Q: I want my son to go to my alma mater, which offers the Integrated Programme (IP) as well as the O-level track. If I am realistic, my son is unlikely to do well enough for the IP track. Should I ask him to consider the O-level track? Will that make him feel "second class"?
A: It is important you ask yourself - do you want him to go to your alma mater for the right reasons? Will he benefit from attending the school?
