没错.估计以后也只能靠这个..倒是体育学院离我们很近, 周末不少人去玩车模, 航模

<P>“你必须在2003年六月前开始做义工，2003年六月30前完成40小时。”</P>
<P>抱歉笔误，应是2004年六月30前完成40小时。</P>
<P>别小看了那些义工的工种。有的是做课外活动的辅导员，肯定需要professional （电脑，艺术，生命科学。。。）。还有专业网球，足球教练等。可便宜了那些学校了。</P>
<P>炒馃条的就一边儿站去吧。</P>

<P>抱歉跟贴有些晚。具体的信息(比如你的孩子2005年一月入学，2004年七月的注册要求）见如下：</P>

<P>phase2B 就指的是做义工的category. 你必须在2003年六月前开始做义工，2003年六月30前完成40小时。当然你心仪的学校必须接收你（据本地朋友说去好学校报名做义工就更去大公司应聘一样得递一份完全而有竞争的简历）。</P>
<P>太名牌的如CHIJ(st Nicholas)phase2B今年也抽签来着。</P>

<P>No. You guessed wrongly. I am not doing any volunteer work. My husband and me are not the most "Kia su" type. Will probably let my daughter enroll in a nearby neighborhood school, which is a reasonable one according to people we know, and it's just 3 minutes' walk from our house. Travelling too far is not good for a small kid anyway. Don't want to give her too much pressure also. Learning is a life long experience. Her interest in study is the most important thing to me at this young age.</P>
<P>Though it's definitely not good to go for a known "bad" school, e.g. disciplinary cases.</P>
<P>But my local friends would say it worths the effort of 40 hr in exchange for 6 years' education. I would agree too. It's just I don't think I can spare the time for it and I am already busy with my own work and wouold rather spend this 40 hr to play with my daughter.</P>
<P>Unfortunately the good schools only pick the highly competent parents for volunteer work, if they have a choice to. School cleaning will only be done by engaged "professional" cleaning companies. That's the reality.</P>

<P>我之所以这么想..是因为有了老二.这样努力一下..把老大弄个好点的学校, 老二也就可以"坐享其成"了..hehe..比较好的政府小学有哪些呢?MOE的网上看不出什么名堂.看来还是要多下功夫啊..打算学孟母三迁, 反正是在教育机构做工, 为了孩子转去小学做工,我看也不是什么大不了的牺牲吧, 又回到校园也许我会更开心些. 做义工也在考虑之中..</P><P>一句话..做家长, 为人父母真是不容易啊..各位如果有认识在校的老师, 麻烦给引见一下. 我要打算制定三年计划, 来给孩子创造点机会, 剩下就是看他们努力了.</P>
