在新加坡，有一群人在参与一场激烈的战争……
他们起早贪黑，砸钱买房，身心俱疲，“勾心斗角”，皆因五个字——
天下父母心
战场一：做义工
天没亮，就做起了义工，没有薪酬，还要争得头破血流……这样的毅力，不是熬夜看世界杯能比的。
（培华长老会小学/清晨6:45am左右，一些坐校车的小学生开始陆续抵达，家长义工协助指挥交通)
他们中有很多是高管，上班时，穿西装打领带，光鲜亮丽…为了孩子能上小学，穿上黄马褂，做起监督员，扛水，擦玻璃……
（义工也有很多种，交通指挥、游泳课安全监督、体能测验协管）
工作日没时间，会选择牺牲周末。
（某企业高管，都要扛水搬东西）
而且义工也不是你想做就能做的。
一些学校，因为想做义工的家长太多了，就连义工名额也都是管理得非常严格！有些家长申请做义工都会被打回，瞬间绝望。
想当年金融大鳄罗杰斯为了让女儿上南洋小学，也是去学校做了义工，又搬家到学校一公里之内，才抢到了学额的。
当然这个阶段也存在风险，著名演员郑惠玉做了义工进入了这一阶段，却惨遭抽签不中，当年还成了大新闻。
（新加坡当年的一姐，郑惠玉）
为什么做义工？因为新加坡教育部规定家长义工必须做满40小时才可取得2B阶段报名资格。但一些非常热门的学校由于“供需关系“，把40小时提高到80小时，如南洋小学。
这些，就算拿钱都解决不了，在这项规定下面，全民平等。有人说，这比在中国难多了。
战场二：抢学区房
回想北京的天价学区房，犹如噩梦。
去年，为了孩子能就读北京实验二小，某家长以530万的价格，在北京西城区文昌胡同的深处一个杂草丛生的院子里，购买了11.4平米的一个仅能放下一张床的屋子，以每平米46万的单价创下了学区房单价的记录。
其实，新加坡也一样，虽没有“学区房”这一称谓，但它确实存在的。
为了上个好学校，搬家的搬家……
以南洋小学为例，1000米左右的楼盘价格如下：
（最便宜的都要$1700/平尺）
再加上前段时间新加坡买二套房再增加了5%印花税，学区房就更加“天价”了。
还有人出奇招，老大能上的就坚决拥护老大上，这样以后老二才有条坦途，“裙带关系”也都用上了。
如果报着侥幸心理，认为战火会过去，那就大错特错，目测，一大波中国父母正考虑着来到新加坡，加入这场混战，只是对于他们来说，会更加残酷。
家长为了孩子辞去工作，离开自己熟悉的生活圈，做起“陪读妈妈”。“陪读妈妈”们的艰辛，说多也是泪……
战场三：争名额
这是最近的核心战争。父母们因为新加坡各大小学都“名额不够”的问题，吵翻天了。
排名靠前的小学名额是有限的，再加上近些年低龄留学的发展，越来越多的人竞争那为数不多的小学名额。
有些家长为了获得更好的抽签机会，甚至会把小孩送进心仪小学的教育部幼儿园，只为了让孩子可以直接升入小学。这心机，我服~
那么问题来了，为什么读个小学还这么麻烦？
这就不得不提到在新加坡报名小学的流程了。为了照顾本国公民以及永久居民，在新加坡报名小学是分阶段开放的。
就在昨天，今年新加坡小学报名2A2阶段（报名阶段）结束了。这是一些比较热门的学校目前的情况：
（最近数据，仅作参考，请以教育部公布为准）
（2A2之后没用完的名额，平均分给2B和2C阶段。比如光华还剩8个名额，那么就2B、2C各分4个。那种奇数的就不知道是怎么分，得请教有经验的家长了）
最热门的其实是另外三所学校，但它们在上一阶段（2A1）已经把名额用完了，以致2A2没有名额，直接进入教育部强制保留20个名额的2B阶段。这三所学校是：圣尼格拉、公教、恒力。
卐慈、爱同、南洋、乐赛、培群在2A2都是报名人数超过名额的，也就是说，教育部会从这个顺序依次抽签：(1)公民住房1公里内、(2)公民住房1-2公里、(3)公民住房1公里外、(4) 永久居民住房1公里内、(5) 永久居民住房1-2公里、(6) 永久居民住房1公里外，名额抽完为止。
没有抽到的就只好往后面的阶段排队。如果符合2B阶段资格的，就到2B阶段报名、抽签，如不符合2B阶段资格，就到2C。下周二（26日），教育部就会正式公布2A2报名和抽签结果。
另，有些名校和颇有名气的学校在2A2阶段报名情况并没有想象中热烈，给2B、2C等后面的阶段留下不少名额，比如：
2B阶段可是竞争十分激烈的阶段，具备此阶段报名资格的是：
(1)学校义工；
(2)与学校有密切关系的教会或会馆义工；
(3)基层领袖。
2B阶段报名日期是本月19-20日。到时战况如何，拭目以待。
