Corporation Primary

[Champion]

For my DD1 who is P3 this year, streaming started end of last year, P2.


But somehow the top 80s, marks are so close and so this year the top 2 classes in the P3 are a mixture of the top 80s from P2 last year!

But it matters not which class the child is in - important is that she learns to the best of her capability and the teachers are dedicated to guide

kabalevsky, thanks for the detailed information. I like the idea of group learning which let the kids teach each other. If the kid can make his/her friend understand correctly, he/she himself/herself sure can benefit from that.


But personally i don't like the idea for streaming at this young age, even at higher level, it creates unnecessary pressure to the young kids and parents, also not good for building the self-confidence for the kids. I was so upset to hear my colleague to call her child's teacher to fight for the one mark because it might be \"so important\" for the kid's future.

But we have no choice, this is the system set up by MOE. Really hope they can look into this and revamp with some open-minded ideas.

l like your 1st para. super like. :goodpost:

Yup, we are in the system... Unless we move to other countries, I think we just have to make do what we can. Be happy as best as we can be in this system and see how to make it work for us.

On our part we try and let our kids be more all-rounded and not let them view each mark so seriously. If they are careless, that's different, we guide them, show them how to be careful. There are many other values and virtues we can inculcate in them, which will make them more balanced and then we'd trump the system instead of being controlled by it. yah?

In the JW school thread, someone commented that having a strong parent support group and good community of parents guiding the kids, the pr sch will benefit a lot. The image and quality of students in the school will improve. I agreed with what that person said.

So let us band together, as parents, we can do a lot... Here's to our children's bright and happy future!

Hi! Welcome to KSP!

Are you registering for next Thurs Phase 2CS?

If that the case, then probably you can consider schools that offer Tamil:-

1) Boon Lay Garden Primary - Balance 115 vacancy

2) Pioneer Primary - Balance 84 vacancy

hi! :welcome:

How old is your child now?

The schools champs listed are nearest to CPS and offer Tamil. They usually don't undergo balloting within 1km so even if you are more than 1km from them, it should be fine.

If you still have time, you can find out more about Parent Volunteering at other schools too, I believe most other schools in Jurong West offer Tamil. Only Juying, CPS and Frontier don't.

Correct me if I'm wrong champs or LKVm.

I read your post on Frontier Primary.....some useful insights. Now, you may treat me as the most Kiasu/kiasu-est here. My kid is less than a year old


I just completed reading the 60 odd pages on this thread ....sitting whole evening :imcool:

Hi,


I am one of those unlucky parents who can’t ballot into Frontier. Have been feeling so down for the past week and decided to go for Corporation after reading the forum thread.

Today is the judgement day and hopefully don’t have to ballot again.

Currently there are 20 vacancies left.

Keeping my fingers crossed now.
