Fundamentally, the first question one should ask is whether a particular maneuver/tactic is fair and equitable to all interested parties, including by-standing parents. If trading in P school places were allowed, what’s there to stop a black-market from developing? I.e. I trade you my place in Nanyang for your place in Maha Bodhi, plus $10000 cash payment? Who will this benefit/disadvantage? I think we all know the answer…Next question is, if by some means, we come across a method to gain an unfair advantage for ourself for P1 registration, one that is non-transparent or above board, should we avail ourself of it? Well, that depends on what values we wish to model for our children, I guess…
