The good side about that horrible traffic is....I hone my driving and parking skills.

This is OT. Actually I have one grouse: I see a lot of parents blantantly flouting traffic rules every morning: drive across double white line to do a U-turn on Dunearn Rd, turning illegally from the main road instead of using the slip road (which is dangerous for kids crossing the road at the junction), etc. :faint: There was one lagi best, he/she parked the car next to the island, reducing the traffic to a single lane and left the car there (during dismissal time). Dunno it is need to go :imconstipated:

Hi alng


it's v quiet at the SCGS parents' networking forum so I'll ask u here. I know there is no after school care in SCGS. Do you know what other parents do for after sch care? I am working FT and I hope my daughter can spend her time somewhere else after school instead of being home with my MIL and the TV...

Hi, I have pm-ed you.

I totally agree with this. And that traffic junction is very dangerous even not during the morning peak hours. I have witnessed some near accidents before. The construction there has made things worse. I actually prohibit my dd to cross the road using that traffic lights when she has to cross that road once a week to get to the bus stop opposite to go for her tuition. I get her to cross the road via the overhead bridge instead.

I think his DD must surely have gotten into SMPS. It can't be that he was the unlucky one who was balloted out, after he encouraged all of us to go for SMPS. Or could it be...

I think that the policy intention is not to give any \"entitlement\" to those who *own* property near to schools. The policy intention instead is to minimise time taken up for travel by school children...

I agreed with all your points.

I am sad and sorry to hear that you said \"should have gunned down phase 2B but failed to do so\" and now you also did not get balloted in to SCGS. I can understand well why you took that action.

I almost wanted to do the same like you but after studying the number of vacancies left and all the Kiasu Masters opinions, we decided to shoot Phase 2B >2km. I thank God that we were successful. We also wanted to withdraw Phase 2B for SCGS <1km but decided not to on the last day. It is really a hard decision for me. Most nights I was not able to sleep well. Some days, I even had nightmare! Well, now I have the real peace and could sleep well.

Which school do you plan to register your child in the next phase?

I will pray for you and hope almighty God will open a better door and place for your child.

Cheers! :hugs:
