While reading yesterday's newpaper....
Finally someone spoke up on unfair treatment of students in schools....
Schools advised students to leave the school and join ITE when they can qualify for the 'O' levels.

"The Straits Times reported on Saturday that an all-girls' mission school had advised some of its pupils to join the Institute of Technical Education even though they had qualified to study for the GCE O levels in Secondary 5.

As parents fumed over that advice, and the manner in which it was done, the school defended its stance.

It seems the principal had gone into a supposedly 'weak' class and displayed the results of the girls on a transparent slide.
Her point was that she was trying to give the girls a wake-up call and she argued that it was a fact that a student who just scraped through the N levels was not likely to do well in the O levels.

The students' emotions were quite clear.
One of them was quoted as saying: 'It is very sad when your principal doesn't have faith in you and will not give you a chance.' "

above was taken frm yest newpaper article....

Even though they didn't name the school...the above senario sounds and feels WAY to familiar.... I bet u girls might feel that it seems very familiar coz the exact same thing was done to us too!

Well according to the newpaper...MOE can't do anything abt it coz its the principal which has the power~~
I feel for the girls~~!!
