2016 P1 Registration Exercise for 2017 In-Take

MummySS:
Haha, if I have a choice, I will definitely send my gal to a girls school in secondary. More people start to pak tor earlier in co Ed sec school which I'm not so keen about. If they are going to go gaga in JC or polytechnic, then so be it. Better than dating in sec school.Hi hi thank you very much for all your valuable inputs.. Much appreciated
I have a younger son who is 1 at the moment. They are 5 years apart..
So his turn is another 5 years from now I am ok to start the whole Registration again..
My daughter is keen of the girls school as she wants to join her her cousins who are currently there.
At her kiddy currently she is always in a group of girls, though she fools around a lot with
Her boy classmates..
I am just concerned she isn't a very fiesty girl and worry she might encounter some girl bullying .
And lately I hear parents saying girls school kids tend to be very arrogant and will have problem in future
Mixing with the boys during secondary school or they tend to get more excited seeing boys rather than co Ed school kids ...
Or maybe I am just thinking too much.
Hahahahaha KIASU ...
However I am new to the forum, I am unsure how to reply and answer to a particular thread
TIA
Anyway, it's sec school and still a long way to go.
As for bullying, it doesn't matter whether it's co Ed or girls school. Will still have. Just that in co Ed, the boys do more of the physical bullying and in girls school, you only get girl bullies. Girls bully in different ways from the boys. I think we can only teach our kids to defend themselves when it happens and not be the bully themselves. -
MummySS:
MummySS, your son is SG50 baby? Then I feel that you should choose a co-ed school. There were quite a lot of SG50 babies born....comparable to 2012 babies (dragon year). In case there's fierce competition 5 years later.Hi hi thank you very much for all your valuable inputs.. Much appreciated

why are parents so obsessed with putting their kids in a same gender school vs a co-Ed school? Do u think that your DD can be controlled in a girls' school n she won't paktor? Nowadays, youngsters have many opportunities to interact with the opposite gender. Why restrict? Won't it be better to guide her in her school days? Why don't parents fear that your DD may end up being a lesbian in a girls school. I think it's more worrisome than mixing with boys.
When I select a Primary school for my 2 kids, I am very determined to put them in a co-Ed school. I feel they will learn to handle both genders in their daily interaction. I don't have worries that they will end up pak-toring as many times, I share with them the importance of education n putting their priorities right.
I heard that some girls who came from a all girls school got wild when they entered a JC. Why? I suppose they didn't have much chance to mix around with boys so couldn't control their emotions when they entered a coed JC.
As for bullying, it's everywhere - regardless of co Ed or same gender school, elite or neighborhood schools. As a parent, we can't protect our kids forever. What we can do is to educate and guide them to protect themselves. They will learn along the way n become street smart n wiser.
JMHO! No offence intended.

1) girls from girls' schools seem more confident, less self-conscious and less inhibited with or without boys around
2) girls from girls' schools have this 'I am good' air and have better self-esteem
3) girls from girls' schools speak more eloquently and are more expressive
4) girls from girls' schools have more attractive personality
5) girls from girls' schools seem more 'high class'
6) I'd rather my daughter be a lesbian in her teen than get pregnant and has to stop schooling due to unwanted pregnancy
Just some thoughts about my own classmates who came from different girls' schools. Different but same same. -
A lesbian will be a lesbian for life n not just during teen years. Teenage pregnancies can be resolved but not feelings of a lesbian or gay.
I am not starting an argument on gays n lesbians. So let’s not go off topic. -
No off topic what? I listed my reasons why I would choose girls' schools over co-ed schools.
I think lesbianism in girls' schools are overhyped. One of my classmates asked me back,\"What's your definition of 'lesbian'? To me, a lesbian is someone who has a sexual relationship with the same sex but girls having crushes on other girls is not lesbianism.\"
I hold a different view from you in that I feel that teenage pregnancy can never be resolved satisfactorily while having crushes on same sex is usually a teenage phase which most girls grow out of.
On the contrary, all the lesbians I know come from co-ed schools rather than girls' schools and all the gays I know come from co-ed schools rather than boys' schools

If I replace \"girls\" in #1 to #5 to \"boys\", do you think they hold true too?

Haha, I don't have much experience with boys from boys' schools but from my superficial or biased observation, those from 'good' boys' schools eg. ACS do exude this air of quiet confidence while boys from the more 'average' schools like St Pats are not as 'conspicuous' in exuding that 'I am from a boys' school' kind of air. But I really have very limited interaction with boys from boys' schools so my observation can't be accurate.

Incidentally, it seems to me girls from girls' schools tend to be more balanced in their exposure of boys from co-ed and boys' schools, which could possibly explain why they are generally more confident when interacting with boys. Ah ... another plus point of being in girls' schools.
All these are my personal biased views and silly gut feel. Don't take me seriously. -

Even those who seems like lesbians in school all turned out fine. Anyway to each his own. If u like co ed schools, by all means do so. There's no need to criticise those who prefers girls school. Don't label those from girls school as desperate coz that isn't true. Probably that is what you like to think because of hearsay when you are not even in one. -
I was from a co-ed school before I was transferred to an all girls’ school.
the feeling of being in a single gender school is different…no secrets since there are no boys around. all the girly stuff as well.
