MOE Relooking P1 registration - Too much priority to alumni

[limlim]

Lyddon:

If it's because their school has closed and he has lost his alma mater... I am sorry that his contributions has come to naught.

for the alumni who couldn't get in bcoz the policy changed and alumni has reduced priority.. it is \"sorry that his contributions has come to naught\"..

sorrie ar.. bad english....

A) By distance -> Bad impact on demographics.. more rich students..

B) By alumni -> Bad impact on demographics.. more rich students..

I choose A as the lesser evil.. as there is tangible benefits to community ..

[LOLMum]

Yes, naught as well.

It's like if a girl has a boyfriend for 6 years now. They have gone thru thick and thin together and they shared love, hopes of marriage + children. However, one fine day boyfriend decides marriage and children is not what he wants. He says the girl still holds a special place in his heart and does not mind continue the relationship but adds he would also like to get to know more \"friends\" (particularly within 2km from his work/home ;))

Well, all has come to naught for the girl.she can decide to maintain the relationship under the new terms or move on in hopes of meeting another guy that may share her hopes and dreams. Even if she finds another guy, she will always be wary of putting too much commitment into the new relationship.

An alumni who is adversely affected any policy changes of p1 registration is likely to feel similar.


Persons who will become alumni will also reconsider their current / future commitments.

Yes couldn't agree more. The boy and girl in the story are two individual and have 100% autonomy over whatever they want to do. They are not answerable to anyone. If only primary schools in Singapore are privately owned and had not taken a single cent of subsidy from tax payers's money, the policy of school enrollment will need to somehow ensure that no groups are distinctively disadvantaged or no particular groups are allowed to enjoy priviledge over and above a reasonable extent.

Likewise, this group that are disadvantaged may also be wary of putting too much commitment into....... :censored:

Note that I did not mention there are 100 families or 100 children planning to enrol. The demand across the whole of singapore is anybody's guess. I also mention the only priority is based on distance. No phase 1, 2A, and 2B.

You already say for simplicity of illustration mah.. no need too hardcore on the exact numbers...... :evil: :evil:

[laughingcat]

Aiyah no point arguing lah coz everyone has agenda esp those who are registering kids for the next 2 years. To see far as in social divides, later then say lor. The way i see it is like what some kids are already saying \"my school got more rich people than yours\". Take the example of SCGS, only 3 HDB flats within 2km as what pointed out earlier by another forumer.


Not surprise we are going to divide schools as \"rich-parent-child school\" vs \"poor-parent-child school\". :rotflmao:

So start looking at properties.....you know where to invest. :evil:

*phew* thank god my ist born is already in school. boy or girl also can go in.

I think there is nothing wrong with giving priority to alumni. I am not link to any alumni so my children do not have priority but if I would love my children to attend the same school as I did decades ago.


My hope is for the revamp to give citizens priority, ie

1 - siblings of citizens
2A - citizens who are alumni
2B - citizen parents who are members of churches, huay kwans and grassroots
2C - citizens
3 - PRs and foreigners with siblings in schools (cos PRs are foreigners)
4A - PRs & Foreigners who are alumni
4B - PRs & Foreigners who are members of churches, huay kwans and grassroots
4C - PRs & Foreigners

I also hope that if non-Christian who chose to enter Christian schools, to show some respect. My son told me during his school camp last year, a boy wrote a 4-letter word beginning with F on God. When my son asked, he said because he is not Catholic and he doesn’t like Christianity and the Catholic faith. Then why go to the school?
