Can anyone share with me experience with allied educators at Tanjong katong Primary School and Ngee Ann Primary? Are these schools supportive when dealing with children with special needs such as mild case of ADHD?

I think the the more appropriate question would be to ask if the child would be able to strive in that particular school environment. If the child is not overly disruptively active in normal class and can cope with adequate attention span, i think all teachers would be supportive. However, given that some schools are more academicaly focused, this child may be \"disadvantaged\" in that the teachers may not have the capacity to help him/her much due to just the sheer number of student in each class to mind. It all depends on how much the child can cope. I suggest you recce the school environment and compare to the child's ability before deciding which is the more appropriate school.

I have seen a child with severe ADHD in class and she went around every 5 mins screaming in class , hitting her classmates or just walking around the class the entire lesson. There is only one teacher in class with 35 kids. It is a tough challenge.

Quite surprised that Tao Nan has more supply than demand. Maybe more will apply today?

Definitely! I will be surprised if there is no balloting.

[Ran1977]

Heard Ngee Ann getting more popular than Tao Nan…any parent want to comment?

What is probability of ballotting then in Phase 2c of NAPS?
