2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

LOLMum:
would you be happy with the constant shifting of teachers and principals especially when your kid is sitting for psle?
Of cause not happy but for national interest, I will to support it. -
30plus:
Don't understand how this will turn our next gen to robots??
It's quite unbelievable you have such idea. What kind of next generation we are shaping? Robots? :roll:phtthp:
Yes, clone all primary schools in SG to follow Nanyang high standard.
all pupils sit for common exam qns, common tests.
everything all common.
then there won't be clamoring of anymore hot, popular school.
all these will become history. -
At this rate, why not adopt Hogwart’s system? Use the Sorting Hat to sort students into 4 different schools based on their characteristics (brave, cunning, smart, etc). The schools can be franchised across the country. No one can argue with the Sorting Hat’s decision.
If only it is this simple… but if you think about what we are achieving with genetic engineering, in future, our grandchildren can not just determine the sex of the baby they want, they may even be able to custom-design the characteristics of their child. Do they want super-smart kids, or super-athletes? Can this be done? Yes. It’s just a matter of time. When THAT happens, the Sorting Hat will just be a simple check on the genetic characteristics of the child based on his/her birth certificate.
But before that happens, no Sorting Hat exists that can satisfy all parents going through P1 registration. Think about it, the concept of franchising ALREADY exists in the form of the CHIJ or the ACS "franchises" of schools. Yet not all CHIJ or ACS schools are equal in the eyes of parents! Why? Because it still boils down to the efforts of individual principals, teachers and students in each school for the school to succeed.
And remember that MOE already serves as the "master franchiser" by dictating the quality of teachers, the curriculum taught, and the level of examinations set for all Primary schools. That already set the baseline for all schools.
Sorry. OT. I’m just trying to ease the tension here a little bit. -
i disagree. right now for someone who is from say RGPS. whose grandmother and mother has been in rgps. and if she wants her daughter in future to go to rgps she has to make sure she makes it to rgps for the P1 registration. So she and her parents has to stay near rgps or else even if she get a place in rgps she has to put up with long travelling time.
Our minister of education mr heng swee kiat mentioned yesterday the 1st criteria is proximity for P1 registration. But for someone whose grandfather is from acps, himself from acps and wants his son to go to acps and hopefully his son’s son to go to acps in future what option does he has? he got no option really. either stay near bt timah or put up with long travelling time for his son. Else he has to break the family tradition.
why should this be so?
why are we scaring ourselves that having a school that is running out of vacancy if it were to have another 1 branch located elsewhere for the convenience of parents and students then all hell will break loose? the teachers and principals who run acps when it founded in 1886 till today are all different and of different calibre but the standard of acps is still there and the appeal is still there. from 1886 till today acps has many students. they are defintely not clones of one another.
no matter what MOE says a school set up today cant be compared to one set up 100 yrs or more ago. Why keep opening new schools only to close them in 10 to 20 yrs but then not allow schools that have long tradition from having branches. Try it if it doesnt work then go back to status quo. What is there to lose?
for a small place like spore do we need 200 over primary schools or can we have say 100 schools but then each of them having 2 campus? -

Can register under Phase 2A(1) for P1 Registration. In case in future 2A(2) need to ballot. -
won’t be surprised if in future 2A(2) need to ballot.

I won't be surprised if this happens...some schools are facing high intake at 2A2 already. -
maybe 2A(2) not ballot.
but perhaps in future one day … combine with 2A(1), just form a simple 2(A).
and instead of being accused as ‘sleeping’ by some disgruntled people here, maybe everyone in 2(A) clock in some compulsory parent volunteering work contribution to the school … perhaps say, need to clock only 10 to 20 hrs (maximum), instead of 40 hrs. Normally there is a big group of 2A ex-alumni members coming back, if you check past statistics. So no need to clock 40 hrs so much.
if 2A ex-alumni members contribute back to the school by coming back as active parent volunteers for short hours (no more sleeping as been accused by some of you), then there is no need for P2B parent volunteers scheme anymore. P2B PVs will be abolished & scrapped. -

I suspect P2B will be scrapped one day...given the unhappiness of PVs who chalked in hours and get balloted out. But where would the religious clans fall under then ?but perhaps in future one day ... combine with 2A(1), just form a simple 2(A).
