Parents are the elite.ACS Junior's PSLE results crashed in recent years. Their grades are like your regular neighbourhood schools because they have a huge local alumni whose kids are not well-verse in Chinese like your new citizens from PRC and Malaysia. The new PSLE AL scores penalize student exponentially for their weaker subject and they cannot use better grades in English, Maths and Science to average up their weak Chinese.
In the end, most ACS primary's kids cannot make it into elite secondary schools. They either LL enjoy the affiliation advantage to their ACS secondary or parents scramble to pay $30000-50000 to "coaches" to get into better schools via DSA.
The members of the educated class are extremely good at replicating themselves. They use their intellectual, financial and social advantages to pass down privilege to their children, creating a hereditary elite that is ever more insulated from the rest of society. S'pore has yet to build a meritocracy that is true to its values; truly open to all.Parents are the elite. It's correct you make friend with them.
On the contrary, most of my former classmates who have become successful in their careers, have sons and daughters who are created in their image. Most have invariably gone onto ACS I from ACS Junior and MGS; many made it to NUS to read Medicine, Dentistry and Law.ACS Junior's PSLE results crashed in recent years.

These are Good Training material to understand ah gong 大金刚掌LKY has always been a blowhard and full of shit, don't take his words seriously.
I remember a certain porlumpar teacher I had back in the day, he would get super excited whenever LKY released a book, he wanted us to read it and have discussion sessions about it.
I found out later that he was a PAP grassroots guy, and the father of the relative of my classmate. LOL.![]()
