Hey! All Kiasu mommies out there!


If you want a high-paying job, can do cooking, can do sewing, being a Home Econs teacher is not bad ^_^

Just suggesting. But home Econs is really those kind of auntie-also-can-teach type of subject XD

Grannies can also teach

Oy! You calling us aunties and ah ma arh? :spank:

Problem is MOE wants to see paper qualifications first. You have to go take hotel management course, baking course, cooking classes etc and show these certificates. :siam:

\"There is a need to change Singaporeans' perception of neighbourhood schools, said Education Minister Heng Swee Keat in Parliament on Thursday.

Mr Heng said that as schools are geographically sited in neighbourhoods, they naturally draw students who live nearby. 'We have to ensure (that there are) good schools in every neighbourhood, and not use the term 'neighbourhood school' as an apology. So we must collectively change perceptions and change mindsets,' he said....\"

So it's all in the mind thingy... :faint: :siam:

There'll be no end in the debate of the term 'good'....all I can say is that all schools are NOT EQUAL or the same!!!

I agreed!

Some school may have rich parent or association which can donate aka sponsor the school with lots of thing. Hence, the school will have more facility, teaching material etc etc. So how to be fair / equal? :roll:

Maybe it’s time for reality check. We have leaders mooing until the cows come home but they don’t have first hand knowledge of what we go through. Debate, discuss and diseminate with no real substance because they have not walked in our shoes.


Here’s the deal. Ballot and get some of our leaders to participate in either case study or better still, reality TV. Ballot since I doubt many would volunteer for this project.

If they have school going kids, get them transferred out to neighbourhood schools in all 4 corners of Singapore. Siblings can opt to attend same school. If they have younger ones, they join the rest in the P1 registration exercise. If they don’t have kids of school going age, get their grandchildren. We will follow them for 1 year. The kids can’t attend any enrichment outside school.

After that, they will share their experience. Sounds fun?
