All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[janet88]

hquek,

Because there is this THING called PV, that's why it makes us parents more determined to try for it to get into that school of choice. Or else you and I will fall under 2C and very hard we are selected.

Like what other parents mentioned, there wasn't such a thing in the past. Now that we are more educated, we have expectations. If hubby was from a school which still existed, we would not have to be PV.

busy mummy:

i just cannot understand why need to PV. WHO START THIS SYSTEM

at least it gives outsider another chance to get their kids into that school - demonstrate your strong desire ....

MMM:

I heard from my mum that my auntie went to queue at 3am in order to get a place for my cousin in MBS. So those days were like.... first come first serve style

in certain places up north, the parents camp there as early as a few days

LOLMum:

i rather have pv, clan/church priority than having have to let my kid go for entrance exam/interview in order to get into a popular kindergarten or primary school like what is happening in hong kong.


parents there pay top money for the kids to attend entrance exam/interview preparation courses. all kinds of certificates (i remember reading about some1 submitting her kid's brushing teeth winning certificate as wel) are submitted and boy the stress is definitely greater than ours. sometimes the kid might score well in the entrance exams but if he has a few lesser certs than another kid, he might lose out.

and one of my staff actually moved house from Shatin to HK Island to get into that choice school........no diff from our kiasu people

You may like to find out more information from the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=462 thread. I believe you can find answers to your questions there.

For CHIJ (TP), to get into P2B, you need to be a church member.

BTW, you haven't reported at the Newbie thread yet, right? Perhaps you would like to report there so that we can give you a formal welcome? It's kinda SOP in KSP.com.

opps, yah, will go there in a while.


Btw… like to find out when does the PV for Rosyth open for 2007 born babies? Tks

Anybody can advise what should we do after finishing all the required hours? Should we for as a "certificate"? And when should this be done?
