Rulang Primary

[Champion]

The buyer took a 15 min look and then offered on the spot. Later on, found out that he wanted his kids to be able to walk to Rulang.

Sorry, I \"intrude\" here to kapoh kapoh ...

I am staying at Jurong West, 2 streets behind Jurong Point. Very frequent, I have people knocking on my doors (usually in the late evenings) asking,\"Excuse me, may I check do you have any intention to sell your house? Also, I want to ask is your house within 2 km from Rulang Primary School?\" Haha...when I told them that I am \"out of the 2 km\" radius, immediately a disappointment look on their face and they walked off without even say, thank you or Good-Bye! :lol:

I must admit that Rulang is a very hot sort-after primary school in our neighbourhood. Almost 8 out of 10 neighbours/friends that I spoke to - will want their kids to enroll into this school :boogie:

Rulang is such hot !? :yikes:
But not all parents can accept that kind of \"drilling\" and \"grilling\" ...

Yeah....Rulang is hot....at least around the west area.
My DD's previous school, every year, the top few will try to transfer to West Grove/Rulang. I know of one gal who first transferred to West Grove, 2 months later to Rulang.
I dunno, but seriously I do see some difference and despite feeling a bit xiong for my DD with all the drill & grill, overall I think it's a positive effect

On the spot? :scared:


Psst... they were given advance duration to prepare one or two i suppose..
Or issit really like spontaneous? Impromptu? There and then? :faint:

Yup, you heard me right. On the spot. Spontaneous. Impromptu. There and then. :nailbite:

DD not stress and not interested in practising. But I sure am. I don't blame her, after this whole 'SA1' dragging for weeks she is really sian already...

As a ks parent, I think I can understand what you're saying. For ds, PH decided to do away with exams for P1 & 2s. P1 to P2 is enbloc. No streaming. There'll only be one SA at the tail-end of P2 for purpose of streaming into P3. I know there's disquiet amongst some parents about not having exams; but for me, I'm delightfully happy that this is the case. :boogie:

So envy your honeymoon period!! :drool:

But hor...just a word of caution.. .from what I have been hearing in PH thread and also all the other inputs leading to the ongoing petition, you have to just keep tab that your DS will not be suddenly overwhelmed at during the P2 SA2.

markfch:

You know, after I read your post, I purposefully reminded ds that it doesn't matter whether or not he does well in exams. What is impt is the effort he puts in. DS is also a 'proud' kid (same as your dd). I don't want him get discouraged when he flunks an unreasonably difficult exam in future.

Must be hard on you to see your dd feeling so miserable despite the effort she put in. Something is wrong with our education system (that includes all the other popular schs, not just Rulang).

I also told DD that it is okay so long as she has done her best and she learns from her mistakes. But don't want to overdo it that she thinks it is ok to just give up if something is perceived to be impossible.. you know what I mean... ya boi, tough balance indeed...

Hi starlight1968sg,

Sounds like you are very satisfied with your DDs journey in Rulang. :boogie:
