i believed appeal cases will be entertained if demand exceeds supply by a little. If too many, don think they will entertain.


Anyway, hear too many unsuccessful stories from Huay Kuan already. Just keep my fingers crossed lor.

Hi! Need some advice on tao nan and ngee ann. If I cannot get a place at tao nan in phase 2C, will I still be able to secure a place @ ngee ann in phase 2C supp? I am within 2km for both schools.

That's very hard to say at this point. You will only know by Phase 2B what your real chances are. Ngee Ann has been hot and cold over the last 3 years if you look at the balloting history.

ai yoh, typo. I mean I am within 1 km to both schools.

I have not heard of the \"horror\" stories, but I do come across some of them at Chinese enrchment centres and their Chinese test at the centre are always top top.... and they don't seem to \"relax\" they continue to sign up for holiday daily classes, while I let my child take a break during school holiday. Pandon me if any parent here are from tao nan and that is not the case for you . That means I am not Kiasu enough .. :oops:

Hi

My kid is in tns.I guess whether its stressful or not in a school, be it tns or any other school, it really depends on your own expectation for the child.I dont think ,so far for my kid class, there is any case like the kid is told to go for extra private tuition.On the contrary, its the parents that signed the kids for marathon tuitions.Hope this helps.

May I ask which level is your kid in in TNS? How do u cope with the Chinese? Does your child speak Mandarin a lot at home?
I'm considering between TNS and Ngee Ann for my boys who will be in P1 next yr. But I am realistic about the fact that we don't even speak Mandarin at home cos both hubby and my Chinese is \"half past 6\"...:( However, I've started the boys with Chinese class which they seem to enjoy. I am very worried that it will be a very painful 6-year long process for them if I put them in TNS. What is your opinion about this, considering the home environment is mainly English speaking?

thanks!
