phtthp:
The ST reporter definitely asked the WRONG person...my son is already in P5 !!! The day I washed 6 cartons of sweet potatoes with 2 other mummies for 5 hours are over...hahaha. The reporter should ask PVs wannabe what they are willing to do as PV in the name of love.the ST reporter got hold of you, wrong person.
your girl already in P2 now.
reply this ST reporter - she should be interviewing eager parent volunteers instead, who are trying to enrol their kid very hard into hot schools next year !
Direct this ST reporter to go and interview ZT and Nanyang P instead.
definitely create headlines report, like hot cake ! -
Hopefully this can work.
The best abolished 2A, 2B. Wonder which schools will be the 1st history to conduct balloting in 2A, Aitong or Cathigh? And then say goodbye to phase 2B and 2C, no balloting conduct even for 1km. -
MumandMe:
a) Loads of PR's rent properties. Not everyone owns properties in Singapore. How you going to stop PR's from renting?I agree with you wholeheartedly! :rahrah:
1. PRs competing a place for popular schools is a contrbuting factor, but their impact is way-over estimated.
2. Re-look P2B: It is basically institutionalising favouritism shown to a particular group.
3. Loophole in using rental address or changing one's address to that of a relative's/friend's: Loophole needs to be addressed.
4. Why there are so many schools balloting this year? Misallocation of resources and poor planning at the MOE!
b) Once again with property prices sky rocket high lots of younger families may even resort to renting down the road. So we going take their right away here as well for renting within 1km?
c) The churchs and clans go back decades. The schools were built on their beliefs and traditions. And you seriously think you can get rid of Phase 2B? There are 1000's of kids who graduated from missionary schools and clan related schools over the years. And you really think they will let you take Phase 2B away? Youre dreaming!
d) The balloting across 89 schools can also be related to the number of new developments that we have build in the last 1-3 years. you will see where the correlation is. singapore is a small place. we are building all over the place.
There are a number of factors that are at play on the balloting numbers. MOE will need to analyse the current year and fine tune for next year. Lets not jump to conclusions here. I know alot of parents are stressed out over the balloting. I say let the ministry to do its analysis first.
Just my two cents worth.

GSK:
Probably NYPS because its intake is now 390 - the highest among all primary schools. Naturally it will have the most number of alumni in the next generation.Hopefully this can work.

is it really true that PR kids are better than local kids when it comes to studies? :scared:
I'm not the first one who suggested that.. :evil: :evil:MumandMe:
Parents, why is there an inherent assumption that the children of PRs will perform better than our own children?
but anyway, I did highlight \"IF\" the PR is really \"talented\".... as someone posted the concern that PRs in neighbor school might trounce premiere schools containing majority of citizens via priority admission..
So I'm saying, IF this really turns out to be the case, it is not a bad thing afterall.
And IF this is NOT the case, then, no concerns at all.. priority for citizens!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: -

1. If the PRs rent, then they have no priority ie they can't apply under within 1km.

2. For p2b, if it can't be removed, one solution can be to fixed the number of applicants allowed under this phase to be limited a certain number.

Those who have graduated from the school will go under P2A right? Who's dreaming? -

2.

So does that also mean we limit the number of people going to churches and temples too? You are not solving the issue here you are just kicking the can down the road. There are traditions that you and me and moe cant change. Remember the churches and clans have a strong following. Youre dreaming if you think you can change it.

Benten,
You said "There are 1000’s of kids who graduated from missionary schools and clan related schools over the years. And you really think they will let you take Phase 2B away? Youre dreaming!"
Those who have graduated from the school will go under P2A right? Who’s dreaming?
You said "So you proposing that we limit the number of people in P2B. So does that also mean we limit the number of people going to churches and temples too? "
Stop putting words into my writings. Moreover, not everyone who goes to church/temples/clans goes there to get a go at being able to register at p2B.
