... I am waiting for Govt to pay me to stay at home to be fulltime mother, just like in Europe...
I'd be happy if the Govt just stop collecting money from me for driving my wife home every night before 8pm. -
Yeah…that’s why I decided not to enrol my girl for CHIJTP, besides the stress to go thru balloting, I have to consider the ERP cost to drive her to school every morning. Poor residents in TP has to pay to go home!

Then how do other countries' bus drivers survive?? What I mean is, where there's a will, there's a way and I really dont mind paying more for bus fares if it means my boy can sleep later :roll:Are parents willing to pay more for the buses? Hey, these people are trying to run a business too.
How much are other countries' parents paying for the bus fares?jedamum:
Well, we live a mere 5 mins away from the school by car but the bus comes around to pick up the kids in my area at 6.30am. School starts at 7.20am. The kids arrive at school before 7am. Most adults dont even start the day so early (of cos not counting those who have to becos of the kids' school). Yes, I have grouses - on behalf of the poor kids!Are other countries' parents sending their kids to primary school 10km away from their home? It seems that while some parents have no qualms about letting their kids hop onto the school buses at the wee hours of the morning to travel to school 10km away , others have grouses over school starting early.

I wonder if more people write to ST forum, would MOE start to tweak its rules? Fat hope, I think.

poor kids...an hr later or at 8am or 9am wud do all of the kids n us parents some good. -
i am with you. 7.30am is too early. If you need school bus, you are looking at leaving at 6.30am, which means wake up at 6am to prepare to goto school. Too early, too sleepy.

me too. 7.30am is too early. Thumb up for the change.
