2013 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[mummy so kiasu]

Sspitfire:

Any parents whose DD/DS is studying in AISS?

Currently thinking on which stream to go to (if pass No confidence..), Express or NA?
Express: Foundation Maths, can't keep up with Standard. Do AISS allow Express students to take Foundation Maths?

Normal Acad: Somehow manageable, but Sec 4, My brother said that Sec 4 the NA students will start to suffer because of the very hard exams

If T score under 200 should consider N(T). If your child took foundation Math for PSLE then chances of him to go N(T) is higher.

Really hope no freak outcome.

Yes, this is actually my biggest concern as well.

DS was told to come to school on 22 Nov, 11.30am. Results will be announced at 12pm.

DS didn't tell me. I'm guessing he doesn't want me to worry... in case my worrying stresses him up

We were told to report at 1045 cos results are released at 11am - same as mmm’s dd.


Btw, could parents share what you look out for in a sec school when filling up the S1 option form, besides the usual considerations of CCAs, distance etc. now that banding of sec schools are no longer made public?

The reason why I am asking is because my friend is really pleased that the new principal in St Anthony’s Canossian used to be the principal of NYGH. Earlier in the year, she was considering other schools in the east, but after she found out about this, she has made up her mind to put st Anthony’s as her first choice.

Does the track record of the principal influence your decision regarding which school you choose for your DCs? It didn’t occur to me to find out which p is heading the school when making my choice.

BeContented,


How is your DD? Is she better?

The P may play some part in shaping the school. But it takes time for changes to take effect. And before you know, it's time for a new P. The current P of Nush had great ideas before he became P Of nush. However the ideas could not materialise in the school he was in because of the make of the school culture, students and teachers there. But his vision worked great in nush.
Don't think SAC can be transformed overnight into Nygh. Some food for thought.

BeContented,


How is your DD? Is she better?

No x-ray eye cannot see beyond her cast leh. Only know losing lotsa muscles & mass from knee & below..... getting skinnier since the cast gets looser. Still gotta wait for another 2weeks b4 next review.

But generally she's ok lah, just whine sometimes about no freedom & play. thanks.
