Let’s put it this way,
do you expect teachers being less motivated if they are teaching in popular schools ? -

If got dynamic Principal with strong leadership skills to push, to get things done + good team of support staff : can go far.
But if P soft soft type, not bold to face challenges ahead, new schools can sink into oblivion, after some time -
That’s for sure. In popular schs like horizon/mee toh, definitely the teachers r motivated to teach. I m just thking, with such fierce competition at horizon, I got to consider alternative at the new schs. If ballot out, also must compromise at new schs. No choice now leh! I didn’t expect such high demand for horizon?!

Even if principal is recognized & strong background, it’s gonna take several yeras to build up the school reputation.
Before that time arrives, I believe many children who are K1, K2 or P1 have already graduated. -
In popular sch, teachers are under more pressure, to deliver more as parents expect more and school principal expect more. My son is in MTS
and I could feel the tension/pressure, they were already start on 1B activity book in May and final exam in beginning of July!
However, I doubt the teachers there are really motivated, but rather under pressure to rush through teaching the curriculum. Let me also
pre-empt u lst. If you want to enrol in such popular sch, you have to really prepare your child well, make sure he/she really have a solid background, don't except teachers to teach coz teacher will expect your children TO KNOW. Many times, my son form teacher was absent. I don't know if she is on course or on MC. My son will just tell me teacher not here today, today silent reading... 2 weeks later... teacher not here again... sick... I called the form teacher thrice on different occassions, but she never returned my call.. 3rd time was a more severe case and she called me back (Son classmate's threw his glasses and lens broke).
Some schools that I know of, their teachers are very committed, they will not hesitant to give parents their HP no so parents can contact teachers at any time. The recent Eng test, 1/4 of the class failed, form teacher said: test upon 40 marks, those above 35 marks, gd job those failed you know what you should do. My son quoted what teacher told the class, and I thought: what could the failures do? Isnt what the teacher should do to help the failures? I think parents not only should pray hard their children can get into gd sch they should also pray hard their children can get a gd and responsible teacher.
