Just want to say that my boy is very happy at SJI. He could have gone to a school based gifted programme but we picked SJI because of the calibre of the boys they produce.
We as parents have been very impressed with all the seniors so far. They are polite and greet everyone they meet. C also told us that they took very good care of him on orientation day and to date. Definitely not robotic or lifeless and, definitely more passionate, warm and polite than many other IP schools. The two boys we met at the open house were sec 1 boys, and not upper sec boys who helmed the fort.
At a tryout this week, another boy snatched C's equipment and the seniors immediately ran over to tell the bully to return the items, I
think that says a lot of them and their culture. He comes back everyday with stories of how the seniors really look after them juniors so it's really a great deal to us.
As for school comparisons, it's not fair to compare an apple to a grape. Both are nutritious in different ways so we have to learn to use the nutrients to enable our body to grown. If you wanted an apple, then why pick something else? At the end of the day, every parent have dreams for our children. Some can be realized, but some can't. Now that the boys are posted to SJI, make the most out of it. It will not be the stellar result producing school like RI but it will make a gentleman out of a boy. Ora et Labora!
