[quote=\"Dino mummy\"]Hi all

I read somewhere that psle result will be released on 21 Nov 14, is it true? Hw, I cant remb where I read from ....
I m booking a short holiday fr 16 Nov till 19 or 20 Nov, worry wht in time for DS to collect his result on time. Thanks..

Either 21 Nov 2014 (Friday) or 24 Nov 2014 (Monday) I think most likely to be on 21 Nov so that enough time is given to children and parents to decide which school to choose.

After the last paper, you will find yourself suddenly left with nothing to do....too drastic a change from the madness. Go a little easy in the meantime, take a breather. Take care.

oh, then is ds turn...I really no energy to look at his studies now.

After this I will be busying planning for our holidays.

After my son's PSLE, I was burnt out. No energy left to revise with daughter too.

Its the same for me too. Couldn't recover from the burnout after my dd's PSLE. My ds' PSLE was affected to a certain extent.

I'm kinda worried n gancheong about the psle, but far from feeling burned-out. The above posts make me feel like I am not doing enough :oops:


Heng the exams will be here soon. Too late to do anymore pushing. I'm shifting to lower gears n letting dd go on auto pilot next week onwards.

zbear,the feeling after psle sucks...I felt so burnt out accompanying my son on his 'marathon'. daughter was in p2 and having her first sa2 then...but I was helpless and couldn't go near to any books. my shoulders ached and I felt so breathless.


bebebub,
it's too near to psle to go full gear...don't allow the child to be burnt out at this point in time.

actually we may be able to get hints if we observe school calendars. Some sec schools has already indicatively put their semester 2 calendar for Open house out. Normally open house is the 1st Sat after results release?

I like this blog written by this blogger.


\"He went on to say that many parents in our society got it the other way round. Many pursue their careers and leave their babies and little ones with others, be it grandparents, babysitters, maids, childcare. Ten years later, the mothers start to resign from their job to stay home, because PSLE is coming, they’ve got to be there for their kids to make sure they do well for it!

“But by then it is too late,” he said, “If you can, stay home for your kids, especially during the early years.”

Stay at home for the kids…watch over them as they grow.

Don’t quit your job or take no pay leave because of PSLE.
There are highs and lows being a SAHM…but it is worth it.

All the best to the kids sitting for PSLE…you have put in lots of effort and at this point in time, rest well for the marathon.
Focus on your own paper, ignore what goes on around you.

OMG... haze is back and some of us at home has viral attack.


very hard that ds is free from all the viral and haze impact till 1st October.... What bad timing for haze to be back.

Now it sets me wondering, what happens if a child has fever and is unwell during PSLE??? I know for extreme cases like dengue fever, they used prelim results. But what about fever, respiratory issues ? These are enough to make the child lose concentration.

[janet88]

psle is always the time haze is around.

frustrating to have to put up with this year after year.
