P1 registration is really just the beginning. Getting into the right school is important, but what comes after getting into the school is MUCH more important than getting into the school.

Chief, you have made a very clear point here! :goodpost: And this is the reason why we parents here at this forum to share & learn!

ChiefKiasu:

If you choose an elite school, it will almost be like YOU as the PARENT are also going into the school. The stress level on YOU to ensure your child \"performs\" is much higher. That is why elite schools retain their titles - because parents push their children to be one up against the rest of the cohort. You will definitely be drawn into the race because it will show in your child's results.

Most parents prefer their children to be more independent in their studies. But it is difficult to do so these days, because of the advanced training and help that many of the other children get from external sources, or from their parents' incessant coaching. Very few children are mature enough to know how to learn by themselves.

As a parent, you should now be focusing more on planning your strategy on how you would want your child to grow as he/she enters P1. How to achieve a balanced approach so that your child can continue to enjoy precious moments of childhood while still attaining the standards expected by the schools? That is a much more important question than getting your child into the school!

We see the anxiety level rising as we move on nearer to phase 2B and then 2C and then the 2C Supp. It is a very tough decision for many parents to decide,\" Which is the BEST school for the child? Which school is the BEST in my area? That BEST school is will definitely produce the BEST result for my kid?\" Well, all these boil down to Chief key point above,\"How to achieve a balanced approach so that your child can continue to enjoy precious moments of childhood while still attaining the standards expected by the schools? That is a much more important question than getting your child into the school!\"


I chanced upon this forum in year 2008 when like some parents fail in phase 2C and later move on to phase 2C supp (which the school till falls under some comment: seems this school is ALWAYS \"under the radar\" school in Jurong West area) \". Very encouraging from Chief when I shared about the school and I must say that my DD1 is enjoying school so much that I tell myself,\" Her happiness is the most important!\"

Just to share..


Neighbour school not necessary is a bad school... those elite school not necessary is top school.. *no offence*

A matter of fact.. SVPS.. was not a good neighbour school when dh was studied there.. in fact.. according to him... it was a 'Ah Beng' school.. :rotflmao:

It was only recent years, they have top scholars there.. that why it became popular and in other's opinion a 'good' school..

Who knows, maybe one of the days, your kids will be a scholar thus bring up the level of the school, and make it a popular and 'elite' school .. well.. combination effort from all isn't it..

Hi Castle House ,

Yes, I will register at SV first and monitor NH.

I do not know SV have top scholars until you mentioned. I am not actually aiming for top school, but a not so bad school that can meet up to PSLE standard. Correct me if I am wrong, my personal opinion that the kids scored very well in the school test, but unable to meet the PSLE standard, is no meaning to me.

Honestly, I dun need my boy to be a scholar, just want him to enjoy and work hard in school.. and don’t lag behind.
