May we get a response concerning the 2017 form 1 enrolment process.
Our children were invited for interviews where they were made to write entrance tests at a fee.
Months down the line, almost all pupils are getting letters of regret. May authorities explain to us what they expect exactly from a grade seven child.
We heard that it produces one of the best results but it seems those results not only come from their efforts but they select extra intelligent candidates.
Why I am saying so is because my child is the overall best performer at a certain private school but she got a letter of regret which cited that she did not meet the expected standard of J.T.
Now as a parent I am disturbed to learn that she is below standard when she has been scooping prizes even in public speaking.
Is John Tallach telling us that we need to send our children back to primary school or the interviews were a way of raising funds.
This is an eye opener because all these years we thought J.T was working hard to produce results yet they only put icing on already baked cakes.
