friends do not like their child being constantly scrutinized at or compared to, in terms of their fellow peer school mates / classmates expecting their child to be amongst Top in the class, just because their mother is a school Teacher, in their school. They rather enrol their child somewhere else

I didn't think of this...but the principal would probably not allocate the parent to teach the same class as the kid.

Even though Principal did not allocate the mother to teach the same class as her child : however people will still sometimes gossip about their child in school, and gossip is what my friends want to avoid

[zac's mum]

I had one schoolmate whose mother was the discipline mistress. Most of us avoided being too friendly with her (scared she tell tales to her mother). The child herself was a regular girl with average results and behavior. Not top of the class nor prefect material. Even if she happened to be chosen as prefect, I’m sure somebody would be sour grapes and say nasty things. I think it’s a hard burden for a child to bear.

I think most schools do this and the teachers shouldn't even take the same level - since they may have to set some papers and also do some of the marking.

the mother teaching in the school may not teach her own child, or school bar her from setting school exam paper for her child's level, but may still be able to access school exam papers SA1 / SA2 for her child's level, kept inside the school cupboard staffroom : unless the subject HODs in her school make absolutely sure that she literally no access to exam papers, for her child's level

Just to check Phase 2A1 + 2A2 is not combined correct?

E.g. After 2A1 = 40 vacancies left, @ 2A2 80 subscribe for the 40 vacancies. This means only 2A2 requires balloting and those in 2A1 not affected correct?

Yes. The next phase will not affect the previous phase

Not just HPPS, a lot of other schools have a significant increase in 2A1 applicants.

It's a Dragon year, most parents are playing it safe. Since alumni has an opportunity of moving up a phase, why leave it to Phase 2A2 (especially if you are > 2km).

Temasek Pri Sch… Phase 2B will it be high chance balloting for this yr?? (staying > 2km).

NANYANG left 8 seats for 2A2 not 10.

whoever able to get into Nanyang primary last 8 left-over seats via 2A2 balloting this year : are really lucky !

pity this poor, lonely child, because she won't have many friends in school, because her mom being the strict Disciplinary Master (DM) in school, classmates won't dare to be-friend nor made fun of her daughter, in case she \"da xiao bao gao\" report, to her mom (DM)

so in a way it is also inconvenient to have the teachers' kids studying in the same school for the reason of access to exam papers. what if the subject HODs themselves have kids studying in the school?
