However, I do support the argument that some forumers raised earlier. To take up citizenship if a foreign student is admitted to gep.

Actually, if you scroll back, I was the one who suggested MOE set a criteria of making the child take up citizenship before starting GEP classes. LoL.

Thanks for agreeing with my views and letting me post

Eventually the child will, I guarantee you, we are mature enough to know the probability.. tyeogh don't be so kiasu lah to make this as criteria. :rahrah:

Unfortunately, there are many who see GEP as the ultimate 'prize' in the pri school journey...

Probably an added feather in the cap - your resume will look nicer with a GEP status, depending on the type of jobs you want in future. You can't blame parents for wanting the best for their child. You would too, at different stages

We must be realistic lah, gep also must complete up to secondary school wat. adding point? Dont think so leh, Maybe to 1st job or initial years, not thereafter. People count on the brain and attitude of graduate. :heresmyfish:

IMHO, but don't slam me ok

We should teach our child to be what they want to be, achieve what they want to achieve, no person should be judge by a single paper or words on a piece of paper. Their future is what they go out and make it to be. Don't live by rules set by others, set your own goals and go make it happen!

Each is free to set his own markers. This is the beauty of parenthood. I like your goals. For me, I prefer less geeky and more character. I have always believed the A graders will work for the C graders. Unfortunately, the child turns out blessed from the neck up, no matter how I make her use her limbs from the neck down *shrug*

:? I think both equally important la :lovesite:


As parents we have the fortune or ill fortune of moulding who and what they grow up to be.

What is in the head is not important, what is in their heart, is what really matters [/quote]

Teacher told dd2 that she missed out 1 question in her paper yesterday. She's kind of demoralized and asked me what if she didn't do well in her SA. I told her I'm happy with her positive learning attitude. And her result is not my measurement of her worth.
My measurement is fillial piety!
Not sure if that's helping or adding more stress instead LOL

My sentiments exactly! Important to have good learning attitude and filial piety.

A bit off topic. I make my kids kneel before me each year during CNY. Teaching them how to respect their parents. Old fashion? Anyone doing it?

I think this is a good tradition. Well done! but up to what age?
