The blogger didn't get many of her facts right!

:hi5: BigD

I know we can't possibly control what is written out there but I do so wish that we take full resposibility of what is posted here in KSP and make sure we do not mislead others.

1 agree 100%. there are times when 一变成二， 二变成三.

Like make a mountain out of a molehill

I do hope the authorities will provide all the facts and figures soon..

otherwise we are really seeing no end to this bashing and trashing..

if the figures supports the sentiments then a solution of some sort can be studied and implemented but

if the figures does not then all that can stop, go back to their normal lives and reassess their own standing.

Any parents do PV in 2 schools instead of one? Allow to do pv when kid is only 2 years old?

yes, there are parents who pv in 2 schools. 2 years old (a bit young) but would advise you to call up the choice school to check on availability and requirement asap. dont wait till the last minute. even if school said to call again when your kid is 4 years old, just call them again when she is 3 because things/circumstance/policies in school might have changed.

most schools will not allow as the term is usually from jul year before to jun of year of registration

but i did read about some schools allowing the duration to be > 1 yr. I think is NYPS, not sure though.

BigDevil:

But if you are going to PV for schools which require parents to work 80 (or more) hours instead of the standard 40, then you should submit your form the year your child turns 3.

This was what verykiasu2010 said when I asked about it in NYPS thread.
Will update if more parents confirm it.

verykiasu2010:

From what I know, the 80 hours can be fulfilled in one or two years, because the PV can start earlier - it can be earlier than the 12 months before Pri 1 registration.....I know someone started doing PV when the child is only 3 years young

Should parents only do PV in schools that are less than 2km from house?
