Having been through Headstart, I'd like to share a few thoughts so parents signing up for ITT can put into consideration:
1. Was Headstart part of the admission process? Content-wise I don't think Headstart was too different from other playgroups then available. However, at $6,000+ for 10 x 1 hour something sessions, Headstart is IMO very expensive (even by today's standard). The official line was that it was not part of the application process. But if it was not, why did the school hand out a second and different PN application form to Headstart participants? If an applicant did not participate in Handstart, I am not sure how this second application form could have been obtained. In fact, non-Headstart participants probably would not even know such form existed!
2. Only some applicants got invited to Headstart. If it was not part of the application process, why and how did the school select only some applicants to invite?
3. Not all Headstart participants were interviewed. And no interview meant no chance of getting admitted? Only the school would know but I don't know anyone who didn't attend an interview but got admitted. The question is how did the school select applicants for interview? Probably not based on performance of the kids during Headstart - in my year, what I gathered is that (1) there were 2 Headstart batches, (2) most of the participants in the 1st batch got interviewed, (3) only a few of the participants in the 2nd batch got interviewed. I can't see any logical reason why kids in the 1st batch could have out-performed those in the 2nd batch by such a wide margin that interviews were offered mostly to 1st batch participants. Would it be that the school had already decided upfront based on "credentials" who to interview (and who not to) when allocation to 1st/2nd batch were made? If the decisions were made upfront, poor 2nd batch participants - I am sure many would have joined and participated with every effort with the hope of advancing their applications!
As with the opaqueness of the application process, my thoughts on the above remains to date. |
