mummy of three:
Pardon my being blunt. You reckon your dd will do badly without this tutor? 255 is a good score (at least to me la). I'm sure your dd deserves her share of credit.Better to get recommendation for private tutor with track records one.
That was how I got mine and my eldest got 255 for PSLE last year.
Anyway, it's so close to psle now. Surely all the good tutors are already booked out. Not saying those who are still available are not good hor

Most good and reputable tutors get booked out before the year even starts and their turnover rate is low. There is no need for them to really look for students. Students look for them.

Kids deserve as much credit if not more credit than the tutors. Tutors are just there to point the kids to the 'light'. The kids are ultimately the ones who are taking the exams. School teachers are also contributing to the results.
My friend is looking for P4 English tutor. All my tutor friends turned the assignment down cos they have no slots. If any parent genuinely has good tutor to recommend, please voice out. Thanks. -
Give credit to kids when they do well…tutors can do that much, but if kids do not want to help themselves, whatever tutor does is not going to work.
In a stressful environment, the kid might freak out…all the effort goes down the drain. So when kid does well getting 255, he/she deserves credit for braving through. -
just checking if it is safe to travel during the period of 22-30 dec? i heard new school posting result and orientation will be out during that time.

You can appoint a proxy to go to the posted school on your behalf. You just need to download and sign the proxy form and provide the necessary documents. The main thing is to let the school know that your child is taking up the place. If your child doesn't mind missing orientation (and there will be longer one when school starts), and you don't mind getting books and uniforms at the last minute, the orientation is not compulsory. Filling GIRO forms etc can be done on the first day of school. Anyway, would going in mid-Dec help? The school posting is usually a few days before Christmas and you might not be back yet. -
hi slmkhoo,
thks for the info, was thinking since 22th week is risky, perhaps 12-21 is good time to fly? -

Rather than guess, maybe you can try calling MOE to find out if they have already fixed the date(s) for the posting notification and reporting day? That's safer.hi slmkhoo,
