all the little golden roosters have joyfully hopped onto the band wagon(s), happily and excitedly destination bound for different Primary schools orientation all over SG, waving good-bye :imanisland: :grphug: ...
Exit the golden roosters, they now hand over and pass the baton over to 2013 troupe.

now, the scenario changes.
enter the little golden doggies - wagging their tails happily, queuing for 2013 ... :rahrah:

Some kids who are borned in 2005 before CNY are still considered to be under the Chinese Monkey year. The same will apply to yr 2006 kids.

Scary:

SAHM_TAN:

Scary:

Yaya. .must look at the stats for boys vs girls in 2006, 2007, 2008, etc. Not just 2005. In fact, most of my friends have girls born after 2005.

You narrow your kid's choice to locals only? :siam:

Hehehe, DS class also has more boys then girls. Well actually there is only 1 girl in his class.


But no worries, he can go after girls of different age also.

Ya hor, how come I never think of that...... :salute:

Haha.... well said Zeemimi, then perhaps those with 2005 DSs will have to start worrying........... :evil: :evil: :evil:

annamylee:

If based on birth rate(Singaporean vs Singaporean), I don't forsee school like acsj, Chua cho Kang primary, sji will need to ballot in phase 2c....


Somehow, some seats are taken up from unexpected foreigners turn PR and they do pv, church/clan/grassroot(?) that occupy the places.

Birth rate in 2005 is not that high, you know....

Ririan:

Agree with you. :goodpost:
Putting things into perspective; Ultimately, the biggest 'competition' that we Singaporean parents are facing is still our fellow Singaporean parents. I pity MOE, there is really no way it can please us all.

zeemimi:

These foreigners may not necessarily be residing in Spore. Many of them travel from JB to Spore on weekdays and travel back in the evenings. Others are mostly rich Indonesians (or other nationalities) who live with their relatives / friends in Singapore. They pay a higher rate of school fees and do not have Edusave.

MOE is not obliged to provide places for foreigners. They just take what is left.

The schools left in Phase 3 are usually not very popular with Singaporeans. Hence the competition element with regards to registration is minimal. Of course they will compete with our kids in terms of academic pursuits. But I believe such competition is healthy and inevitable. We cannot shelter our kids very much.

erm .... please don't :spank: me for this. I'm just trying to offer an alternative and balanced view.

Really ??? I thought foreigners can go for phase 1 also.
