KSP:

Top Pri Sch = Top PSLE result


I would think the follow Pri schools which have GEP programme would most likely (although not always) produce Top PSLE results.

- Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) Boys
- Catholic High School (Primary)* Boys
- Henry Park Primary School Co-ed
- Nan Hua Primary School* Co-ed
- Nanyang Primary School* Co-ed
- Raffles Girls' Primary School Girls
- Rosyth School Co-ed
- St Hilda's Primary School Co-ed
- Tao Nan School* Co-ed

I agree with you. After all, they are the top 1% of the whole cohort.

This makes me wonder something. How does those students (in GEP school but not in GEP class) fare? Wonder any students (that come from normal classes) actually tops the PSLE results? I will be impressed if normal classes can also produce top PSLE result. Then that school can be really considered.

I agreed that those so called top schools are because of GEP, we should really look at the normal classes results for better comparision

HI,


Am looking for a patient and good teacher for my boy who is a beginner. We are willing to go to the teacher’s place if it is located west near Clementi/Jurong East/West Coast. Looking at weekday evening after 7pm.

Please pm me the contact and the fee. Thank you.

[quote=\"zhuangzi\"]P2A(2) is flawed as most will choose not to join alumni as they do not want to pay for it. Some might argue that this is not fair to those poorer. I suggest dividing equally the vacancy after P2A(1), if odd number just allocate to those in P2A(2)

why is this flaw? the ex students who studied there did help to contribute to the school in their simple ways as compare to those parent who did not study there but now want their kids to get in because it is a good school?

May I ask in what way did they contribute? The point I'm trying to make is too many abuse this, and it is time to take a closer look at this. But giving them a chance to be equal to 2B is very fair to me.[/quote]1) the ex students past psle results contributed to the \"popularity\" of the what the school is having now.
2) the ex students have their fair share of donation and flag days for their school
3) the ex students have done their duties to keep the school clean and neat by doing gardening, picking up litters, etc

They are not free riders as what you claimed. But they are in a position where you does not enjoy hence you are not happy.

Well, in this case it will still create a big imbalance in everyone wants to get properties within certain estates close to good schools to ensure they get to the schools...

You're not getting my point. There won't be no NYPS or RGPS, so called \"better\" schools. There will be an even mix of students in EVERY school, not just elite parents sending their \"elite\" offspring to these schools. There will be no such thing as popular or not popular schools as you will have NO CHOICE where you go.


In estates with both private and HDB housing, the percentage of the student intake will mirror that of the housing type around the schools.

Of course there will be spots whereby there are no schools within 2km of your residence then your child will be posted to a school maybe 3 or 4km away.

Don't think you are realistic. Those \"NORMAL\" schools that are near the rich will be sooner or later be better because they have the $$ or donation to get better resource/facilities.

As long as human beings has the sense of competitive spirit in them they will be a difference....
