Finally, the agonising is over! Boy am I glad that he has secured a place in the school of our choice – without having to go through balloting. Otherwise, I’ll be blaming myself for not doing anything during the past year to ensure a proper foundation for my son’s future is laid. In fact, the truth is, I haven’t done a single thing about his primary one registration. Not one bit unless nail biting and head scratching count for something.
Everything was handled by his dad, who took time to go through the enrollment process, read various forums for inputs and went on-site to check out the school grounds. He even made sure he was down at the school first thing during that morning of registration. The only thing I did was to tell him that I hope we won’t end up like those parents who cry when their kid isn’t successful during the balloting.
Someone wrote in a forum that parents shouldn’t complain about the primary one enrollment system here given that we have six years to plan for our kids’ education. HA. The best I can do is six days. And I still like to complain that the system sucks!
Our system is much worse than yours.

This is good news.
Here.. if you want to enter a good school and it’s not near to where you live, it’ll depend on your connections as well as how much ‘donation’ you give.
