Hi.


My ds is now in Y1 NUSH. He was offered Japanese as 3rd Lang at MOELC. But we have declined due to travelling time. My ds is still keen to take up Jap in house.

Anyone has more information about the curriculum, is it tough and is the dropout rate very high?

What Advantage does taking JPLT has over O level?

Thanks

GEP.


Hot topic this week cos most parents of selected children will hand in the form tomorow. Note to parents: the last day of submission is 10th Nov Mon 5 pm.

My ds is selected for the GEP. What my DH and I did was to explain the pros and cons of going for the programme to our son. We also let him speak about his concerns. Then we tell him we will consider how he feels and we will make the final decision. After all he is only but 9 years old. What is important is that whether he takes up the challenge or not of the programme, he has to be happy learning.

Our society here puts too much emphasis on acedemics. We tend to forget life is a continuous process of learning. GEP or not, a child has to enjoy the learning process.

As parents, we have to weigh whether our child's learning style will be able to handle the programme. Getting into GEP is not about prestige and perks (ya it may come with it).

IF itz suitable, itz about giving our children an alternative enjoyable learning experience.
