In 70\" we are still sau kou. Our parents just said the nearer the better. No need to walk so far. Can just run to school on a rainy day and don't have to carry umbrella.

Now the situation is different. Most parents are graduates and we have expectations. We want not only the better ones but the best.

Hi boieng71,

Check out the balloting history to see if there is a good chance before you go offer. http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/jurong-west

I understand that it's a popular school out in the west. It's actually a bit late in the game if you are registering next year. But call up the school lah, that's the most correct thing to do.

This PV thing is so stupid…only good for schools bcos they get parents to be traffic warden, teach art work, do admin work, water plants, wash sweet potatoes etc etc all for FREE !!!


We live within 1km of the school…because son is a Dragon kid (Year 2000), so became kiasu and wrote in to be PV. I believe he could have got into the school with no problem, but hubby didn’t want to take the risk.
