erm , i am a student from RGS currently and i would like to say that the DSA students from sports have to meet a certain requirement for their PSLE to get in [ i think maybe ranging from 245 onwards ] and they ain't given extra classes. They are allocated to respective classes along with the rest of people of the same DSA item with the mainstreams. RGS do leave them alone and they're coping pretty well here

Hi Rainbowdreams

How do you like your school? I have heard that girls can be very snobbish is that true?

hmmm. maybe you could say so for a minority of them. but certainly not for most of us , even those wealthy ones mix around with the middle-classes! but there're classes with alot of rich people and it would be a little hard to communicate there.

I know that during my daughter's year, some of the sports DSA girls came in with 210s-220s for their PSLE and struggled in their exams in Sec 1 and 2.That may be why some of the schools have this additional requirement now.

How R these DSA-Sports Girls doing currently?
Have they managed to catch up on their grades?
If Not, R the school giving them Additional Supplementary class to help them?
Or has there been more drastic Action, like request to transfer out from RGS?javascript:emoticon(':shock:')
Hear say that there are special class for DSA-Sports Students only, is it true?

Just to mention to those parents or existing students that are interested in taking up third language , if you’re going to be in an IP school , it’s not really advisable cos the workload is much heavier than that in primary school and you have to spend almost 4 hours in the MOELC centre once everyweek! And not to forget the homework that would add on to the tonnes of existing work. And when you want to quit it , you really have to survive to the window periods [ maybe that’s only for my school in that case ] and the commitments are huge!

Yep , i know some people are still surviving through third lang although they’re sec 4s but try comparing the number of sec 1 entrances and sec 4s left in the same batch and you would realsie that the drop out rate is SUPER. since the start of sec 1 till now , almost half of my third lang class dropped out ._.

[quote=\"micko07\"]And your evidence for that is? ...

I am STUDYING in an IP school, and while I love this whole system and all, I find my classmates absolutely disgusting. It varies from school to school, really. In my school, almost everyone is for backstabbing, someone stole my notes before the exams, and I actually kept them painstakingly in a file in my bag. Go figure.

I am so afraid of that. May I ask which school are you from?[/quote]

gosh o.o i am also studying in an IP school , and i must agree the system is well-planned. About your classmates , i think there's only a minority of such people that are blacksheeps right ? I mean if almost everyone is like what you mentioned , it would just be a competition of whom has more superior skills of stealing and stuff right. but i do agree that there's a handful of despo people who go around stealing notes and i advice you to keep them at home , so they would be out of reach from others(: and i am also kinda curious of what's the school of yours that seems so competitive.
