the impact students' family background have on their eventual academic achievements, but personally i do not think that the extra resources top schools enjoy is the sole determining factor that leads to better results. giving alumni priority does not ensure but give a better chance of maintaining the school's quality.
i apologize if you took the sentence personally, as i was actually having the general herd instinct in mind when i said that, and well aware that you value convenience and time efficiency the most.
the whole argument about alumni identity stem from the post which said that no one cares if you are ex-NYPS, if you did not go on to the affiliated secondary schools. so i was trying to say being a top pri sch alumni does play a part, albeit a small one, in your personal status especially if you really did end up being an elite pure bred (rafflesian, for example). i have a pure bred rafflesian colleague in my dept, and she is viewed (subtlely) as more high class than other rjc alumni in the dept coz she has well to do and well educated parents who managed to start her off in RGPS. the whole point was about the VALUE of having a top primary school as alma mater.
