RI or HCI
Dear Parents
If you have offers from both RI and HCI, which will you choose ? Please justify the choice made.
(I know this is a wicked question!)

so what is your choice given the situation ?TwaTau wrote:It depends on what kind of culture you want your child to be expose to. My impression of both school is that RI is more of the "potato" culture and HCI has more of the "chinese" heritage. Both are good schools and it sure is a difficult decision to make but a good problem to have.
I am "potato", so will have nudge my child to RI if he is given that "difficult" choice.verykiasu2010 wrote:so what is your choice given the situation ?TwaTau wrote:It depends on what kind of culture you want your child to be expose to.

Re: RI or HCI
This type of wicked qn I liked. Cos I hope that by talking about it, somehow will increase the probability this becomes my problem in future It's like asking between Watten Estate & Coronation Rd, which bungalow you want to buy?verykiasu2010 wrote:Dear Parents

My choice? I will always go for RI. There's something about the prestige of RI that is compelling. When someone tells me that his/her kid is in RI, I straight away feel utmost respect them. Cos 虎父无犬子
But HCI people don't me ok. I'll break an arm for ds to go HCI too.
