Scary:
The other alternative is to take 157, much quicker.
I think RI is not that far compared to some good schools in the east for those staying near PH. Bus service 52 in front of PH goes all the way to Bishan, though I think need to change near MacRitchie for RI. It's pretty fast as it uses PIE. My DH stayed in Bukit Batok previously went to a school in the east. I always told him he was silly to choose a school so far.notabox:
Just wondering, is distance no longer a consideration when choosing Sec sch? Since most here stayed near PH, isn't RI a bit far for your kids?
Where can I find listing of Sec schools by area?
Ds leaves home about 6:15, takes a bus from Upp Bukit Timah then catch 157. Usually reaches RI b4 7am. Heard it jams up pretty bad at Dunearn Road to HCI. I think though Bishan sounds far, there is not much difference travelling to HCI or RI. -
Me too! So you must be either a church member, PV or GRL? Yes
Did you have to go thru' the exciting balloting process (like I did)? Yes, cos me stay > 2km Thanks God my ger managed to enter PH. But 1 of my fren's ds failed to get in (2B), felt sad to her 
[/quote][/quote]
The competition at P2B balloting is really stiff. It's really by the grace of the Lord that my DD was picked. So were you there that day to witness the balloting? It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience
[/quote]
Yes, I and my wife are there to witness the balloting, ya it is really stiff. Heavy raining after the balloting end and the school helper made INITIATIVE lend me the umbrella for me to collect my car at the car park, so touching. From here I may felt that this school is a \"ε ζ»‘η±εΏηε¦ζ ‘\". AgainοΌThanks God my dd can get in such beautiful school. -

Wow, your ds is in RI. Did he get in by the sec 1 posting excercise or DSA? So smart.

Hmm...any \"recipe\" like Funx3 to share? You know, I have all boys...a recipe to RI than a recipe to RGS will work better for me
But still want the transformation recipe nonetheless! :drool: waiting patiently for pm...

Our approach is different from Funx3. Her daughter is conscientious and smart and hence she can take it easy :imcool: . It was different for my boys. They did not \"wakeup\" until late P5 or even P6. No talent and hence no DSA. Just sheer hard work for the boys and :rahrah: and :hugs: and :spank: from the parents

You read all the pages? That's impossible. Just joking.
Welcome!!Dad of 2 dds:
Yes... burned up my whole Friday nite, Sat + Sun to read through until my eye blur blur......
You managed to read all the pages ? That's admirable.
Welcome aboard. This thread is in desperate need of some daddies.

For those kids still in lower pri, by 2015 the new MRT line will be ready.The other alternative is to take 157, much quicker.

So it won't matter so much the jams along BT road.Joyfulhands:
It's only exciting retrospectively; and the outcome must be successful.

If it's not, don't think you'll consider it exciting at all. :gloomy:notabox:
Aiyoh notabox, if your dh is kiasu like me, I think your dss will go crazy.Welcome! Wish my dh can be as bothered. Is there a L..F club he can join?
The heavens made sure our spouses are the polar opposite of us for a reason, which is to allow our kids some breathing space. Not saying that you're as kiasu as me. Of course I admit I'm more kiasu than you lah. :oops: -

Bocmark,
Yes, is not that time consuming actually to travel to Bishan from our place. I prefer svc 52 as it's really fast unless there's a jam along PIE. I am crazy at times to take it to Shunfu to buy my favourite muffins.
I also :rahrah: and :hugs: and :spank: my DS. I hope he will \"wake up\" in P5 or earlier. Some boys never \"wake up\" even when they are a grown up. Unsure if your know what I mean, but I sincerely hope my DS will not be like this. -
Dad of 2 dds,
:welcome:
A pity that you only join us now. If earlier, you could have joined us for the BBQ held last Sat. -

How? Learning attitude getting fr bad to worse.. Sloppy jobs done... Can't be bothered attitude.. All these started since he started P3.. :faint:

Btw, can check with you parents hor..if your kid came home and said something vulgar out of the blue and had no idea wat that phrase means cos he heard another older kid in sch used tat word a couple of times loudly in the cafeteria...what would u do?
Problem with local schs is lack of student supervision during break time.. Got bullying and using of abusive language also nobody knows... :slapshead: -

I think P3 & P5 is a big leap in terms of expectation (AM session) and work load. Some feel it more keenly than others. My boys will come back with \"Er... I think there is no hw\" but when I say \"r u sure?\" then they'll say \"er... but let me call someone to confirm\" or \"I think I lost my XX book\". Perhaps that is their way of escape or not coping.
It got tougher when P5s have to stay back twice a week for supp classes. You could see their dejected looks. Then came bad results. That was when we asked them which sec school they want to see themselves in and we will work with them to achieve that dream. We also told them that parents cannot make that dream school happen for them, unlike buying a toy. They've got to want to work hard. So, the choice was theirs. In our case, until they were willing to take ownership of their studies, it was just an uphill task to get them to work hard.
Take heart, your ds still has time to \"fall down\" and \"wake up\". Don't be afraid to let them falter, they will turn up a stronger young boy/man after that.
