Sadly top schools don't set PSLE COP for teachers (Google shocking news of I.P. teachers who were normal students).
End up, Bishan & Bt Timah are full of tutors boasting about their students' alma mater (but not their own
) except a few fellow Rafflesians Irwin, Kelvin, Jack & Hwachongians Melvin, Julian who dare publicise their good degrees.
Parents who studied at top schools ask "What else is new?"
but those easily impressed should heed Prof. Madonsela: "listen well to hear what is not said."
Double Tragedy of Tuition
Tragedy 1 : Tutors who couldn't enter top schools open tuition centres in Bishan & Bt Timah to fulfil their childhood dreams ![]()
Tragedy 2 : Clueless Bishan & Bt Timah students signed up with tutors who couldn't study at their school ![]()
Double Clues for Clueless Students
Clue 1: Top schools didn't ban ex-teachers from disclosing their alma mater, see RI teacher-turned-principal is alumnus and Hwa Chong principal is alumnus. Why are their boastful teachers-turned-tutors suddenly secretive? ![]()
Clue 2: Check LinkedIn.
Opposite Poles Attract
Why do top schools produce teachers with LinkedIn Education profiles that are polar opposites of bright people like Mr. Phang's former student Teddy - Cambridge 1st/NUS High?
If you want tutors with unmentionable degree classifications and who studied at schools not even worth mentioning on LinkedIn, you may as well attend their alma maters ![]()
