Then Zoe's kids go where? Send overseas?

wah I respect the Nanyang school system. dam fair. If I am a normal mortal parent who got his child in and Zoe did not, then I will be even more impressed at how fair this school is and know that the principal/school has a good value system

It's not that Nanyang has a fair system, just that the couple didn't do any research before volunteering.

If the principle dares to accept the couple's son for next year P1 education, the principle must be prepared to face the consequence.... Very Happy

Number of places in Phase 2B is less than the number of vounteers, grass root leaders etc (those eligible for Pahse 2B).
Being such a case, priority will be given to less than 1 km first , then 1-2km and then above 2km.
Do not know where Zoe Tay stays but i do not think it's within 1km of Nanyang. (likely she is above 2km). So no chance.

After Zoe...now we have Mark.

I think hor...that these elite schools should reserve x % for kids with non-elite parents...in that way, the eliteness can spiral down to the masses.

The problem is how to differentiate between elite and non elite parents without causing unhappiness

easy lah

Just use SQ membership status e.g.

Krisflyer Blue/Silver (neighbourhood),
Gold (Red Swastika, Mahabodhi, Kong Hwa etc),
PPS (ACS, Methodist, Bukit Panjang etc)
Solitaire (Nanyang, Tao Nan, Raffles Girls, Rosyth etc)
