      [quote=\"janet_lee88\"]If I am an old girl of certain school, I would want my daughter to attend that same school...why would I consider a school which I do not know. Of course, I will take into consideration the distance.


      So now you change your mind? Now you are all for alumni? I am not getting this.

      I will send my daughter back to my former school...but will NOT pay alumni fees.
      Anyway, my daughter is now studying in my alma mater...we registered under phase 2A2. No reason to pay alumni fee. Phase 2A2 is definitely good enough. My 8 year old daughter said she hopes she has a daughter in future, so that she can also go back to the same school.[/quote]Whether it is phase 2A1 or 2A2 is still alumni. It is up to individual whether want to pay more or not. At the end of the day still alumni. Period.

      Hear from your statement, you still favours alumni and you dun favours removing it.

        Yes laughing cat, I am all for the system of old boys/girls to stay. I don’t believe in paying fees to join alumni to get into phase 2A1 and be sleeping members. Phase 1 should stay…but kept strictly for Singaporeans. How many kids are there in most families now ? Not 3 or 4, or else govt won’t be so desperate to introduce measures for us to procreate.

          phtthp:
          abolish the phase 1 sibling scheme. There're far too many PR children inside the Phase 1 sibling scheme now. Every child just re-queue for their turn - whether SG born citizen or PR kid, when comes to P1 registration.


          retain the alumni. Most of the alumni's kids are SG born citizenship - those who studied in SG 30 years ago tend to be fellow Singaporean, \"ka ki lang\" - compared to more PR kids found inside phase 1 sibling scheme.

          IC in future also more strict, no more hanky panky loophole.
          IC should indicate if address is genuine residential or rental, and shifted in how long ago ? minimum must show at least 3 years stay, prior to P1 registration.

          if IC states that is a \"rented\" house, lower priority compared to genuine residential case - go behind and queue up.
          Let me guess, r u:

          1) Singaporean
          2) An old boy/ girl of a reputable school & is aiming to send your child there
          3) Currently owns a ppty

          You see, I find your suggestions totally ridiculous, especially the removal of sidlings priority. That to me is the ONLY priority that should be retained. The rest, I say review or withdraw.

          As for not allowing rental ppty, c'mon, do you know there r people who do not believe (or afford) in buying a ppty? Especially with the sky high price now. To tie the school admission to ownership of ppty is quite absurd. Actually, it's quite obvious you only have your self interest at heart.

                Exactly! Of all the phases since time immemorial, this is probably the only phase that did not chang much.

                =>phttph, can you see how ridiculous your suggestion is? To compensate for the 'lose' of vacancy from your phase 2A, you actually thought of poaching it from phase 1 by capping it. I bet if you have a child waiting to enter school via phase 1, you wouldn't suggest capping it...gosh, I'm still very upset how can you be so selfish as to think of such a stupid idea!

                  I feel phase 1 is the fairest of all the phases. Totally agree that it's going to be a logistical nightmare for most parents if it's really removed. 😓
                  This phase must stay!! 😄
                  Otherwise, new parents to be should perhaps consider just having 1 child then...?!

                      Phttph is one of the most helpful parents on this forum.
                      She is just throwing out ideas which is what we are doing too. Her idea may not be great but to call her the 2 'S' is unnecessary.Some suggestions thrown out in this thread may be fair to some but to others no it ain't.

                      So do listen to the mod's suggestion.
