MOE Relooking P1 registration - Too much priority to alumni

[IDad]

nlimm:

If u think 1 step into it, alot of phase1 kids gotten their places due to phase 1,2A&2B right? Moe shd just don't do any change but look into those who make use of grandparents/relatives address /rental to get within 1km but again difficult to track

Honestly, I also think change will not necessary bring about a fairer system. The current system has evolved due to the changing needs of society. Eg, the use of grandparent's and relative's address. Its for working parents who need the grandparents to care for the child. But I agree its been abused by some black sheeps. But in general, we shouldn't eliminate and sacrifice a good policy just because there were some black sheeps who abuse the system or loopholes. In every society, there will be such black sheeps...whether western or eastern society.

And I have said before, we also shouldnt penalise people who rent.....there are people out there who really do not buy ppty now (disclaimer: I'm not one of those but I know of many friends who did that...and i did it coz they needed the to cash out to pay medical bills).

I personally prefer announcement made wef 2014 - no more connection, pv etc. If have siblings currently in school, ok get priority. If no, everyone go for a great grand tombola.

It to remove all connections even phase 1 shd be remOved & combine all phase 1,2A,2B &2C together. Why shd phase 1 retained if you mentioned to remove all connections? As discussed earlier, even though siblings but in diff sessions( though quite a nos of schs are 1 session but not all) .

I felt that Ph1 should stay for practical reasons - so that parents don't have to fetch one kid to changi and another one to tuas. For selfish reasons I should say no because I only have 1 kid. Didn't you also suggested Ph1 should stay?

phttph, you sure have lots of `creative ideas' to ensure you are not disadvantaged or disadvantaged less at phase 2A...

I sometimes wonder what kind of values are we imparting to our children...what with all the selfish suggestions just to gain an upper hand but blinded from common sense and logic :frustrated:

Hey iDad,

On account of your apology earlier on regarding personal attack on phttph I had not responded to your earlier posts. But then here you are at it again. :mad:

By now we have already gathered why you have been so emotional about this thread. You too have a golden piglet like us going for 2014 registration.
Since your DS1 already in primary school, a lot at stack for you, very important the siblings priority to get into the same school. Logistics and all!

Furthermore, you believe in renting and using this advantage to the fullest, which some of us may not agree!

Likewise there is a lot at stake for phtthp too! This topic very dear to her heart! Her alma matar alumni school is very precious to her because long ago, her mother queue up OVERNIGHT for her to get into this school! Yes, in those days and age, a mother's love for her child made her did that. So now she wanted very much to pass on this precious alumni legacy to her child.

So please do not ridicule or pass remarks like \"selfish\" and such here. Pot calling the kettle black. A lot at stake for you too, Bro!

All of us affected (ie. with pre-schoolers) pretty emotional here.

I hope those who are in real authority ie. MOE take note and consider all views posted here. Granted those affected will not be happy but . Did somebody just post that he/she will know what action to take 4 years later? :nunchuk:

my elder son is already in P1, he is not registering this year. Thus I suggested apply the new policy for parents whose child was born in 2008 as those parents using priority schemes unlikely to have started their actions right now. 1 group I forsee who might have taken action would be those who has bought an apt and due to the 4 yr SSD ruling, would not be able to sell their ppty and re-strategise. But I have 1 suggestion and that is to rent out the said ppty and rent 1 nearer to your school of choice

Heh! :yikes: This is not encourage right. If kena caught, MOE has the right to remove the child from the school leh. How can you anyhow give such \"advice\". :scared:

Orrrrgggg.......are you also one of the black sheep? Tsk tsk tsk :pokeeye: :spank:
