuition centers specialize in RGS/RI, MGS/ACSI, SNGS/SCGS, etc etc.. All grouped tuitions. 😞 So yes, teach a bit, than outsource.

                  Teach little yes, tuition not necessary lah....I think these kids in IP are naturally bright so parents don't need to worry. I don't know what's there to tuition when 80% of the time, they are doing projects and assignments that may not be in syllabus....don't forget, in sec sch, it's no longer drilling or rote learning...

                    Did ACSI call up anyone for interviews for IP DSA?

                      I think one kind parent mentioned that ACSI doesn't conduct interview. If they do, it means that they like to ascertain some facts.

                        Agree, if you think your child needs tuition in order to cope in an IP program, perhaps IP is not suitable for your child then.
