I saw the disappointment in her when her friends in the neighborhood asked her where she will be going. She asked my wife why we did not put her in RGPS where her chance of getting in was so much higher.

Just have to make the best out of Phase 3 bah... 1st-come-1st-serve...
Would the child know the difference between a popular and no-so-popular sch?
I think it's more on the adults bah...

Hi noixlml,

Yours truly here is also fleshy...hahaha, definitely not yummy mummy.
The hall is hot ? No air con ? Speaking of air con, my daughter asked me if there is air con in the school bcos we brought her along for registration and the doors were open. I told her there is no air con in the classrooms...son added on, 'sorry, no air con in primary school.'

Yes, my DD is aware of the popular schools her friends go to, except those expats or SPRs who go to international schools. She can tell the difference between SAP and govt aided, co-ed or boy/girl, mainstream vs GEP.


Told her that she can still get to go into one if she does well on her own merit.

No offence. I feel that she is conscious about it because the parents have been \"educating\" her on the different type/ std of schools. So she will feel \"worse off\" if she don't make it to a good one per her impression.

I heard the same with another friend. They have been telling their child how great a school is and they want to put him there. But it don't seem achievable now as trying for that school is too risky and low chance. So he feel \"worst off\" though the other backup choices are top 20 schools in Spore. It's all about their perception that sometimes we parents are guilty of communication to our young ones.
