Hi if according to the kiasuparents map, my block is \"partially\" within 1km of a school, does it apply to the entire block? or certain units only? sorry if it sounds like silly qn. :oops:

Please go to OneMap and use the School Query function. It will show you schools that are within 1 km and 1-2 km of your house. -
If remove all the priveleges/priorities in P1 registration, but introduce P1 enrollment test for each primary school, and base on kid’s test result to decide whether can enter concern primary school, it looks more fair…

it favours the rich too for entrance tests.
those who are rich and have the time could afford the best tuition/enrichments.
besides sitting for entrance tests, dont be surprised if schools ask for awards/certificates of compeition/contests etc the child has participated in.
so who has the time and money to spend on compeitiont/contest? again the rich.
who is the one who is going to suffer? the poor child! she at a very young age (6 months music class) who has to attend all sorts of tuition/enrichments/compeition/contests etc just to build up a portfolio in order to get into a school and she might lose out to a another child who happens to have one more certificate for winning a teeth brushing compeition. :siao: (for your info, this happened in hong kong a few years ago which was reported in papers about exam fever in schools in hk).
it is bad enough that students have such heavy workload in primary school, why do we parents still want to rob them of their 6 years of childhood. -

even w/o prs, scs within same distance oso compete each other, for those popular schools, the property around are expensive and only rich can afford...it favours the rich too for entrance tests.

the rich can afford, so the poor in order not to be left behind would do anything to catch up.
so who suffers? the child of both the rich and poor. -
Dun want entrance exam lah… then PR can fight with SC again? I like it now that SC got privilege… It’s ok to ballot with a fellow SC and lose fair and square. Well, at least $$ can help if the address is so important. MOE didn’t say you cannot rent.
Still better than not having any privileges and fighting with everyone at an exam. Eh… PRs are also very kiasu and some are more Tiger mum than us… -

i guess now more prs will chiong to apply to become scs, in the end still the same fight... we have to compete within more scs whole life as once the prs become scs, they will stay here forever as they dont have other place to go...Dun want entrance exam lah... then PR can fight with SC again?
