LiuDeHua 4th Gear October 31, 2014 Share October 31, 2014 Hello folks.. Don't know if its good news or something more siong ahead... my kid actually got selected into GEP.. We never prepared him for this at all... we didn't even know he gone for Round 1 until he told us he needed to take Round 2 in another school. Any feedback/recommendations if this is actually beneficial for a kid? If it does, which are the recommended schools in NE area? I got kicked out in round 1. So your son is smarter than me. Thats like something that happens once in few hundred years. Congrats bro. Its damn good news for you. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJX Turbocharged October 31, 2014 Share October 31, 2014 (edited) If ur child can clear round 2, pls dun deprive him of the opportunity. The curriculum are really different to bring out the best potential in them. Gifted is gifted. Cannot be trained. Only those "fake" and tutioned to be gifted can't cope and have to drop out.. Those parents spent so much money juz to tuitioned their kids to be gifted but at the end their children are the ones to suffer.. My friend who is a scholar was going through some gifted program questions with his child. Out of 10 questions he can only answer 3.. His daughter can answer 9!!! And she says the answers juz appear in her mind..That's really amazing.. And she has photographic memory.. If u asked her to recite a paragraph out of a book that she has read at a random page you chose, she can do it. That is really gifted. I was so amazed..
