- Elitism
- Selection of students may not be as accurate (parents have the final say) ]]> 2017-09-11 02:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/socialcontext/34d2kshxxolv/wish/186223771 https://padlet.com/socialcontext/34d2kshxxolv/wish/186224947 I agree with the selection of students may not be accurate and I think that still has to do largely with stigma towards these schools. For example, even though there are schools such as SOTA, NAFA and Lasalle parents still discourage their students from attending these schools because they feel as though their child will not succeed ]]> 2017-09-11 03:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/socialcontext/34d2kshxxolv/wish/186224947 COMMENTS https://padlet.com/socialcontext/34d2kshxxolv/wish/186224951 do we really include these people into the society? ]]> 2017-09-11 03:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/socialcontext/34d2kshxxolv/wish/186224951 Comments https://padlet.com/socialcontext/34d2kshxxolv/wish/186224969 Potential Stigmatization by society

We are already classifying/segment people into smaller categories. ]]> 2017-09-11 03:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/socialcontext/34d2kshxxolv/wish/186224969 https://padlet.com/socialcontext/34d2kshxxolv/wish/186225024 Agree with how the selection of students may be inaccurate. In the end, parents, especially singaporean parents will get involved in their child's studies, leaving them no choice
