2019 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2007)

[phtthp]

heard rumors that maybe, one of the batches will be hit by changes to Psle.

That is : entry to Secondary schools won’t depend on T-score alone anymore, but depend on other selection criteria, as well : in the same way, as how O level students now entering A level Junior colleges.
We going to be banded.

Not sure which batch going to be hit -
born 2006, or 2007 (ours), or 2008 ?

any parent hear from your school Principal say, something like this ?
seems like 2006, 2007 born will be hit.

But I sent her to P3 small group tuition class when she was in P1 (Jan 2014), her tuition teacher expected them to complete the zuowen (作文 4 pictures) with 300 words and a few helping words, she was unable to complete it during her first lesson, she spent about another 1.5 to 2hrs with 200 words at home, I wanted to help her but she rejected my offer, her tuition teacher gave 60% to her, we were happy with her score and attitude.

This year she is in P4 class then? :yikes:

We did not hear anything for our school so I guess 2015 PSLE is not influenced by the new system.

Psle 2015 : is not hit

at the parents meet Principal meeting -
heard that pioneering batch hit might be either kids born 2006, or 2007. I really dread this un-welcome change. But info very vague : something about being banded, just like in O level.
Hence, need further clarification, from parents of other primary schools, if they heard anything similar from their school Principal, regarding this.

Icy mama - so the new psle method for those who born in 2007? I hope not.

So, if started on 2006 or 2007, our 2007 kids will be affected by the new PSLE system. 2019 will be the first or second batch!
