samontheway:

I am not disagreeing that DSAer should keep loyalty to confirmed school.

I also appreciate the parents who are a little upset about the precipitate tighten-up this year.
I would say that MOE should extraordinarily alert this tighten-up, especially stress it during schools' open-house activities.
A respectful administration runs with more comprehensive consideration.
So, Mr greentree, if you will be complaining moe's behavior instead of its policy, I support you.

This is rubbish ... blaming others like MOE for their own fault ... others are always wrong mentality ...

Just ask Mr Greentree to look in the mirror & ask himself \"Am I selfish ?\"

The answer is of cos, \"YES !\"

Snow Crystal:

In 100% honesty, i would not go back on a CO should my kid score higher because it goes against my conviction that one should always honour his words / agreement. That's why i believe scholarship holders should always fulfill their bond before they pursue their own further interest.

Stick to that principle ... it should be that way ...
[quote]For analysis, most of these who want to reverse their CO already have a CO from a reputable IP school, not that it is so kooching-kurak sch. Can my kid not get a equally good education from this DSA school? Are there invisible tiers that we create even among IP schools? Is there therefore any surprise some of our kids are behaving like elitist?[/quote]Exactly nowdays kids behave like this because of the parents selfish & elitist behaviour. From here, you can already see so many of them !

So no parent is totally right or wrong. [/quote]Rubbish. Of cos there is right & wrong. Those who accepted DSA & complain wanna opt out are wrong. Selfish parent. Period. No two ways about it. (Unless of cos if it is for reson they apply under soccer & now broke their leg)

[quote]Very simple reason actually- hope the kid get into his dream school, a very simple dream.[/quote]Why must it always be about the dreams of the kids who got DSA & opt out. What about the dreams of the kids who applied for DSA & got rejected ? Those whinners have depreived other kids of their dream school & they don't feel bad one bit about it.

When they chose to accept the CO, do they think of other kids who have dreams of going to the same school ?

So, in life, if you have made a decision & it turn out to be wrong later, learn to live with i & move on. Take it as a lesson.

The whole world does not revolve & concern those few selfish parents !

What moral values are these parents teaching their kids ?

All in the name of achieving dreams ? Look, I also have dreams of living in a big mansion & driving Porsche & Lamborgini. I can rob the bank & fulfil the dreams, so if I do that, can it be justified ? Of cos not !

If I am the mother of the thread starter (& all those similar whinners), I am ashamed to have such a kid who passed down wrong values to my grandchildren !

For heaven sake !

[quote="phankao]We never discussed at length with our boy about this issue. But he himself was asked during his DSA interview about this particular issue, and he promised to put the school as 1st preference. When I asked him about it later if he would want to consider another school if he did very well, he said "cannot - I promised already". In a way, I am proud of him for that. On the other hand, he actually is not in the situation to choose in the end. haha[/quote]



your stance is applauded

That should be the way

greentree:

We are group of parents who had accepted DSA offer earlier,

and trying to transfer to other schools.

We are currently appealing to MOE.

Any other parents in our similar situation.
Please share your experience. Hope to get more feedback.

You are trying to find similar selfish parents to join you ? Hahaha :siam:
