I gave the sch a call just now. Being informed that if unsuccessful in ballot, can put in wait list but not first come first serve basis. Principal makes the final decision if there is a place available... Sounds weird. Seems like opening back door...

which school is this?

Hi


The school will post the result of the school admission for phase 2B ? Roughly when will we receive it?

I don't think I should name the sch here.
But it's a boys' sch.

Frankly speaking, my backup sch which all along not a popular one, doubled the registration this year too… I fear that if I also can’t get my boy into the 2nd choice, my logistic will go haywire…

All the best to those who have to go thru balloting under phase 2B on Friday.

Certainly better if one uses hand to juggle the balls and just draw or even paper or any other form that ensures the balls or paper are well juggled and mixed.

bagabunny:

There's such instructions from moe on how to turn ball?
Anyway does anyone dare to tell the P how and what to do?
All jittery and hearts in their mouths already. .

Would it be better if using paper?





At my girl's school, balloting was done in a \"net\" ball with a metal scoop in the center of the ball. Those toto style. Each ping pong ball had a number written on it to represent the girls name. Each girl has been pre assigned to a number so u cannot choose ur lucky number.

It is very unfair to use this toto ball. Because the instruction given by moe is to Gently turn anti clockwise (or clockwise ) once or 3 times then the other direction 3 times. So gently is the key word here and the spinner will do it slow motion and the balls just away left right left right with no jumping motion. I rather those machine can blow air from below the ball jump up and down type works even better than this!

So u can imagine those balls which are in the mid portion has a higher probability to be scooped up as the metal scoop is in the center only. None of us voiced out for the spinner to spin more vigorously. Everyone so gan cheong for that 10 seats out of 25.

Thanks very much, ryes, for this important feedback.

So parents who are balloting for 2B this week -
Before balloting start, remind that person in charge of stirring the balls, to do something, make sure all the toto balls turn vigorously.

Otherwise if balls don't move much, is not fair to always keep picking up balls located in the centre of the cage.

Because once the balloting start, complaint no use, since balls had been selected.
So, do make yr voices heard, before balls start turning.
Before balloting commence.
Make sure all toto balls have a chance, to be turned, fairly.[/quote][/quote]
