spoken to zhonghua principal just now. i am pleased that the school is heading a very good direction. student who graduate there will be strong and determine.

its individual choice. ever wonder why people now focus on preschool and holistic education. maybe our dpm teo focus on different thing as compare to dpm thurman, and further as compare to heng

I am not sure ur kids are at upper level but I can say by the time the kids at p5 n p6, there is no time for curiosity or creativity. Many new and challenging concepts esp math come in. We parents cannot help the kids so where do we get help?? For parents who are working, tuition is the only solution. I agreed with what u say, but is it possible do away tuition in spore???


I am now in Melbourne even here Asian parents send kids to tuitions just to get into top public school. My girl got a scholarship in a private school based on what she has achieved in spore. They will nvr consider her w/o all these. We all have to face it, competition is everywhere.

very true. competition are everywhere. if a child is being given the right attitude, it would benefit him for life.

according to experts, many parent sacrifice the most crucial period for social and moral for academic skills. as such a lot of these child ended up with poor social and moral skills. one example, PRC of today.

Good for u! One less stressful parent... hopefully more will be like u... dun have to go thru wat me n my friend gone thru. I am just sharing my experience :nailbite:

knowledge is the least important. as they can be acquire from books. sports, social skills, moral, creativity, adventurous, curosity are things which are more important because it need to be learn thru experience. no amount of tuition can make up.

Thanks for the pointers, I was also considering primary school with affiliation, but notice there aren't a lot of good ones near my neighbour. :roll:

At the end of the day, we feel worse off when my daughter's friend getting 220 can still get into the school the Moe allocated to my girl thru dsa. Why study so hard and pay so much for tuition when this is such easy way? Also, the top 4 choices our girls made have lower cop for affiliated students some of which can be lower by 20 cop. This is really crazy.... the whole process of psle is crazy. Until now thinking of it made me fearful .. the effort is not just kids but parents as well. Really think twice how to strategise the path for kids to prevent the stress.[/quote]

so, who in this planet always gets what they wants all the time. all i wants my child to learn is the attitude to knowledge, social skills and mral. things which will set him straight all his life.

many has gone thru university but how many bill gates or steve job around?

staying in the gardens. thou that I could send my son to serangoon garden south school but it was merge with zhonghua. thinking that the distance from my place yangzheng is not too far as compared to zhonghua. I registered yangzheng instead.


hope zhonghua could have a back entrance at tai hwan or lorong chuan for parent to skip that huge detour. but I guess they are not doing it. I am now thinking of Townville . far, yes but at least they have a soccer field for kids to run about.

I am a member of SHHK for a few years, and unfortunately, I was not been recommended for the phase 2B, when I asked for reason, they refused to provide and insisted the result is final. The sad part is I just heard from a friend that one of his colleague appealed and got phase 2B recommendation. Comparing to many of those friends who joined grassroots and almost all got phase 2 B recommendation, therefore, it will be better to consider this route

Ok, just take it easy then. maybe your child can excel better in a less stressful environment. I heard there are a lot of mental cases in imh who were teacher and students.

Good luck to all parents registering at phrase 2C.

there will be seats for all, not worry on this.
