their standard is low, questions are easy, so i presume yr daughter should be scoring very high in DHS.tabletennis wrote:of course river valley. just to share my own experience with my daughter. i took her out of dunman high last year and transferred her to rv. on paper, dunman high is a top school. in reality, their standard is quite low and lacks rigour. all their junior high exam questions for all subjects are similar to or merely duplicates of the test questions that students already did before. the school boasts that they teach beyond the o-level syllabus but if you look closely at their exam or test questions and compare them with those from the non-ip schools, you would be shocked by how easy and straight-forward the questions are.. it took me a while to finally make the decision to move my daughter. i didn't quite believe when my daughter's tutor first alerted me and strongly advised me to send her to another school. i ignored her advice for about a year..
think RV has a better holistic education. RV got BPA Student All-Round Development in 2006, 2 years ahead of DHS.ganchiong wrote:Distance is not a problem. Looking for one which gives a more holistic education.
They have o-level class in DHS?Augmum wrote:
as for this yr (sec2) streaming, 2 pupils from GEP classes were downgraded to "O" level class next yr.
probably is a good idea to email or clarify verbally with some of my gal's teachers to get their comments of the above view.
Won't you have to travel a longer distance to RV?
