QUOTE(trojandude @ Mar 8 2023, 11:59 PM) I'll be very frank - expensive schools often have bad ROI. In all honesty, if you're going to judge a school based on ROI value, you'll never ever be satisfied. It's something like splurging on a LV or Rolex. High-quality, but in the end they provide the same function. Yeah but imagine go back kampung flaunting kid going to international school end up in some arts course hippie ....neighbour kid study stpm end up becoming brain surgeonThe cost to study in US these days, especially a private university say UPenn would be +- RM1m. The cost of study international school would be what? RM50-100k a year depending on which school you go. The truth is, it's a diminishing return. You pay a lot, but you gain only very little. It's what you can make of it in the end. You gain exposure to different cultures and people/connections that is simply not quantifiable. So stop looking at things from ROI perspective, and go only 1) if you can afford to "lose" that sum of money 2) expose your kids to a unique environment Many folks can afford to send their kids to private schools / study overseas, but not all of them can accept their kids potentially getting nothing or barely anything out of it. What separates these two kind of folks is simply whether you're actually rich, or you're just enough rich. TLDR - Private/International school is a luxury Luxury yes.. but know when and who to flaunt to... Don't flaunt then malu sendiri. GiganticBird, AgogoLatoto, and 1 other liked this post

Meaning, they treat students like clients, then actually treating them like students. Some international schools even operated in shoplots...Luxury yes.. but know when and who to flaunt to... Don't flaunt then malu sendiri. So unless can enter proper international schools, better to just go to a real school, sk, srjk, smk, smjkc and independent school. |

I wish the Missionary Schools were retained with English as their medium of instruction and other English medium schools as well. Why did those old farts had to mess up the excellent education system we had back in the days

Syllabus made all the different. Take a look at IGCSE history textbook, then u would understand why international school is preferred. Besides, IS allow students to speak up. Government school still having mindset of listen x7. Well, student to teacher ratio might indirectly caused this. If can affordable, SJKC + IS is the way forward. mroys@lyn liked this post

Since private/ international schools ever gives better education, kek. From all my experience with friends, colleagues and other networks, all their kids end up being braindead lazy ass - the irony from what others was ingrained with. Its simple, as these schools are just for the kids to lay back and do what they like without the suffering and oppression that is needed for anyone to develop into strong minded people. max_cavalera liked this post

I heard IGGSE sort of designed from Swedish style education, no homework one, more empowerment to allow children to make more critique decisions. The jury is still out there, whether if they can perform as well in the real corporate world. I have worked with some british guys, they very good in accentuating themselves, but work quality the verdict is still out there. |

Why did those old farts had to mess up the excellent education system we had back in the days i came from a missionary school, it was one of the nation's best. and u know what ? after gomen took over, they ruined it !!! they brought in many teachers of their out of the missionary school HR recruitment. the teachers were of questionable qualities, often ponteng classes, My class monitor even caught one or two sleeping in the teacher;s room when they were supposed to deliver lessons. the good ones were retiring one by one, or requested to transfer to other schools. when my missionary school was turned into a full blown sekolah kebangsaan, that's when my nightmare started. to make matters worse, they were transfering truant students from other states to my school. A few students that got kicked out of RMC and other boarding schools for sleeping, selling cigarettes, ragging and bullying came to my classroom. It turned my class into a circus. Teachers were scared to come to my class, because we had many gangsters. After school, they would regroup and go to jinjang to fight. This is why I have doubts to want to send my kids to SK. |

In many cases, it is not a choice. Either get some education or none. Especially this past pandemic.
