Sorry to say , that long time ago your friend parents also queue up early for the primary one registrations. In olden days as what my mum told me was the earlier u go more chance of getting in. (Her parents did made an effort there queueing during her daughter - \" your friend\" times) :evil:


I find that it is your friend privilege as phase 2A1.

No, back then her time and my time, there's no need to queue. She can't and didn't even remember which school she went to to complete her PSLE

any suggestion ... how to make the new Education Minister and MOE to come to KSP site here, read all the comments ?


and to activate something to the current situation, before it worsen ?

Maybe Chief can start an online petition here to gartner the support of all Singaporeans to moot to our Singapore government and MOE the need to have a \"Singapore First' pro-Singaporean policy for P1 registration. When the online petitions gartnered enough signatures (say 20,000), then we will post it or email it to Mr Heng or even the PM.

For us, the P1 registration is over, with our kids in the school of our choice, but if we don't proactively do something to prevent this situation from worsen, then we are not helping our children's children...or our future generations. Let's do something now, however small our efforts may seem to be.

Gone are the days when anti-government sentiments are a taboo, I believe all Singaporeans are educated and matured enough to know that it's OK to have alternate views and opinions from the government, who has promised that they will listen to us MORE during the GE 2011.

let's spread the word and do something for our young ones. :celebrate:

After all we parents are already paying school fees. Pay school fees still do free work for school? Don't make sense, ya?

I wanted to continue volunteering in school but was told I have to pay a joining fee to continue as parent volunteer as my kids are already students in that school. I offered to work for free and yet I must pay to work for free

Hey, this is absurd! Totally unheard of.......giving free work and labour, still must pay $$??

BTW, my son still laughs when he recalls me washing sweet potatoes to get him into the school :mad:

Hi Janet,

You are one very noble mummy! :salute:

Tell your boy that next time maybe he may need to wash AND peel sweet potatoes to get his kids into the school of his choice too....then he will appreciate what mummy had done for him many years back. :love:

My wife told me that her mother went to queue up at her primary school before day break in order to secure a place for her.

Yes I've hard that too. Parents use to queue early back then to secure a place for their kids

I think old system better... Olden days ,our Parents queue up for their children educations as early as possible \"Very Kiasu\" on First-come-first-served basis. Fair enough to everyone . No need to say who did more hours and who did not ........Do PV and not selected or balloted out...wasted our time......

Like now youngsters queue up as early as 2 to 3 days in advance just to buy tickets for the concerts and just to see their idols . Now new generations. Really different thinking...
