Looks like the top 5 jc are all IP JC

How did you come to this conclusion?

NYJC is 3rd ahead of VJC, EJC, DHS …..

I am trying not to use my F22 here as China has spoken.

My DD1 has been balloted out of RI. She chose RI as her 1st choice the as she reckoned that RI has better pool of resources where she can tap for her subjects combi.

Nevertheless, NY ranked in 2nd in her choice as it is near our house, with direct bus or mrt access. The dress-down days and 8.30am reporting time are some of the other draws. She also heard that NYJC has well established Math and Chem.dept. She was won over after her first week orientation in NY. So it doesn't really matter even if NYJC is not her 1st choice.

Like many other JC students or NYcians, she has her struggles in her J1 as she has to juggle with her sport CCA practices, her leadership role, and to balance with the mini quizzes, weekly tests and getting used to the standard of papers in JC, etc. .But she told me the teachers are very helpelful. The consultations really help to clear doubts and she even dropped her Chem tuition at the beginning of J1 (till now). Despite the high standards of papers set, she is able to navigate thru and slowly gain better footing in most of her subjects, of course, with the help of her teachers besides her hard work. I think this part is very instrumental as to why NYJC is able to attract lower COP students to join them year after year.

Low COP schools naturally attract top students. Like if you see a long queue of customers at a hawker stall, naturally you would be keen to try the food.

It is all about hard work. As long as your DD continues to work hard, she will do well esp if she is happy and has good support from the school and friends. Most of the students score A in PW maybe because everyone in the group is motivated to do well.

It does not mean that just because one is in a top school, one is GUARANTEED to do well. It is all individual’s hard work. The school can only do so much.

A school is a public institution. This means it has a basic duty to the public, not just to those who are associated with it. As a public institution, future potential students, their parents, have a rightful claim to information from it; even for the curious by-stander.

Re information, we say it is a mistake for NO information to be the case, as some are clamoring. NO information makes everyone stupider.

Information, including frivolous information and even harmful misinformation, adds value. The noisier, the better. Because nobody kicks at a dead dog, when a place is noisy, it means something is cooking at that place. For those with a stake in it, it is only of the essence to give it a careful lookover.

We see names raised in the discussion, kaypoh, gossip. This is rather unfortunate, since these are actually the naturally existing sieving mechanisms the information world needs for correct decision making. Kaypohs, gossips, provide the noise, very necessary noise, for sieving out frivolous information and/or harmful information. (Re kaypohs, gossips, in a pleasanter and better mannered world, the correct word to use is by-stander.)

Information makes everyone smarter.

Let us cite an example: buying online. When we buy online, especially of an unfamiliar product or from an unfamiliar vendor, we always look at their reviews first. We normally won't risk buying when there are no reviews.

Even with a product and/or a vendor we are familiar with, such as a car, we still take a look at their reviews, although these reviews carry less weight in our buying decision.

When we look at these reviews, we always look at the negative comments first. Always. Because the negative comments alert us to unseen things which the eye misses. Granted some reviews can be frivolous. But the higher the stake, the more time we will spend sieving through them before we decide whether to buy or not to buy.

There are so many other information to ask like how’s the school culture, what are their teachers like, start times, what subject combi that can be taken etc.
But to specifically ask for their results and results only and then mention other top JCs revealing their results and kicking up a ruckus with all kinds of accusations about the school for not revealing their results, if this is not trying to compare which JC is better, then what is it?
There are so many other information about the school on their website. So why is there no transparency? Or only because they did not reveal their results for people to compare that they are being accused of hiding information and not being transparent?
