Just saw Forum discussion on Asiaone on


S'poreans to get priority for P1 places during balloting: MOE

http://forums.asiaone.com/showthread.php?t=48358

See what the forummers said....

After reading some of the posts there, i think we hv more constructive and meaning discussions here. SC or PR or FT, we are parents of the next generation, we ought to set good examples and be responsible for the words we use. :lovesite:

Kudos to Chief and team! :udaman: :udaman:

Btw, my girl got into IJ Katong (no need to ballot, no need for heartaches nor sweaty palms!)

:celebrate:

Kiasu parents forum definitely have more constructive discussion.

Otherwise, I won't be posting here instead of there.

I put in the link to share what some other forummers think of the system (esp those not affected by the change)

:lovesite: too! and I like this post over there....

Sure this is a step in the right direction finally BUT just setting the priorities right for primary one intake is not enough what about the almost equal and infact favorable treatment of foreigners in secondary, JC, poly and Uni especially in Unis where locals are deprived of place in choice courses and these space allocated to foreigners using the argument that foreigners will help raise standards (sure this argument do carry some logic but look at the numbers of foreigners and the terms offered to them and look at their behavior Sun Xu is a classic example).

And beyond MOE there are a ton of inequalities favoring foreigners and FTs which are waiting to be corrected. Singaporeans cannot let up on this until the close to 3,000,000 FTs become perhaps 300,000.

Hi Janam,


The good news is Opera Estate was not full last year even after phase 3.

As for the school? Ironically, OE's higher chinese distinction rate last year was 60%, which is higher than even Taonan. Their top student scored 268, which was good enough to beat all of the students from Taonan's P6A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and L. Only classes 6I (top 276), JK (271, 272) and M (269) had students who scored higher. Bear in mind that OE is not a GEP school.

I predict that in 6 years or so, some of the less popular schools will produce very interesting PSLE results because these are the only schools highly motivated PRs and foreigners can get into.

I don't understand why Singaporeans think that PR and foreigner are better than them, we are also equally talented, except that they try to find the resources and they are ready to spend the money to any extent, why not we also do the same instead of spending time for some other entertainments, outing etc, etc we will spend and invest time and money for our children future, so that in due time there will be more and more talented Singaporeans to prove

[Asure7]

I think its not so much of \"talent\", but rather a side effect of being a first world country.


It's not about parents throwing $ and resources at all cost.
Our FTs are simply very hungry due to the harsh environment they were brought up in, and they will fight for resources/knowledge themselves to achieve a higher standard of living.
Our little darlings, on the other hand, are much more pampered and less motivated as they have a safety net to fall back on. Putting our own kids in the same harsh environment the FTs grew up in will simply break our hearts, and may be considered \"child abuse\" to some :rotflmao:

When I was studying in the states, the Americans also thought all Asians were Math/Science geniuses (academically at least). But what they may not have seen was how the Chinese stayed in computer labs in school until 12 midnight (they were forced to leave the lab as the labs were closing). Even then, they camped outside the labs overnight, so that they will be the 1st to get in and continue their work at 8am :scared:
Totally no life.
Conversely, the Americans believe in a more \"balanced\" life style. They want to enjoy their college life at the same time.
\"Work-hard, play hard\".
I think SCs are somewhere in between on the scale

:goodpost:


agree totally with the 'hungry' factor. it's their desperation to succeed at all cost. i've seen how it propelled the asian kids to the top during my stay in the states and i'm seeing the same determination from the FT parents of the kids who shared the same neighbourhood playground as my kid every evening.

Yup, they are indeed hungry. I was told by my neighbour that the Indian PR kids in my P1 girl’s school are smart because they are coached by their mothers for homework and assessment till 12mn on school days.

We can see it through the Olympic games why China can win so many gold medals, cos they went through tough training starting from young.
