It’s really disheartening for our children who are affected by this great jump in cut-off points. I have a feeling too that those with higher cut-off points chose to go to those mid-range neighbourhood schools thus the increased cut-off. The whole ‘big fish in small pond’ and ‘all schools are good schools’ are slowly taking place if this continues on as a trend. Good luck to those who are appealing for their school of choice, with the upcoming festivities and year end holidays, I guess results will only be out after the first week of school or so.

I have a feeling many are requesting for appeal this year. It seems neighborhood school cut-off went as high as 7 points while elite schools went down as much as 4 points. 2006 babies are hit real hard. Honestly I personally feel that the booklet that was given as a reference to choose schools is not reliable based on the cut-off points reflected in the booklet this year. :stupid:
