我看完的结论是：尽量上混校，一定要尽最大的努力上更好学校。
　
I was from a "branded" girls' school (A) , shifted to a co-ed neighbourhood school (T) in primary 5.
It was a huge culture shock tbh. I find that there are obvious differences in the way students in A behave compared to T. Like what @jammy_buttons said, I personally feel that girls from A conduct themselves in a somewhat "high ses" manner, like there is some form of "polish" in the way they act and carry themselves. However in T, people there were just... rowdy af. Those "aiya aiya DON CARE LA". I remember the very first day I stepped into T, I was literally taken aback by the badly vandalised tables, dirty floors, rusty windows etc.... It was like a blasphemy in which would NEVER occur in A. My classmates shouting "EH BANGLA" from the 4th floor down to the HDB carpark, carving their names on desks..... I was speechless.
In A, I was just an average student with very average grades. However, when I shifted to T, I kept topping classes without much effort and eventually topped the whole level in certain subjects as well. Classmates in T were like, "Eh did you pass? did you pass?" and for me I will be like, what do you mean "pass"? Just a "pass" aka 50/100 is never acceptable where I came from. Like in A, we never ever discussed who passed, it was more like, did you get an A? Even when I got a 65/100 in A I'd be very upset, much less anything lower than that. But yeah, when it came to grades, I sensed that expectations were not as high in T as compared to A.
This brings me to the point whereby our ministers say "ALL SCHOOLS ARE GOOD SCHOOOOLS" no. No. NO. Don't believe that shit. For someone who has experienced both, the environment you study in and the people you hang around with shapes you. Now I'm not trying to say that neighbourhood schools are bad. There are always things which are better, such as the kampong spirit and togetherness within the students. AND THE DEDICATED TEACHERS. I also feel that the teachers in T are more passionate about teaching and the wellbeing of their students compared to A. When I was in A, all I remember was that the teacher flung my workbook across the floor HAHA.
Obviously the kids in A are richer than the kids in T. Like their housewife moms would drive those Range Rovers and SUVs, waiting for their kids to end school, almost everyone could afford tuition so listening in class wasn't necessary. The facilities in school are also newer, cleaner and more advanced than T.
