      [quote=\"zakashi\"]Actually I hate the process of alumni but when come to think about it you will value it. We can pass down to our future generation. Our children will not have to go through so much problem the next time when they want to register school for their children.


      Yes, at this moment I am very upset with P2A system because it really left a few peanuts for P2B and P2C. Especially for us living within 1km to SCGS and ACSP.


      it is all about self-interest

      You are right. How to help MOE to make everyone happy?[/quote]Since it's self-interest in nature....the state of everyone being happy is MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.

            Not really.

            As someone who is not remotely keen on those branded school like hpp, nyps etc.. I detest the system of giving priority to alumni staying far far away.. and then during morning peak hour or evening peak hours, these pple will contribute to the traffic jam and cause unbearable traffic speeds and affect every road users (of affected roads).

            I believe if 95% of the students stay within 1~2km.. the traffic condition may not be so bad.

            Ask the taxi uncles.. they will tell you, some of the jams is relate to the popular primary schools (or even not so atas ones..).

            ok.. I don't drive.. but just speaking up for those who suffered from road jams caused by nearby primary schools..

            And obviously, it is not a case of sour grapes..

              I know this is coming.

              Suggesting ways to improve the system does not always equal to \"just because i wanted to get into that good school but cannot\" and are here to criticise the system out of self interest.

              Most here are keen to discuss the merits and flaws of the system and deliberating on ways to improve it.

              😄

                Er, actually, I know of parents who drive their DC to school, even though they stay a 5 min walk away. And do so everyday, not only when it rains. Their rationals differ … Some say it’s to give DC that precious 5 min more of sleep … LOL

                  Ya lor! One parents said that DC eats in the car, so the one minute drive to school, and 4 min waiting the the queue of cars turning into school makes the difference between having breakfast and not having breakfast. I didn’t ask why DC cannot eat as they walk to school. Perhaps it causes indigestion!

                    What happen if they do the same for 6 years! Beside indigestion what?

                      I suspect it is very small minority..

                      How many of you here would waste 4mins' waiting for 1min's journey? plus petrol.. etc..
