cool_hi:
Actually, breaking this down a little:Usually hubby don't bother much about kids studies+
Super busy at work..
But this breaking news make him message me immediately..
Sigh!!
Son kena 1st batCh.. :yikes:
:gloomy: :stompfeet:
Haiz!! I have no intention for him to join cca until p3,
But now...?? How!?? What??!
Haiz
This is definitely bringing more stress,
As i would rather spend the time to build up his reading in both languages,
As he is very weak,
Rather than spending precious time on CCA!!!
Haiz!!!
1) Are you actually intending to let your kid go in via DSA-CCA in the first place?
2) If not, then just go the normal PSLE route and get to the relevant school based on results.
3) If yes, then will need to do the homework & know the pros/ cons of this DSA thingy -
Hmm… Won’t everyone be trying to aim for A1, instead of A2? Not unlike the current system, aiming for A*, rather than just A? So how does it reduce stress? Unless there is a change in curriculum, changing the grading system alone does not reduce the stress.

Choosing a primary school becomes the most crucial decision.
If you look at some schools, they have a wide range of CCAs and some special talent programs.
They groom their students in the CCAs, active in competitions and opportunities given to students to participate in various competitions.
More schools will reflect their CCAs achievements from now on.
Schools with affiliation will be in demand because the affiliated secondary school would want to keep these talents.
I feel is like shifting stress from one area to another
Academic enrichment centers will work with non-academic enrichment centers to promote holistic learning,and advertise 'How to groom your child to be a multi-talented special kid'
:moneyflies: for parents. What child subsidies will never be enough -

\"now not just good enough to excel academically, but important to be holistically, an all rounder\"
parents need to pump in more $ per child, to tuition Cca, as well -
Teachers : Heng ah!
School coaches/ instructors : Walao eh!
External coaches/ instructors : $$$$$$ -
Zappy:
more business opportunity open up for External Cca coacher/ instructor, but also more stress for themTeachers : Heng ah!
School coaches/ instructors : Walao eh!
External coaches/ instructors : $$$$$$
if they fail to train the children in the school up to clinch Gold award at SYF, after 2 or 3 years, school can change them anytime, look for replacement. Hence, more stress for Trainers -
After reading , feel \"scary \"

[quote]PSLE grading will also no longer be based on how pupils do relative to their peers, as it is now, he explained, adding that the hope is that this will encourage students to focus on their own learning rather than competing to do better than their peers.[/quote]
Why does this mean? -
MyPillow:
It's only as scary as one makes it out to be. Most kids are normal kids - not the exceptional art/music talents, and most will qualify via PSLE results.After reading , feel \"scary \"
