I would be very disappointed in the system if such a decision is made. No child should become 'first aid' for schools not at the top of the list. This can prove to be detrimental for that child, as the quality of teaching may no be up to par not to mention the facility itself.

Both the child and the parents worked hard to ensure that their child make the best possible placement and the fact is that not every home is as disciplined. Why should my child have to mix after all his hard work. I agree that maybe GSAT should not be used the determine placed, but I strongly beleive that Placement should be made based on grades.

Nothing is wrong with classifying schools. Don't waste children time by putting them with slow learners. Keep GSAT going but I think they need to change this dumb aspect of slowing down individuals.
