That's what i have been trying to say. Thousands of them going to walk the extra mile because of some MOE planners sleeping on this projects or what?
Not only need to find out why eat dead cat also need to find who cause them to walk or ride the 冤枉路 for 2 years so they can be more 心服口服. -
For years, different batches have been using the RJC site without much issue, so why is it different this time? What is causing the angst and unhappiness?
It can’t be that all the strawberries are from these 3 schools right? Think harder. There must be something more complex than just designating the affected students as "strawberries".
It is the loss of credibility and mishandling of a simple matter that resulted in this situation today. -
As an affected parent with DD in SCGS, it’s true that the location is not our main concern but it doesn’t mean we feel nothing over the change of holding school site and delays of new IP JCs.
We made our choice of school based on the information available about the new IP JC and we trust MOE in delivering the “plan” and “promises”. While we try to understand unforeseen circumstances do happen but there is nothing wrong to feel disappointed over the lack of transparency in handling this issue and nothing wrong to feel injustice or betrayed by the changes.
Even though we are a minority as pointed out by some and the school is just a “small” school in the eyes of some and probably doesn’t warrant the attention but it also doesn’t mean the minority will just have to accept the ‘final decision’ in silence. We have the right to voice out our opinions as stakeholders.
If one day the company that I am working right now is going to shift from CBD district to Changi, I will consider to change job because I do not want to travel to Changi even though it is just a ‘few’ MRT stations away from CBD. Whatever decision I make, I have a choice. Some people do not mind travelling the longer distance because it is your choice and you make the choice based on your priorities and you are mentally prepared for it when you make the choice. It is totally different from an unexpected situation with no ‘choice’ for us. Because it concerns the critical 2 years in the preparation of A levels for our children and coupled with so many uncertainty and unknowns that we are anxious and worried.
I want to support those parents/students who are affected by distance because I do not see how choosing a school close to proximity which is what MOE is encouraging needs to be penalized with the changes with no options being offered. Why suddenly we are being criticized as being “over-protected” of our children and our kids are made of “paper”. It is MOE who is contradicting themselves over their message. It is indeed hurting to see such insensitive comments.
We went through the hard thinking process before we submitted our 6 choices of secondary school based on a lot of considerations. For whatever decision we made, we certainly hope and want the best for our children. There are a lot of lessons to be learnt from this whole issue and if MOE is not able to handle this issue properly, in my opinion, the implication is not only on affected students but future intakes to this new IP JC. I have another DD taking PSLE in 2 years’ time and if she qualifies for IP, I bet I am going to make my choice very carefully based on what I can see and not just a picture subjected to unforeseen circumstances because I do not want to risk another disappointment.
Last but not least, while I certainly would like to look at things positively, unfortunately I cannot be convinced at this point of time that the change would not turn out to be negative. A positive change will only happen when there is a concerted effort being put in to ensure things happen positively. -
Very well written snowyqueen! This is the kind of reasonable response I expect from any concerned parents or citizens . Without voicing all these concerns out, the matter would be closed with perhaps 2-3 official letters and history will repeat itself in other incidents and probably got worse each time. That’s not the future SG100 anyone wants to see. Especially we are showing examples to the " whatever-fruit-u-want-to-name it " generation . If you call them strawberries , then what about the adults who caused the errors ?

Maybe saying my DC study in the JC in Bishan more prestige than saying DC is studying on sua teng of Mt Sina. :scratchhead:

But I think some people want some heads to roll but can't seem to identify who is accountable. :scared: -

Did you read the explanation given by MOE on pg 59 of this ksp? Why are you parents being so difficult to your govt? We are talking about a dynamic development of a complex infrastructure and hence inevitable to encounter unpredictable circumstances. It's not a simple error one can easily avoid. You have overshadowed a complex project by your BIG ME AND MY BIG DC. Stop telling your dc it's adults' mistakes. You aren't showing good example to your children. I am sure they can understand the situation better than their parents.
If one day, your DC is caught in a similar situation as an adult, is this the (unpardonable) kind of response you want for him from the public?
