Hi doodbug


Which level is your child in? So did you find out fm the teacher regards to your child's ranking ?

Hi Chanelprincess,


I have kids in both P1 and P2 2013. I do not know where my son stands as I did not ask his teacher. However I think the grades are very very close at the lower primary levels so I don't think we need to read too much to the relative positions I think there are many kids who scored say, 92%, many kids scoring 93% etc at each grade. I don't think a child who scored say 92% is necessarily weaker than a child who scored say 95%, based on the type of assessments that were conducted this year. So long as you think your child has a fairly good foundation, and isn't too careless, I think it's fine

You saw the subject percentile tables right? That's another indication. If every subject beyond the 75th percentile, I guess, no cause to worry already lah hahahahahaha. I'm just taking it easy.

Hi doodbug


Yes he scored above 95% for all and even got 98% for Chinese
I was like :shock: coz we didn't speak mandarin at home

Anyway I think it's a good motivation for him if he knows where he stands among his peers.

Congratulations! He should be a prize winner then

errr we don't speak Chinese at home at all. I cannot recall my son's exact score but it was below 95% for English (argh! My husband and I speak good English at home, or so I thought.) but above 95% for Chinese (ha!). But we know better lah, that his Chinese competence is only blah. So take the results with a pinch of salt.

However, your kid is clearly among the top...so congrats!

While I am certainly curious about ranking, I am neutral on the policy as I don't want my kids to be motivated via rankings, nor do I want them to develop the mental model of wanting to beat their friends. I quite like a congenial environment at their age. Heh.
