qms:

....MOE believes that all schools are the same. Parents do not think so, though.

:goodpost:

maybe government, e.g. MP should start to send their kids to neighbourhood school to convince us that all schools are the same

Personally, I do believe that all government primary schools are good schools. They follow the same syllabus and teachers are from the same training institute and regulated by the same MOE.

But some schools are simply better than the others due to exceptional leadership & committments from the principal & teachers.

Well said... and it is precisely because of the leadership & commitments from the school which makes the school different.. and I must say, some very significantly different..

And therefore we kiasuparents flood them..

I am aware of different textbook, but schools can only use those endorsed by MOE
