[b]Although morally conservative due to its religious roots, the
school has a reputation for producing students who are, if not
brighter, then possessing sharp and inquisitive minds. The
literary, debating and drama societies are particularly
well-supported. ACS students also have a reputation for possessing
a quirky sense of humor, with pranks being a long-established part
of the school history.
see, u brats think that ur sch is the best. concrete evidence
here.
The school's students have also been accused of being
arrogant and snobbish, and ACS itself has often been charged as
being a school only for children of the rich and
elite.
may we know y the word "accused" appears? it's not as if they're
not. it seems like everything is just a myth made up, which we all
know it's a fact.
In the 1970s, there was a minor flap in the local press
about ACS students flaunting their wealth to other less privileged
students and the world at large, and the term "snob" began being
applied to them. As a result, the school initiated strict policies
on how much money a student was allowed to bring to school, and
even what kinds of watches or shoes would be permitted as part of
the school attire.
somehow prove that u brats are indeed snobs.
The dress code has been relaxed slightly over the years,
but the myth of the rich and elitist ACS student still survives to
a degree, despite the fact that students from all income levels
were and continue to be admitted to the school. Admittedly, the
presence of the Independent School, with its high school fees and
free-ranging curriculum, has not helped to dispel this idea.
Curiously, other schools in Singapore, even Independent ones, do
not suffer from the same reputation.
as i mention above. any students in acs with family income of $1000
or less?[/b]
You would be surprised by the amounts given out for
bursaries..
