It’s regrettable that like the sheeps in Animal Farm, the amount of bickering here distracted us from the more useful and constructive posts in this thread.


I wonder if we’re Kiasuparents or kiasuteenagers in real life.

jetsetter:

Why would some parents (not saying anyone here) be upset? Maybe their kids are currently in the O-level track gunning for a coveted place in one of those top IPJCs via JAE, but due to this massive 'exodus' allowed by MOE, their kids' chances could be narrowed and COP of their dream IPJC lowered as supply diminishes??

Another group could be parents of prospective P5-6 students gunning for those established IP schools via PSLE/DSA. All these negative publicity generated by the new Govt JC's community could cause students to flock to other alternative schools as long as the IPJC isn't built, as such heighten competition elsewhere/affect the COP of selected IP schs?

I am also very thankful that you have brought this up when something so simple has escaped my simple mind. I always forget that people who push so hard for something are almost always far-looking. They proudly declare that they are truly altruistic in their objectives and have no vested interest in what they aggressively fight for since their kids are not in the picture, but it later shows that ahhh ... they are paving the way for their kids!

You can't fight with people like that. Now I understand why someone mentioned about 'you don't know who are the people helping you' or something to that effect. Now I know why the phrase was clear as day to him but totally murky to me. The truth is: you don't know who are the ones who truly have a personal agenda to fight for Mt Sinai.

I think the safety issue has been ridiculously magnified to show how irrelevant or incoherent the argument is, so ridiculous that I find it pointless to comment on, but I also find it funny that parents on kiasuparents forum really believe that the Singapore now is as safe as the Singapore when they were studying.

I always tell my friends who ask me to 'relax lah' when my kid isn't home at 9pm bcos they themselves also went home late when they were teens,\"Last time don't have 阿豪 leh.\"

Please do not bother to dwell on 阿豪 by researching who he is and how relevant it is to Mt Sinai. The details of the arguments to prove others wrong are just too silly.

I have said this and would like to say this again: not everyone wants his kid to go RJC/RI so please don't keep saying you studied there before to show how much of an elite you are.

It only makes people feel that you are very elitist.

I don’t see anyone who shares with me he’s from RI as being elitist. Granted, it’s a very good school. It’s just matter-of-fact sharing.


Anyway, I’m sure we’ve seen enough no-RI alumni who went on to have stellar careers.

Usually its the parent issue, not the kid...

See, I told you earlier, the Internet Bridgade is still using their same old tactics to divert, distract and disrupt constructive discussions.

Has the Internet Bridgade won? Good luck too all affected parents and may this thread rest in peace. :imanangel:

Hi Parents of CHS IP,


Could anyone of CHS (IP) of past DSA share some light on the DSA CHS IP selection? How many CO's of IP of CHS the school is giving?

I think it was around 30 last year. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

Justice_ Justin,


I thought this thread has been killed

Too bad for the IB if they exposed themselves. This thread will stay here forever for others to spot them.

To me, regardless whether they are IB or not, the negative posts are counter productive, as firstly, the affected parents got more upset after reading all the negative comments about them and their children.

cherryc:

It is really disgraceful to see disgraceful unaffected parents saying disgraceful things and don't know they are being disgraceful.

Hopefully aggrieved parents will ask why in the first place they are being subjected to all these. If things had gone as planned, there won't be this thread and all the sick irrelevant comments.

This should make them all the more question why this has happened and seek for better solution. And we all can learn something from this \"disgraceful\" experience and avoid this in future.

Secondly, the affected parents ended up leaving this open forum to go into their own closed groups for discussion. I understand that each feeder school has a few closed groups. And this has deprived MOE of valuable feedback from the ground. As a result, coming 25/5, MOE may not have a good understanding of what the ground is looking for.

sushi88:

So in summary, instead of helping MOE to market Mt Sinai positively, it leaves a worser impression about Mt Sinai.

MOE wonders if these detractors are helping them or stabbing them...their job on 25 May is in fact made tougher by so much animosity shown to the aggrieved group.

30 for IP (CHS) or 30 which also includes O level? :?

How was the interview last night (25/5), at MOE ?
