in certain Primary schools that has affliation to good Secondary schools with high COP (cut off point), if a child is weak, parents can receive stressful calls from the school to buck up.

Ya, I was checking out a Maths Enrichment yesterday and the guy said, your kid is only with us for 2 hours a week hence as parents we should revise the worksheets/books which are brought home and that's when the course will be more successful

I guess that's why those primary schools will stress the parents..

hello Kissgurami,


your DD1 will pave the way ahead for your DD2. So 2013 should be less stressful for you.

Not really.. Hiaz I have been having mixed thoughts. Sch A is within 1-2km but not my choice of sch. Sch B is P2C but tendency for balloting since I am more than 2KM (but it is actually so much nearer to my place.)

So finally after major discussion, I will attempt balloting at P2C at Sch B , if ballot is successful, then total relief but if not, I will go to Sch A for P2CSupp.

Already submitted application for PV for DD2 for Sch B, pending for interview.

all the VERY, VERY best to your Sch B balloting for DD1, and passing the interview well for PV for your DD2.

I registered daughter in my former school with affiliation to sec...now praying very hard the COP doesn't increase too much (better still if don't increase ) when she reaches P6.
IJ St Nicholas has affiliation but has high COP, same goes for SJI(J) from what I just heard.

Hi Kissgurami

Just wonder, how come u do not want to try Rulang for the PV and choose sch B, I believe Rulang more nearer (within 2km), right? Although may not guaranteed a place for the PV.

Thanks

gsk[/quote]Rulang is not within 2km , Nanhua is actually nearer but at 4.11km and 2 mins drive from my office. I wasn't expecting to move to Jurong and didn't realise PV for Nan Hua closes so early..

Got it, got it, got the wrong impression, tot u leave near lakeside Pri. So u r not. U applying lakeside sch thru Phase 2A2 lah, misunderstood.

Yes, most primary schools with direct affliation into good Secondary schools are raising the bar gradually for COP (cut off point), in gentle incremental dosage over the years … to be fairer to those external students all over SG who are fighting /competing for entry into the same good Seconday school for one tiny spot.


these external students normally enter with minimum >=10 to 15 points higher than the privileged affliated primary school students.

on one hand it is good to enter a good primary school that has affliation.
on another, parents have to be on their toes watchful, to help their child.

really, being a parent these days is so stressful !
