MMM:

In the case of MBS, the P1 kids were stream based on their SA1 chinese results. I totally agree with Chief, given that those kids in the best class are taught alot more and tested alot more than the rest but they still sit for the same SA paper. Potentially their results will be better given their exposure. So it's never playing on the same level.


Was relating to my ex-teacher who is still teaching there that no doubt that such streaming helps teachers to focus their attn and group kids according to their capability (probably better for them). But as a parent, inorder to avoid the situation above, we need to ensure that the kids do well enough to make it to the top class or at least average....

MMM,

my dd will be registering in primary sch in yr 2010. Would like to find some informations.

Is it a usual pratice that MBS will hv streaming? Chinese only?
How does MBS go about it to segregate children to the classes?
How is MBS standard compare to Eunos Primary and Geylang Med Sch?

Cheers

so the child must become a SC or juz one of parents to be SC? Heard of many instances tat one spouse become SC juz to enjoy the benefits and the other to retain their own country's citizenship.

Same thing.... I had heard most of the PR applied for SC (only one of the parents) to gain the benefits. Is it true that one of them is a SC will do? With that they can gain child care subsidy, SC sch fee etc?? If yes, does it sound that they are still having both worlds?? sigh.... :stupid:

Hi


Recently I heard Tao Nan’s principle will be allocated to Eunos Primary, anyone has any idea about it? If it is so, will there be improvement.

Hi,


Meanwhile for unpleasant words, I believe there are always \"black sheep\" in every school. For that, we cannot just depend on the school but alot also depend on the parents' support as well.

Hi MMM

Thanks for that. Probably you are right, just a concern that raise. Hopefully that if happens that my kid managed to get in MBS, she will not get such influence. I will also have to ensure that she is well-mannered too.

Cheers

Hi parent,

Now there is a 'hot' topic about Primary one registration. It has an impact to me especially my girl will be entering P1 the year after next. My neighbour's son managed to get in as last ballot. Sounds so difficult. Few questions:

1) How well are they compare to Tao Nan?
2) At times I can see our neighbourhood's children studying at MBS, they seems to me as not well mannered. Sometimes can even hear unpleasant words. Is MBS standard so terrific?
3) How does MBS set the standard for better ones and average students?
3) Somehow I overheard that MBS is not so stressful on the academic, it is a relief to some parents? Will this affect the academic standard?

Please share and let me know more about MBS.

Thanks

cheers
