The pri sch tt dd is in is said to be 'famous in the neighbourhood'...:tlaugh:It's oni 5mins walk from my place.....

I want my girl go schooling in a prestigious school.

 

[SDY]

I'd rather dd not go to one of those prestigious schools mainly because of the pressure, but on the other hand, if she is able to cope, then I'm fine with it. Personally I was from neighbourhood schools and I don't think I came out badly :tlaugh:

but maybe if you did go to a more 'prestigious' school, maybe you will come out even better given the more exposure????
lol.
anyway, i chose a more 'prestigious' SECONDARY school, and it made a lot of difference. Primary school, maybe not so much.

true, but then I might have caved in to the "pressure" and came out worse off...anyway, I was never one to like studying, just did enough so that I wasn't bottom of the class :001_302:

:tlaugh:Jedamum, when u go for registration, u will be informed of the balloting date if there's one.

For dd's sch, upon registration, we oredi got a no. Balloting was done by some parents who volunteered to do the taking out of ballot slips from the box of slips. Then the slips with name n registration no. were put on the screen for us to c one by one.

My heart almost stop when most of my fren's kid oredi got in then heng ah my dd's name got picked out (she's the 60th to be picked up), there were oni abt 100+ places left when balloting was called for.

Same for me. I'm not really into famous school. I just got my son into the neighbourhood school which oso quite popular ard my place. He got into the school after Phase 2C after balloting from the 144 sitting. I got a few colleagues even started volunteering at those famous school 2 years before the enrolment. They are really :red:. I am still blur blur when come to my kids education. Remember I went to enrol my son in K1 when he is supposed to attend Nursery class at 4 years old.:embarrassed:

For me, i'm not so concerned abt his academic result but I'm more interested at whether my son enjoys going to school.
This school is oni 5mins walk from my place..ancing_wub:at least he will cut down his travelling time and relax.

But 45 mins is a long journey. Is ur ds is am or pm session? I'm getting him into my old sch too but bus journey is a big problem to mi thou it shd be faster than 45 mins :elvis:
