I got in to a selective school but my parents decided it would be best for me to go to a top selective school. We enquired 2 months before school started and they put me to the top of the waiting list - consisting of at least 700 people. I really dont think you can generalise.

in my opinion;
Selective school testing''
Does not measure how smart you are.
It measure What you can do. S:


selective vs private
up to your child really.
if he/she is good with main subject core etc
go with selective,
private is more of a base thing
eg; at PLC there have specially art&design studio etc..

hi g_ day. asian families hire coaches 24x7. 38 out of 120 students were non asian.
i am from india. not sure that makes me an asian or not. but whats wrong with coaching. you seem to rely on the notion of talent. if you care to read( litreture,psychology) a bit you will find that success in life is a result of hard work, focus and persistence. if you can get help you take it. if you want to play tennis the you look for a good coach. you are not going to wake up one day and play like fedrer. you need to do anything well in life you have to work hard for it and you take all the help you can get. i would be interested in hearing your arguments against coaching although i seriously doubt that you have any. you sound like a racist with to much money and very little brains. i would recommend that you not only send your children for coaching but work at educating yourself as well. i will be very happy to hear what you have to say.
