...亲爱忠诚, 敬业乐群...

Are you an old boys?

Anyway, this P1 registration has got nothing to do with 亲爱忠诚, 敬业乐群. Did the school teaches if the P1 registration system is right or is wrong?

The system P1 registration has been around for many years, why only recent years then start to have parents complaining this and that? The complaints are just to serve each own personal agenda or just vent their anger without studying carefully how to best choose which school which you have a higher chance of getting in.

That is why as parents, we need to learn how to best fit ourselves and our children into the current system (adapt), it not, either you have to get into a position where things can be changed (attack) and not just complaining or just simply get out of the while system altogether (avoid), I call the 3 'A' of life. Not getting into your self thought to be the best school in town is not the end of the world, is it the best will not be known until your child reaches P6. This is call adaptation and survival of fittest.

For those who have successfully got into their 'dream' school via PV, Church, Grassroot, honestly how many still carry on after their child got into P1. If they still carry on after P1, this is what I call 亲爱忠诚, 敬业乐群. For their truly volunteer spirit effort bears the sweet fruit in which their child's children will be able to get into the school of their dream too.

Just like my DS, originally wanted to send him to a neighbourhood school so can benefit DD, was monitoring closely each phase. And was surprised that year the neighbourhood school was over subscribed at Phase 1 and was quite sure that by Phase 2C has no chance of not balloting. I change strategy halfway to send him to another school under Phase 2A2.

And the headache comes when DD was going P1 few years after, back then again monitoring all schools up to Phase 2B very closely, and choose a school which no need to ballot in Phase 2C.

I do not wish to debate the merits or otherwise of P2A here, seeing as this is not the correct thread and that debate has been sufficiently aired in the other thread. Not to mention that it is certainly something where people can legitimately have different views about.

All I want to do is point out that such derogatory statements as, \"These group of self sensed non thinking parents who think they are really smart by putting pressure on MOE and trying to lobby for change\", and \"Compared to the noise by some non alumni parents .... MOE will think twice ....not forgetting the elites whom are old boys from CHS\" evinces an elitist attitude that certainly falls short of 亲爱忠诚, 敬业乐群.

I am an old boy, and I am not proud for my alma mater to be associated with such statements. If these statements had appeared in some other school's thread, I would not have said anything. Other than that, peace.

Please read my post carefully, I did not mentioned the word \"ELITES\", it's someone else mentioned after my post. The dirty word is mentioned by ascend88


Please do not put words into my mouth.

I think you should also read the post I wrote at the Home Page on Chief's comment.

I never ever advocate elitism, it is also something which I hate very much.

Anyway it is non of my interest now as both kids are already in school, it is just that I cannot stand those who cannot get into the school they just know how to complain and never reflect on themselves, and I shall not mentioned all this system of how children get into P1. And furthermore we are not the XXXXXX, if we are, we will have the power to change things directly and not talking here.

We came from the same school, we are taught mainly in chinese and also the traditional chinese culture and we (including both of us) know what is 礼义廉耻, so how could I have that kind of XXXXX attitude?

And by the way, I shouldn't be posting here anymore as DS already no longer in primary school anymore.

Let's maintain the peace here and stick to networking...


And ascend88, please don't dig up old posts (dated May) and stir things up here... :heresmyfish:
