Sure,....enjoy while you can. 8 days ++ more to go...

A friend smses me every morning, with the number of days left.

Just realise that we are not only kiasu parents but also kancheong parents.

Agree with Janet_lee88, shld think carefully before deciding the right school. Once submit, there's it. Cannot turn back. Only look forward. Choice of school also impt. It will bring your DC to the next 4 years of studies. I would reckon not to submit hastily unless he/she already made the choice and their T Score allows for it.

So far, most of us would have thought of 6 schools in the different COP range.
Once results are released, it will be different as we have to short list properly...1st, 2nd, 3rd choices are very impt...my good friend advised me to consider all choices properly and that we must want and like the schools chosen...cannot 'humtam'. With the results, we can now make decisions.

Yap, most of us will already have in mind what the choices are. It's a matter of results and meeting COP for the schools. Once results are out, I think it should be really easy to sort out the choices. DS don't really care. It's mommy who has to understand his needs and pick the ones closer to his interests. This one is a real big mommy's boy.


So if results are ok, we can go off somewhere. It's when results are not ok, then I really have to crack my brains and stay put until I can sort out the mess. :frustrated: :scratchhead: :nailbite: Hope that doesn't happens.

My son and yours can shake hands...Mummy has to pick and choose schools which prince can fit in, in terms of academic and culture...then explain to both father and son why I feel those schools are suitable. When I asked my son which schools he are keen in, he told me, 'Huh? I don't know'. :slapshead: :slapshead: Then he saw my face turning black and added, 'I want to go an all boys school'. Whatever it is, it depends on results next Thur 22/11.

Same here! DH and DS leave this burden to me. My ds chooses his sch based on where his friends go :faint:

[janet88]

These 3 criterias are confirmed:

1) All boys school...HOPEFULLY
2) O level route
3) No SAP schools.

Personally, I want to add this.
A school which believes that all kids are equal and teachers who love and care.

DH anything also can. Bochap.


DS got a dream school but most probably cannot get in so besides that anything also can. No clue liao.

So mommy here got to decide. Luckily they just accept without questions because they bochap. I got a friend whose DH don’t want the responsiblity to make decisions but all ready to blame if anything goes wrong or don’t work out. That I think that is really tough.
