If you are registering for your child next year and you are looking at schools in Bt Merah area, you may like to consider Radin Mas Pri. You are not too late for apply for PV in RMPS.

really?? but we're working parents... ok i shall call the school to ask anyway. THANKS!

qms:

Average salary workers but still decent living, right? Actually, you are right that parents want the best for their children. However, most parents end up making decisions that they think are the best for their children. But, are they? JMHO.


Anyway, you know you are late in doing anything now. Does panic help? Does feeling desperate help? Eliminate the \"noise\" in the environment and you will feel better. No point fretting over something that you cannot control. If you are registering this year, there is really nothing much you can do even if you panic and feel desperate. So, just let nature takes its own course.

BTW, we didn't do anything for our children, too. They are now in a happily studying in a neighbourhood school.

actually it's next year but ya too late anyway.

thanks!

uh cos we're only average salary workers and as parents we all want \"the best for our children\".

just that everyone else has a plan except us (friends come from good primary schools) and now we're panicking!

we're a little too laidback and now feeling the pressure of not doing enough for our kids... people are asking us which school we sending our kids and we're like uhhhh....

Hi anytanz,

There is no need to panic and feel any pressure at all. Do you seriously think a branded primary school can make a difference in the academic performance of a child? It's the child's innate abilities and the subsequent nurturing that makes the difference. If the child is intelligent, he will do just as well in any primary school in Singapore.

Thanks,
Xiaohu

hi xiaohu, thanks for the assurance.

it did occur to me that too but just that there's always this worry about \"better school with better teachers/system\"...

guess i need to chill and go with the flow...

it shows that output from 'neighbourhood' schools made it good


validate MOE's position that all schools are same good
