Agree! Things apply to other kids do mean applicable to your kids.
My experience:
My kids transferred from an int'l kg to a local one. Int'l kg commented that she is cheerful and expressable. However, local kg commented that she is talkative. For her primary school, we gave up a famous traditional school but a school that we think it may fit her better. Both my hubby and me believe that if she is capable, she would be able to show it provided that we give her sufficient opportunities.
