Hey this is Singapore People here are very 'Xian Shi' one

the Bear SG

that's what's happening.. they were talking about the parents volunteering to do 'volunteer work'

*pui!*

some volunteer Mad

and the child is currently 3..

the principals tell them outright that the 'volunteer work' will not mean their child will be in that school

thing is.. the 'good' schools are rubbish.. the parents pack their children with tuition anyway.. the teachers could just appear and sit there, the children will still get good grades...

same goes for the 'good' schools of higher levels..

the Bear SG

cynical..

machiavellian..

the ends justifies any means even if it perverts the cause and principles of the goal...

tare SG

wat's wrong with neighbourhood sch? Rolling Eyes

if the kid is smart, he'll get into a "good" sec sch/jc/poly/uni wat.... why put the kid thru so much stress to perform in a "good" sch at tat kinda age?

the Bear SG

funny use of words..

"mugging" = "armed robbery" in almost every other part of the world Laughing

gigabyte14 SG

that's why people say pri sch teachers make the most money and are most relaxing Laughing

don't really think grassroots stuffs works

my relative(mom's side) volunteers in the so called grassroots and in the end, they had to write countless letters to the MOE to get my cousin a place in pri school

elindra SG

Very expensive ><
I met up with my friend on Sat
She has 2 kids
Wah liao listen to her expenses it's like @@
That is alot of holidays and bags n fishing reels down the drain Laughing

elindra SG

My parents dumped me in a neighbourhood school so that I will pick up Mandarin

I think I have to do the same ><

Re my other post my friend also told me that the baby bonus is pure BS

gigabyte14 SG

i see people using the word mugging, so i used it too

following the culture flow Laughing

i prefer the old fashioned term studying

av98m SG

you have to be PAP members as well. Laughing

elindra SG

I wonder why they call having children ‘investing in the future’ when you look at the world and there really isn’t much future to talk about (environmental, political, competition etc etc)

kopiosatu SG

/me dances

2 weddings done~ can send for print today~~~~

but i'm getting fat Crying or Very sad

the Bear SG

it is because they never go early enough.. all the places taken already by parents who do 'volunteer work' since the child is 2..

and primary school teachers have it the toughest.. the brats are totally indisciplined because of parents who don't know the first thing about responsibility and parenting.. half the time is spent trying to keep order in the class..

i know.. i saw much of this firsthand in my life...

gigabyte14 SG

kids in neighbourhood schools tend to mix better Smile

whereas kids in so called "famous" schools are more known to have a negative personality

maybe the people there are snobbish?

the Bear SG

don't follow..

be right, be correct..

even if the world is going that way which you know is wrong, forge your own path

hisoka SG

nothign wrong with them, they weren't even interested in the work anyway. its the stupid system thats the problem needing the parents to do free work for the schools and pap for the children to get into schools

kopiosatu SG

and chris benoit is dead

WTF?!?!

elindra SG

Laughing
Tell me about it
When my cousin found out her daugther (my niece) refused to mix with Indians
She transferred her out of the school immediately to a neighbourhood school in Serangoon

She was like no racisim sentiments allowed to breed at such a young age
I applaud her really coz how many parents will actually do that!

choco B SG

I thought it was a publicity stunt like McMahon but apparantly not Confused

elindra SG

Yeah his wife and kid dead too
Who would hate them so much Shocked

gigabyte14 SG

that's why i'd say i have not much confidence in singapore's future Neutral

what's going to happen in singapore?

passing the baton to them in the near future, is it worth it?

how do we solve this?

it all depends on the parents now
