Sorry, after 'speed' reading the recent postings, I am confused what is the final decision on this. Can someone please confirm?

Not \"cast in stone yet\". The P has yet to finalise the decision. Too many different perspective and input from parents. We will have to wait till Mid Dec to know. Unless today's 4pm meeting says otherwise.

[quote=\"S6169\"]came back from the meeting with P. S-banding may not be carried out because most of the top classes parents against it. so there will be normal 4 top classes(1-40, 41-80 and so on).

Thanks S6169 for info. Back to square one for class allocation? I quite like the proposed method actually. It's a good change. P2 parents were more receptive last Fri evening.

reason given by the parents:
1. friends will be separate.
2. one of the mummy gave an example: One Ds in Ch3 and one DS in Fa2. although Ch and Fa are only next door, but the student in these two classes are very different. one only talk about study and the other always talk about cartoons. So they can't be mixed.[/quote]we are back to sq 1....CH can't mix with FA, what excuse was that...parents are very demanding....i knew that it wouldn't be that smooth sailing in the implementation....

btw, NYPS did something similiar to PH's proposed system. their top 4 classes S-banded and the rest of the classes are similar to PH.

Rather Surprise A \"REASON\" Like that Can B Accepted .... :?

So Next Time in the Working Life, We Must Preserve the \"PURITY\" of our Class by Having ....
MBA Room - For those Who has Attain MBA Only ....
Engineer Room - For \"Pure\" Engineers Only (Cannot Mix with Arty- Farty Type) ....
etc ???? :lol: :lol:

Thought the Whole Idea of the Exercise is to \"MIX-and MATCH\", B Compassionate / Tolerant of People coming from Different Class / Ability and Recognise that EveryOne is Different ....
Guess its TOO HOLISTIC, and the POOR Kid Who Dare Not Say she's From Patience Class Will Just Have to Remain SO until she's Out OF PH ....

Only if my dd goes through that
if he continue his act and parents continue to complain, there will be more report to write .. so they will have no choice but intervene ultimately.

However, there is a caveat. He must be in the wrong
If it is our owwn dd/ds at fault, then that is a diff story.

Personally I still think it is a good method and should be implemented.
I foresee 2 possible scenario:
1. They delayed the upper primary and implemented it in lower primary since it sounds like the lower primary parents are more receptive.
2. They keep the existing setup for the top 4 class and implement the new system on the rest of the classes.

S-band will still take place across the whole level as i nthe current setup.
