Karoon Turbocharged November 2, 2017 Share November 2, 2017 @karoon, since cannot change school already, just tell your... nephew to make the most of it. NUS high is not a bad school and may even allow your nephew to get into the desired course in NUS next time. The worry is its pure academic. The child seems to prefer sst which also offered him a place. He said more fun. Thats why the father a bit kancheong now... why then they choose nus high? Because everybody. Everybody said sure 100% go nus, sure fast learner, sure no pb. Looking at nus high china population also reminded of rulang pri in jurong. Top school but hardcore rote learning all the way. So a worry is burnout. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a worry is burnout.i see... however i would assume that this boy is currently doing well academically which is why he managed to get a place in NUS High. who knows maybe he likes it there and will do well?

Ben5266 Supercharged November 2, 2017 Share November 2, 2017 NUSH is really for the cream in academic, if he can tahan the stress, sld go. But they dont do "O" and "A" levels, they do a diploma at the end of the 6th year, so if cannot make it is all time wasted. Highest qualification become PSLE. But then again, I have not heard of any drop outs, and tiagong that 100% make it to NUS. This one is tiagong not I gong. A few top students enter Ivy league Uni in USA ok. Don't play play. NUS are for those 2nd tier results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoon Turbocharged November 3, 2017 Share November 3, 2017 Heard that NUS high is math centric? Are they adequate in other areas? Only maths and science. In other areas they are... charitable. Eg this year they racked up a record scoreline in soccer... 28-0. But on the receiving end. So, just maths and science. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
