I'm not sure what's the purpose of your post, but I don't want to double guess you.

So, just like to reply that like most parents at KSP, we at PH just wish to do our best for our child(ren). In that sense, while we certainly wish that past year graduates continue to do well in their studies, it really is inconsequential (as far as our philosophy regarding our children upbringing is concerned) if there is one T - or even if there're many Ts - who's not impressed with some PH ex-students.

So to answer your qn whether the 'stress' is worth it, while PH can certainly be stressful academically, personally I don't see it as being worth it or not. I just continue to do what I think is best for my kid.

I think the more pertinent issue here is, for those weaknesses that your friend spotted in those students (who didn't impressed), was your friend able to help those kids realise their areas for improvement and help them become better students?

:goodpost:

My girl loves her school and enjoys learning in PH. That is what matters most to me. Reasonable degree of stress spurs her on. Besides the stress, there is fun element in the process of learning.

With due respect to most teachers, I am more concern with how educators can focus on motivating the kids to improve their abilities and be better students.

Scary:

If my boy can get into PH, think the teachers will have a headache. He is very talkative till I want to scotch-tape his mouth. He has been asking a lot of questions in his pre-school and he is definitely not the \"normal\" PH student.


I think a kid will only ask a lot if he/she is keen and the teacher can arouse their interest in a topic. Isn't this the same for an adult?

Do you have priority in registration? In the past, of all the so-called 'popular' schs, it was still relatively easy to enrol into either PH & RGPS. Just make sure you're staying within 1km of sch.

Then came last yr's debacle. I think for the first time in many yrs, there was balloting within 1km for P2C for both schs. Some of my friends were caught out, having shifted house but got balloted out in the end.

The only consolidation is that the nearby BTPS is a very good sch too (think all subj above nat. ave for PSLE 2010). So backup plan is still better - at least academically - then some of the neigbhourhood schs.
