      RRMummy,

      MOST parents NOW will look at vacancies available at 2C before deciding (assuming lah), or else reach heart-breaking moment when schools turn them away even before registering.

      If don’t want to go to 2C supp, then there are still schools available at 2C for registration. Alamak, MP also cannot help if that parent die die wants to register at XX school if staying > than 2km. Then MP will tell him, ‘all schools are the same’.

        Yes got!! I can vomit blood explaining to that colleague of mine.. seems like I more worried for him then himself.. he say he doesn't want all those leftover in 2Csupp but wanna try balloting. Worse case go find MP woh... :faint:

        I only found out yesterday that not all schools will tell you that you have to try elsewhere.. the onus is on the parents to check..
        Serious ah?? Got such noob parents...
        Then the sch also very EVIL if never warn such parents...

          At 2C, schools should tell parents their chances. Very evil not to do so…esp since some parents are 1st timers at registration.


          But if there are stubborn parents, I wish them all the best if still insist lah. They think MPs are angels.

            janet_lee88, he can't even be bothered to find out. Can't even be bothered to find out WHEN to register and which Phase. That also I have to tell him. He say he's not free, just go any day can.. :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

            Die die wanna go try balloting (heavily oversubscribed) and if not successfully balloted in still die, die wanna aim a school which confirm aft Phase 2C ZERO places when come Phase 2Csupp :roll:

            If MP help 1.. I think all hell will break loose..

              RRMummy,

              Is he plain stubborn or ignorant, thinking that MP will solve his problems ??? Can't be bothered about child's education at all :!:
              If school is heavily oversubscribed and if staying more than 2km, how can any MP help him ? Give up :stupid:
              It's amazing there are parents who behave like this.

                  sigh...Singaporeans depend and demand too much on external parties. MPs, Police, and other authorities, regulators only do this much for us.


                  It is sad when we also need MPs' assistance for our children to go to a preferred primary school...when you know that they will surely reject your request...

                  Know our limits 😞

                    I believe only a small minority of Singaporean are like this. Some of us don’t even know who is our MP.

                      If there are no withdrawals, these 24 schools listed below will be conducting balloting at Phase 2B on Wednesday, 28 July 2010. The schools have informed parents concerned of the balloting time. Parents are welcome to witness the conduct of the balloting.

                        My friend who registered her gal at "hot" school (neighbourhood) at Phase 2C. She mentioned that those >1km were rejected immediately. No chance to register at all.
