Do they(schools) have the rights to do so?
-
so do schools have the rights to force their students to drop certain subjects...even aft the registration of the O levels?
we odd to think whether some schools are right in doing so or not
can they FORCE/BAN us from the papar (on the day of the exam)? or we have the rights to choose..
Can they STOP us from taking the paper that we have registered and have paid the money? -
No they don't.
Your subjects are registered with the board, not the school. I think this has happened before, and a classmate I knew actually raised the case all the way to one of the DDs in MOE and won. -
u mean ban u from an o lvl's paper on the day of the exam?
-
i dunno if they have the rights but i think they shouldn't, cos you paid for the exam fees and it's not registered with the school....
they shouldn't have the right to stop us from dropping any subjects or force us to drop any subjects -
They have the rights to stop you from taking the papers...
Provided they have a good reason like 'one week only come 2 days'...
most likely is behavior problems... -
A Maths har???
-
No they don't.
-
they can. seriously.
is because, take DnT as a example.
12 people taking the course DnT, and you dont come, keep absent. then you score badly in your exam, your overall mark all affect your friends (11 friends who took DnT as subject) by 10% causing their grade to drop. is like one for all, all for one.
of course, teacher can ask you to drop the subject, but parents on the another side must agree. then talk to the admin (VP or P). if everything goes well, the amount of money will be refunded to you (depending on what exam paper you drop). -

sciencelorh
pure science -
if you break any school rule they can prevent you from taking the exam.
e.g - long/dyed hair -
i thought the student would have graduated by 31st oct.
i had my grad ceremony before O lvl. -
Like I said, legally, they cannot force you to drop.
It's pure idiocy. If the student wants to take his paper, it's his call.
As for TS, you should pursue all avenues including bringing this matter up to the MOE and SEAB. -

LAst time my bro teacher also force him drop higher chinese. see principal sumore. Den my father call the sch and scold the principal.
DEn too bad they laolan let him take. in the end he get B3. No need take in JC.
Dun care bout them lar.. dey just dun wan u to pull down sch average.. -
You must meet the minimum attendance percentage before they can let you take the School's Prelim paper. And if you don't meet the %, they can force you to drop the subject.

In the end, that's where we see if a school only cares for its SQC, ISO, ranking BS and not about letting the student grow at his own pace.Originally posted by motoway:u toking bout those higher rank sch izzit? aiyah. heck.

but it will affect those who taking the subject same as him/her, if that chap didnt do well. -
NO!

So? The student has to suddenly care about others who are taking the same GCE O level paper as him/her?Originally posted by toyota-corolla:correct.

Bollocks. -
I think it affects the school more than the students.
-
precisely, and why should the other students be affected by his/her presence in the same exam hall?Originally posted by LazerLordz:So? The student has to suddenly care about others who are taking the same GCE O level paper as him/her?

If TS is referring to the barring of students from taking their paper on the day of the paper, the answer is YES, provided that the school is able to give an explanatory that's acceptable to the Chief Examiner of the particular school.
Acceptable Explanatory refers to Disciplinary Incidences, Police Case, Late Coming on the day of examination. -

But any attempt on the school to fabricate lies on that nature to prevent a student from taking a registered paper can lead to lawsuits. -

if schools are preventing students from taking the national exams just to save their own face, they deserve the middle finger.
