So you missed out on every one of the earlier Phases to get your child in the school you desire.  Now, you are faced with trying to succeed in the highly stressful Phase 2C.

While it is true that Phase 2C is stressful because everyone is trying to get into the very popular schools, and that everyone should just stick to the very sensible rule of thumb of going for the nearest school to their homes that are unlikely to feature balloting, we are KiasuParents afterall.  And KiasuParents don't go out without a fight, no matter how slim the chance.

I have moved the petition to here. Here is the Facebook Page. People complain that we are a tuition/enrichment nation without evaluating the reasons for it. We are a tuition nation because PSLE standards behave like a runaway train that even MOE’s teachers cannot cope with, thus students need tuition.

Here's the 2010 edition of our annual Kiasu Analysis of PSLE results.

Finding #1 - Top Honors

Without a doubt, 2010 is likely to be etched in the annals' of Rosyth's history as the Year-When-We-First-Believed.   For not only did Alex Tan grab top honors for the school with his red hot T-score of 282, two other of his peers from Rosyth entered the national top 10 list too.  With this feat, Rosyth moved up 2 places from 5th position to be amongst the Big Three schools in KiasuParents.com's academic power rankings.

Phase 3

23 July 2010:

Phase 2B 2010 is over.  The only thing remaining is the balloting for those in the following school highlighted in RED.  A hearty congratulations those who managed to get into their desired schools in this round!  For those who have to sit through the nail-biting session of balloting, hang in there.  Even if you do not win the ballot, there's still a Phase 2C to try again!
