      Just in my personal point of view , parents who go though the BL route and got rejected by the school , just think for the parents who go though the PV or RC route , they have started planning for their child to enroll in which school as early as year 2010, ( PV registration started on jun 2010 for child to study next year P1) and RC

      Member may even much early as this route is even tougher to get a recommended letter , whereas in BL route as mentioned by silversword that joining the clan that is less than a year, comparing to the time and effort that parents have put in in PV and RC route , sacrificed their leave and time and contribution to the school or public (RC) . If everyone have the same chance I getting registed in a good school , of course they would like a take the easiest way out. ( money or time or effort)

          hi all,

          i do feel all your anger and disappointment.

          myself and my hb take turns to do PV in Mee toh since last mth.
          i called Mee toh in 2010 to ask when they usually start accepting Pv for 2011. btw, my child is born in 2007.
          they told me registration starts usually in July. so in 2011 May, i called again. they told me in July 2011. i called in July 2011 and was told form not ready. ask to leave my contact and they will send the form to me.
          2 weeks later i called again and they say they will send me the form, which i did. and submit the very next working day which i am already at Q no 26.

          lucky for us, we get to do the PV this year.
          but whether we will get the seat at P2B next year is another worries.

          for grassroots, what i heard is you have to be active for 3 years from the date P1 registration starts.
          for clan, i think have to be active in the temple for 2 years.

          i wish those who are gg to P2C balloting good luck.

                Hi qq,

                Congrats on able to got a place in PV.

                Allow me to tell you about my effort.

                I tried to go for PV, I submitted my form, but I do not even receive a call and when I called back. All PV had been taken up, while I am still in the dark.

                What I did next, I try the grassroot route. GUess what, their weekly meeting falls on Thursday while every Thursday I got my weekly conf calls meeting at night.

                I only manage to attend at most 4 to 5 sessions of meeting and volunteered my few days during the last GE running around flats with the MP (Ms Penny Low) and selling of bricks for the CC.However, due to my attend rate, I am not qualify for the letter from Grassroot route.

                Even with doing some grassroot service, my wife knew our chance is low due to my attendant rate. She has a backup plan to be a member of BL for the BL route just in case.

                It turn out, we have to use the BL route and the result we all know about it.

                Btw, Being a grassroot voluteer. I know Grassroot leader whom services are also around a year also got in 2B phase for thier kid at MTS. Therefore 3 years of grassroot service is not valid.

                The end... Thank you for veiwing..

                  All these injustice and unfair incidents encountered by the parents here, do you all bother to ask for a reason from the school?

                  Another point is that are all those BL route rejected parents are those joined BL for less than 1 year or fulfill the 2 years criteria. We need to get the facts right before we can claim back our justice and fairness from the school.

                    hi Silversword,


                    in my case, when i submitted my form, i was also ask to wait for them to call me.
                    i actually every 3 mths since last year after submitting the form to check when will they be calling me. i was constanly being told that the school will call, i just have to wait.
                    so this year ard May i called every 2 weeks to make sure i am in the loop.
                    and finally, got the call before june holiday.

                    i agree with 2 snoopy. maybe shd find out what are the criteria for both BL and grassroots to be qualified under Phase 2B.

                    i read in another thread, one of the parent said that its not necessary for the school give reason for rejecting BL or grassroots leader.

                    i just hope comes next year, i am able to get a seat under 2B.

                      Hi qq,

                      Guess I should be more active in calling the school after I submitted my PV form.

                      Anyway, it is too late now.

                      I will most probably sending my child to another school for 2C registration.

                      For Grassroot route, for sure something like a year would enough. I witness it myself.

                      For BL/Clan route, there seem to be no clear guide line. As I mentioned in my previous post, my colleague whom joining a clan for few months also got in a place for 2B for heir child in another school.

                      Dun worry about your chance in 2B, with PV you stands a good chance.
