It's time of the year when Dept of Education has announced that children born in year 2000-2001 can go and register which school they want to study. Jo1 will in standard 1 in year 2008, but I have to decide which school now. As a mummy who sometimes "Kiasu" one I already get advice from my cousin who is a teacher, Jo1's school principal and a friend of mine.
Cousin's advice: Han Ming is the best Chinese school in Penang now. But too far away from my house. So, it's out
Penang Chinese Girl School which is the most famous one, but traffic problem due to most parents tend to drive their kids to school instead of school bus.
Shang Wu has started their morning school from Standard 1 - 6 last year. Will be a great idea if I want Jo1 to be in morning school, 4 classes for each grade.
Principal's advice: Whether the school is famous or not is not important. Convenient wise, don't send yr kids to school too far away and have to wake up very early and come home late. The study habit of the kids, parents, teacher play the most important role. According to her, if u go to a famous school and the kid not willing to study also wasted.
Friend's advice: Her daughter is in Convent. According to her, this is a very strict school, the security is good. With good headmaster, and teachers. They teach S'pore English and with homework. The only thing I don't like is this school is 100% female, no boys allowed. So, which mean if Jo2 cannot go to the same school as Jo1.
So, I am still undecide which school is the best....
