Hi Rivevae,
Like what SAHM Tan said, talking to the form teacher would be helpful? Would be good if you have the dr's report, so the teacher knows how and what she can do to help. Sometimes the teachers want to help but are not sure how best to.
For p1 and p2, there are only 30 students or less. Only at P3 do the class size increase up to 40.
At ds1's school, they had 20+ students only. I think there were only 24 or 26 at the start of P1 and only increased to 29 later on in the year when there were a couple of new students who transferred in.
So I guess if you want fewer students in the class, you cannot choose a red hot school with long waitlist. Those schools would definitely be full to the brim and will have 30 per class, once the no. falls below 30, they will offer the space to the next on the waitlist.
The other thing is, choose a school without exams for P1 and P2 so you can ease your boy into schooling. By p3, I guess he should be used to the system? I feel the current situation whereby my son has no formal tests in P1 and P2 helped him explore his interests more because he didn't need to prepare for tests and he was allowed more leeway and freedom in class to speak up and talk about things that were, erm, sometimes irrelevant to what the main topic is.
The teacher would be patient enough to listen to him and let him voice his opinion. There is no syllabus to rush or a fixed deadline to finish the topic by the test date, you see. So the teacher would not be that stressed.
Finally, in recent years, in most schools, I have seen many heads place their most patient, loving and kind teachers to be form teachers of P1 classes, because they know this is the 1st year in Pr school, and the kids need lots of guidance and moulding. So I think you should be able to find a school you like near where you live. No need to move in a hurry yet (unless you live in Sentosa Cove :). -
:thankyou: Thanks to those who have provided me with the great advice! Home school...thought this would impair his social skills/community living. He needs to value and appreciate differences/diversity around him.

do you live in jurong west? it's kind of far for most people
-
oh no…we are in the east…

haha, yup, too far. anyway there are many good schools in the east.
i think MOE website should have a list of schools that are single session already (these tend to be schools that are not red hot, i.e. not full to brim), and that has the PAL programme and that have already scrapped the exams for P1 and P2.
if you can't find, then someone here can help you search. -
