:rotflmao:Buds is having a good time disturbing BeContented
:rotflmao:
CO for BeContented is Confirmed Offer from top school. CO for other people is just Confirmed Offer. Not neccesarily top school.
You know me better now, uh? :evil: -
GDragon,
you no need to study for SA1? I see u posting in quite a number of threads asking for info since some time back. Good that you are concerned with your PSLE, but dun spend too much time here. If wanna DSA especially via academics, SA1 results must not be too bad to stand better chance.
Whatever it is, most important is to spend time & tackle your studies first. Must focus & do well then see what options are available.
From a kapo parent.

Do parents noticed that this year students standard is not as good as last year? Dragon tends to be more clever. That's maybe the reason why parents are not so worry. Afterall, they only need to complete with the 'snake' kids only.
I disagree. Every child is different, maybe strong in one way and weak in other ways. There is no such things that 'Dragon' kids are better than 'snake' kids, vice versa. -

Your comment is insulting. -
ER, you joined the 2014 thread too? so which year is your DD having her PSLE? confused.
welcome again! -

Agree with ngl2010. Regardless of the year the child is born in, every child starts off with nothing and it really depends on the family, parents, the environment to nurture the child...Goodluck8:

I'm not going to critique how good or not good Dragon kids are...my kid is born in the Dragon year but I don't see her as smart or not...she's my kid and I will just make sure I do my best to teach her well and bring her well up as what father should....
Honestly, let's have some forum etiquette here...will you tell the same thing to your friends who are talking to you face to face?

I'm afraid I disagree with you that kids are born with 'nothing'. Every child has a certain basic genetic potential, some higher, some lower. Nurture and education will help kids maximise what they have, but not every child starts at the same level.
However, I agree with you that every cohort will have roughly the same spread - law of large numbers. -
Just wondering, if anyone already started planning "what to do" after PSLE?
Not holidays, but like any preparation courses for Sec 1, or tuition plans etc?
Do the kids still need to go back to school after PSLE and if they do, what do they do in school?
(I know it’s SA period, and still have prelims and the ACTUAL thing to prepare but my mind just can’t help wandering far off… so dun bash me! lolx). -
Bash you? Nah. From what you just posted, I can understand why your nick is ScaredyMum.
You think too far and it causes undue anxiety to u la. Take it slow but steady, ok? :hugs:
But to answer your question...
Different schools offer different post-PSLE activities/programmes for the students to unwind and/or pick up a skill like... from learning to play guitar or drums to picking up tennis or squash (etc). Some schools also schedule outings (excursions) or mini camps. So while students still hafta attend school as usual, there are programmes or activities in place for the P6 students up until the official school holidays. -
Haha thanks buds! No la, I'm not exactly feeling anxious, but bcos I tends to be \"slower\" in realising what's happening, I prefer to get advance info or plans ahead
I read another post somewhere about not letting them wander too far off after PSLE else difficult to pull them back. So I started thinking if I should continue with the tuition (but the current one-to-one is quite ex and not too sure how good she will be for Sec topics).
Thus I just wanted to know what other parents do for the kids after PSLE. Is there some kind of group class/preparation class or should I engage a different tutor (someone who is more familiar with the sec topics) and what subjects should I continue tuition with, what I can drop.
I dun wan to repeat the same mistake of realising he needs help too late :scared:
