MOE Relooking P1 registration - Too much priority to alumni

[limlim]

IDad:

If you did not bother to read my posts, please refrain from quoting me and shaft words in my mouth! I'm definitely not the 1 who came out with points 1 & 2 above.

I suspect you have completely misunderstood what I'm saying in the post.

I'm saying, point 1 and 2 is the \"skewed reasoning\" that you might be \"referring to\", and Not that point 1 and 2 originated from you.

However, since you reacted so strongly against it, I apologise for quoting you.

I retract my wrong assumption.

esp. Ministers (current, ex, retired) who are alumni from Nanyang family, ACS Barker, ACS Junior, Rosyth, Henry Park, Catholic High, Nan Hua, Tao Nan, St Hilda, RGPS, SCGS, etc. or any Minister from SAP schools, Catholic family, Methodist family, Anglican family, Buddhist family, Hokkien Clan Huay Kuan related family, other religious group family, other family, etc.

What is the underlying message?

It would be nice to know what is the underlying message and what is it trying to imply.[/quote]Still wondering.

Given a choice, all parents would WANT the kid to be nearby (their school if choice is nearby).

Given a choice, NOT all parents would want the kids to be in the alumni school.

So, Distance shd be given priority over alumni since it is the \"fairest\".. What is fair? refer below question..

Ask yourself.. between 2 top-popular schools, one is alumni and far far away, and one is nearby at the doorstep, which one would you choose?

Answer this question to your conscience, and it is clear which criteria shd be given higher priority.

How far is far?

From what I know, the nearest GEP school is still quite a distance from Woodlands. I really wonder how many will give up the chance to switch school if selected.

How many percentage of Primary school children go GEP? :skeptical:

We are discussing about P1 registration system which affects the whole cohort, if not at least for the 100+ schools that needed to ballot and resulted in many having had to turn to further away schools from their home last year. :skeptical:

topic is about priority for P1 registration.


P1 boh simi sai GEP.

Sorry did not make myself clear earlier.

My point is that if u r an alumni of a top-popular school, I seriously doubt that distance will be a concern, just like people have no qualms about switching to GEP schools even though it could be very far away from home.

OK, I can't speak for all but I believe there's a good % of parents who donch mind the distance.

Gee, I thought the underlying message is quite clear. We hope such \"powerful alumni\" will stand up and \"fight\" for the phase 2A to be retained. So that we can ride on their coat-tails as well. How about that?

Now we know it may not be too wrong to deduce that there are indeed many many >2km registration within Phase 2A.
