Actually neighbourhood schools have their own advantages. I have a colleague who have 2 children, a boy and a girl. As she was from MGS, her daughter got into MGS under the alumni category. Unfortunately MGS is a girls school so her son have to look for another school. Her hubby is from Malaysia, so not an old boy to any of the Singapore school.


She enrolled her son in a neighbourhood school in Ang Mo Kio area. Her son was streamed into a good class and became one of the top students in the school. He was a school Prefect as he behaved better than the other neighbourhood kids and enjoyed school. His daughter on the other hand had to compete with all the other rich kids in MGS and was just an average student.

I find this blog also describe the advantages of neighbourhood school quite well.

Related to this is a discussion on the topic \"Branded vs Neighbourhood schools\" tomorrow at 8pm on Channel News Asia. It might be interesting for some to weigh in on what's being shared. http://blogtv.channelnewsasia.com/default.aspx
