Actually it's reall true that branded schools produces smart brats. I dunno, don't hv much faith in our education system nowadays. The students are smart.. many many As and stuff. Take 8 sujects all score A1.. but other than that.. their EQ probably sucks.
Alot of the newer grads can't work. Not because they are stupid, it's that they dunno the right attitude to work. They have no respect towards their colleagues, regardless of rank. They can't take hardship and can't think independently. All just route learning.
Whereas some of the best interns my hb come across come from humble background and did not go to top schools yet did pretty well in the varsity.
For me.. my nephew and my own cousin are just living proof.. good at academics but will not survive the real corporate world for various reasons.

H Buddy,
The academic talks are scaring me too.. argh...
Mummies,
I initially wanted to use my parent's place to register for maris stella cos really near and both me and hubby working. but now i think i rather have a more relaxing primary school i think.. but i see my brother go to a sucky primary school.. think all parents too busy also to bther too much about the kids and they really just roam around.. scold vulgarities in primary school and talk back to tcr... so the idea of going to good school is more for the company than for the education...
By the way, anyone here uses child tethers/harnesses?? I going on a trip soon and hinking of getting 2 of those..

Wen,
we cant use our parents address for registration to your idea school. Unless your address and your parents are within 1km or 2km but still need to be PV to be able to ballot to get in. Cos i thought of that too, but even go find MP if can use my parents address also fails. Unless i sell my current flat to get a new place, but that also cant confirm i can get into the school i want.

Talking aboout Primary school...i am always very lost and stress with this issue.
Florence - why u get rejected from nan chiau? they only open for parents volunteer this year for kids born in 2005. I just submitted my form this Jan and was told they will only select by jul or sept. You mean they already start selecting PV ?
Not sure joining huey kuan helps..

Hi to all mummies,
I am 1st time to this discussion thread, read through some mummies' posting, I really got worried..
FYI I am a single mum and my girl is born Apr 2005. Seems that most mummies here r already worried about their kids P1 registration and also what they learn in school...
The childcare that I send my girl to have English n mathematics homework every monday n Chinese every friday.. I already very stress juggling my office work, housework n my girl and her homework..
If i dun guide her when she write, she will write very messy..
and sometimes, she write very slow or need to keep erase it.. so i do not hace time for other stuffs..
Now she had more homework to bring home.. Anyway, saw some mummies mentioned their kids had spelling tests etc already? Thought K2 then have? Nowsday really stressful, wanted to let them have a more memorable childhood also cannot.. lots to learn..
I didn't send her to other classes as my timing difficult manage and sometimes need work weekends too
Oh no! How? I really worried she can't catch up as I really dun have time to guide her at times.. n she can be very naughty at times.. especially she goes out with my mother n my sisters...Haiz.. she very bad tempered..
Hope that she can catch up..

Wow... suddenly see you so active here! Wei, find one day afternoon make yourself free lei. Pris and me still arranging to meet up. Hee.... both also say you must go. Wahahahahaha.
Angie
You try go to SingaporeBrides and see anyone has got good lawyer to advise. Or I try to find for you. Cos, I'm helping a friend to look for one for abusive husband case.
Regarding child's school, last time I was determined to put my child into Nan Hua, since my mum moved so near to there. But end up, feel that no point la. My niece came from a neighbourhood school, but now just went into Nan Hua High liao. So, she managed to convince me, doesn't mean you go to neighbourhood school, you won't get good results. It's how the parents place effort in their kids. Thus, I will only try Rulang, where it's near my MIL's place. If not, just go to neighbourhood will do.
Poshies
Good idea! Hehehe... though just celebrated Joeson's birthday. Wahahahahaha.
