I see. Sorry I didnt see the full picture. I thought the child was simply too mortified or didnt know what to do. A solution in such situation could be for any of the teachers who smelt it or knew about it to gently escort him out to get a change of clothes (or to call his parent, if he couldnt manage to clean himself up). It now looks like the teachers did not handle it well.[/quote]

I'm surprised that you have probably never had experienced with vomitting at the smell of your own diaherra when what comes are is air (that kind of vomit... that i'm referring to)

Report to MOE, they will forward the case back to the school to investigate. You think the parents in the school has not tried? And to clarify, I have nothing against special needs student to be in mainstream. I do not think the child is a special needs student, but seems like you are suggesting it. Are you a psychologist who can diagnose special needs based on an account without even observing child?

Thanks for forwarding the post to the school. A parent told me she is still waiting for the school reply on her queries on the standard protocol to handle such situation.

From time to time, I see these virulent attacks on neighbourhood primary schools.

When you say kids were \"vomiting,\" who cleaned up the pools of vomit?

Are you aware that mainstream schools occasionally take in autistic children, or ones with behavioural or home problems? Instead of mainstream schools, where should such children go, in your view?

Are you aware that if this were true, you can report it to MOE and launch an investigation?

Alternatively, if someone forwarded your post to the school, the school could investigate your post and have you POFMA'd if it were false?

I am forwarding your post to the school.

It is understandable if bladder/bowel control accidents happen, especially if their request to visit the toilet during lessons is turned down.

Was there no kind soul (child or teacher) to offer to bring the child to the general office to request a fresh change of clothes? How did the poor child get thru recess? Would have been a horrible experience for him/her too.[/quote]

Keeping the parents out of things was in 6 years essentially what they always did.

As for example with bullying cases, they care more for the culprit and less for the victim. I heard this: Oh, these parents are a little overly sensitive. Of course there are overly sensitive parents. However, a school still has to handle this professionally. In the beginning I tried to communicate with them. But I learned pretty quickly to better shut up, or there may be recursions.

Many times things would have been half has bad, if they put bad cases up for discussion with all involved parties, openly. I thought times are over when we sweep things under the carpet. Also, the school was missing out on opportunities, for example teaching all children a lesson. For example what was said to my son's class when the compass incident happened: \"Don't talk about it, don't say at home.\" I see it as leaving the kids alone with a psychologically negative experience at a young age. Wouldn't it be the parents the first to talk with for a child?

What my son did was probably instinctively the right thing to do, keeping emotionally distant from the school and everything.

He is now at a school where (so far) the teachers care. It is stark difference to before in terms of quality communication, and teaching style as well.

It should be much easier now. You just need to email the school your child was registered in.
https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/how-to-register?toggle-id=documents-for-withdrawal-from-school

Be sure you give enough time so that the withdrawal will come in time, otherwise, you child may be left without a registered school

Just one more question, how easy or difficult is it to withdraw your child from earlier phase and apply in the next phase? ...

Thanks @qms for the explanation! So shouldn't they just state the final number of people who gets in? I don't know what the powers-to-be are thinking at times.

In 2020, for example, the number of vacancies in P2C was 145 while 91 applied. Hence, if all 91 were to be admitted, the number of vacancies left for P2CS would be 54.

However, in P2CS, we saw that the number of vacancies was actually 59. So, it could mean that not all the 91 who applied in P2CS got in. As in the case, there was balloting for PRs > 2 km in P2C in 2020 due to the cap in the number of PRs.

In 2021, the PR cap for P2C was not met. Hence, everyone who applied got in.

Thanks for your reply. I am a PR and staying >2km. When you say there was slight balloting, you mean Phase 2C or 2Cs? If I look at the balloting history for the past 2 years.. in Phase 2C 2021, no. of applicants was 81 and all 81 got in. Same in 2020, number of applicants were 91 and all 91 got in.. so not sure how come there was balloting? In Phase 2Cs however, yes there is usually balloting even for SC>2km. Unless the information on balloting history websites is not entirely correct.

HI Zac's mum, I did not find the answer here.. hence asking on this forum. Very confusing as to how come there was balloting when all 91 applicants got in in Phase 2C in Y2020. Anyway, may be some missed data point or something ..
One more question - During the Phase 2C window (which is open for 3 days I guess) MOE publishes the PR vacancies. but do they also publish how many PRs have applied? This should provide a good idea if balloting will happen..

Depends. If you are an SC, then you will always get into BTPS in Phase 2C with the school only 2/3 filled.
If you are a PR, there was some very slight balloting in 2020 for those staying >2km away.

Hello,

Looking for some advise here .. may I know if we may have to face ballot if applying in BTPS in Phase 2C ? or is the ballot only for Phase 2Cs ? My understanding is that this school usually does not go to ballot for 2C whether its PR or SC, so just want to confirm that.

thanks
