I hope parents here don't mind my saying my 5 cents share here. I agree sleep and rest is important and it seems to be top on the mind of parents here. Then why not enrol in a school near home? Sometimes, you can't have the cake and eat it too.


I put my girl on the bus because I am a working mum. I am also one who whine when my girl is dropped off 5 minutes later. But if you think about it, do you think the driver not want to start his day later and end earlier too? Everyone is just trying to make a living in an expensive city we live in.

I like yr post too. :goodpost:

Why dun parents enrol their kids in a school near home? :?

agree, after all raffles is just a government school like any other

Hi Moonee, Tania, ER,

I totally agree with all of you that if given a choice, putting your child in a school near by is the right choice, that is why MOE have the 1,2 km thing for P1 registration.

My girl was from a neighbourhood school, we used to walk to school everyday, then MOE says that she is special and the nearest special school is RGPS. So now i am stuck in this position, else my girl used to wake up 6.50am and is the first few to arrive in her school.

But the giss of the matter is that sch bus transport here sucks big time, why so many parents, who are not well to do enough to drive, and send our kids have to suffer from lousy services.

If the students are working adults and if the school is a corporate/company, they will arrvie only 5,10 minutes before office/school hour starts.

Just because students/ children don’t complaint, their timing is shifted to ridiculous hours and timing

ooioo,

Do you mind telling us where exactly you stay?

Totally empathise with parents of morning session here. My daughter just transited to the morning session this year (in P3) and has to get up by 5.30am to board the bus at 6.10am. Nonetheless, she has taken it in her stride and is very positive about it.


I’m actually writing to ask if any parent in the Eastern/Central area may be interested in sharing a return cab home on Friday afternoons, when my daughter only gets dismissed at 2.30pm. Otherwise, she ends up having to wait for 2 hours for the 4.30pm CCA bus to bring her home. We live near the Stadium. Please do message me. Thanks!!!

The weekend is finally here for me so I can chat a bit.


Sympathise with parents and children who live far from school. We used to live near ang mo kio and had to rush my dd to school through traffic. We are now closer but as I wake up at 5.30, I know how sian it is especially when one is not naturally a morning person. There is definitely wisdom in choosing a school near home if one can help it.
