Was helping out with the p3 performance months back and realized that class teacher and assistants were so rude to students. They are just plain nasty n definitely lack of patience. This makes me consider if I should send my kId to this sch

:? Actually all schools have nasty teachers, not just kc. For some reasons which i can't really pinpoint, many students start experiencing nasty teachers from P3 onwards. I felt my older kids got their worst teachers at P3. But to be fair, most of their teachers were pretty ok. I quite like my kids' current form teachers at kc.

At P3, it's like honeymoon is over. Welcome to the world of SA1s and SA2s and more drills, more rigours and more academic emphasis. And say bye to the many learning journeys they had at P1 and P2, it's down to a few only.

But one thing i always tell my kids, no matter which teachers they get, the teachers have the authority over them and still have to be respected. As long as the teachers do not cross moral boundaries, the students have to learn to obey them. This is training in life skills.

Anyway, as parents, more than often we have come across situations when we have to raise our voices at our kids just to get the point across to them, haven't we?

it's my pleasure. where are you staying? Outside 1km? If you are within 1km, you are quite safe.

Hi zeemimi,


I'm within 1-2km so balloting is inevitable.

To be frank, I'm actually not a risk taker. So even though KCPPS is my first choice and I'm going for it, if chances are slim, I may ultimately change my mind and opt for an alternative school. But I hope I will not have to do so. Wish me luck!

all the best to you. with the recent change in registration where SG has priority over PR, it may be favourable for you. i know of quite a few PR who got in KCPPS last year. Had it been one year later, they stand little chance.

yipee:

Is it true that average PSLE results for KCPPS for the TOP 2 classes is 240 -250 only? That's what a friend told me.

I saw your message on the PSLE results for KCPPS. I don't think the TOP 2 classes result is about 240-250 only. Recently my kid told me that she saw students coming back to visit the teachers and they were wearing Raffles Girls, Catholic, St. Nic, Cedar, SCGS uniform. I think you need to score well to get into these schools since they are not the affiliated school.

Hi zeemimi,


Thanks, you are right! SC stand very good chance in this year registration. In fact, all SC were successfully enrolled into Kcpps!

Congratulations to all! :rahrah:

Cuts out all the stress. Judging fr the number of foreigners my kids hv as friends, I was right they will hv a harder time at 2c this year. But PRs will try to beat this in future by getting in at2B. Kcpps always has more than enough places at 2B. Even more so because they will certainly hv no chance at AT or CHS.
But I was a bit surprised at the number who registered at 2C this year. A bit low. Maybe the prs hv gone somewhere else, or maybe because the school is relocating or maybe because ........
