      If PSG is for parents whose children are in the sch already, then why they include this in PV requirements? :?

      To prepare parents that their \"road to volunteering\" doesn't end with the successful application of their children into the school.

      Very often, parents who volunteered just to qualify their children in P2B stopped contributing once their children managed to get into the school.

        But what can the school do if those ex-PVs do stop volunteering?
        Kick their kids out of school?? :scared:

          Cannot do anything. That's why the school is relying on \"gentlemen's agreement\" here by indicating upfront its expectations of the parents, hoping that parents will set a good example to show their children their commitment.

              I don't think the school will be so callous as to expel the kid just because his or her parents don't fulfill the second half of the deal. :scratchhead:

                have you buzz the networking thread and check with the other parents whose kids are in that primary school?
