What an idiotic thing to do for a parent to intentionally close off future business opportunities for their children by limiting their exposure to other languages.Originally Posted by stalingrad

Block 11 within 1 km from Nan Hua but also very near the AYE.Originally Posted by pinkamoon
To me, parents play an important part in nuturing the children. We cannot blame the school nor the teachers for failing to teach them well. When you point 1 finger at the others, you are pointing the rest of your fingers at yourself...
well saidOriginally Posted by pinkamoon
But the school does play an impt role as well
imagine you send your kids to good school ( or snob school) ....and everyone speaks just english .. and fail chinese .. to the child, thats ok becos everyone else in his class is not doing well in chinese either ..

Does the parc have a side gate closer to the AYE? If you measure the distance from the main entrance near West Coast Rd, the parc is much further to the MRT than Hundred Trees.Originally Posted by james8899

Looking at the Grand Plan (posted by Kon2 at page 7 of this thread), I believe there are side gates at both sides of the development.
It seems that the side gates are at West Coast Walk, not sure if there are any from at HDB side though. If there isn't, the walking distance to MRT should be further than Hundred Trees.Originally Posted by Cactus72

I have a 2 and a half year old son. In order to let him have a head start in languages, I started to teach him simple English and Chinese at 9 months. He can read short sentences in both languages now.Originally Posted by proud owner
My point is: if parents can set aside time for their children, they will pick up good reading habits. Then, we do not have to worry about not having a strong language foundation. I cannot deny that teachers are important, but most children have short attention span. We cannot expect them to absorb everything that the teachers say. Once again, parents have to revise the work learnt at home.
I personally do not mind if my son is in a good school or not. What is important is that he has self confidence. Self-fufiling prophecy always works. I hope that he can be an outstanding pupil in an ordinary school rather than an ordinary pupil in a so-called 'good' school.
Just my two cents' worth...
i totally agree...Originally Posted by pinkamoon
sending children to so called good schools .. when half the pupils are snobs from rich families ..
remember the Hwa chong student, who punched a bus driver becos the driver scolded his girl friend ??
he has no upbringing at all .. so what he is from hwa chong ? a real disappointment ..

i heard owners have difficulty selling their units and even paying off stamp duties for this project and it is a flop. Any agents here can testify to that?

Thanks for correcting the mistake.Originally Posted by jlrx
hi all....anyone planning to get a unit at the Parc Condo? Went down on a sat afternoon and saw that certain blocks (1,3,5,7) face the afternoon sun directly.
Saw that the "curtains" for most of the blocks are down except last 2. Wonder if the TOP is achievable by 3Q
I am trying to get a unit
Did you get the info from URA website? How could they even make such simple calculation mistakes?

$1079psf is ridiculous for The Parc. I heard the project is negative equity, how is it someone managed to sell at this price?
Who did u hear from? I think market prices have exceeded the purchase price for most owners.
Carabelle last transacted near 900psf. Should be seeing more 1000+psf transaction soon. Might go higher after Clementi central revamp is completed?
Only 1 unit sold in December?Originally Posted by URA
Anyone selling units from this development?
(3 BR and above)
