RE: All About GEP
Thank you everyone for your sharing . I went for the GEP briefing today . Many parents asked what if their kid cannot adjust to GEP and if the kid returns to mainstream , can kid return to the original school. Response was there is hardly any kid who has dropped out and so no direct response to the “what if “.
For sharing , I asked TLL on whether their regular classes ( not the special GEP course ) could have contributed to my kid passing the GEP selection test . The verbal response was that they believe their worksheets created by the curriculum team is tougher than the usual standard and would have introduced the GEP type questions somewhat .
Congrats to all the kids who have been invited to join the GEP program and all the best to those who are accepting the GEP invitation. For us, we are still considering and will respect our girl’s decision if she declines. It is important for our kids to be happily learning and not too stressed out . -
RE: GEP Preparatory Program
My kid did not do any GEP prep work but she has been doing TLL classes for a while ( more for foundation building and no need to do assessment books ) . Is it considered an artificial boost of GEP scores? She reads a lot and found the GEP English selection test fun but she is no Math Olympiad material. School teacher says she is creative and probably bored with main stream teaching because she is always distracted and fiddling with “something” or reading a book on the sly.
Anyone with a kid who only did TLL classes or regular tuition ( outsourcing of my parent
teaching duties) and got into GEP program and found it manageable and good for your kid ? -
RE: All About GEP
My girl got invited today but we are not sure if she will succeed in the program . We didn’t go for GEP training but she has been on Learning Lab for a while for regular classes . Not sure if it artificially boosted the results but she reads a lot and writes good compositions - used as model compo to be shared .
