Any Updates As To When PSLE T-Scores Will Be Scrapped?
-
Just curious, top schools usually are highly sought after. Don’t forget, mixing prawns & har bee together in a big pot also could mean for every har bee they take in, they have to let go 1 lobster or 1 abalone. How many parents can take it when their lobster cannot get into RI/HCI/ACSI/NUSH etc (child’s dream school) due to limited seats taken up by har bees and not because their children don’t qualify

in that case meritocracy becomes 骂你多该死 -
Many parents are ‘Is ok, cannot go top school, 2nd tier also good, nearer to home, not so competitive, then my child will have more opportunity to shine, lower school fees, etc.’
But when their child performs well, they will be ‘Don’t opt for top school is like wasted huh? School brand is still important, will look good in their records.’ Can or cannot cope, enter first then think how to solve the coping problem.
So ultimately parents will still push their kids to perform well, set a higher goal for the children to achieve.
Even in tier 2, 3, 4 schools, there will still be ranking, the type of students in the school, the Principal, the teachers, the location of the school, etc.
Hence, in order to let their child enter the parents’ choice of schools, many will still push the child to achieve good results and try to groom them to be above others to increase their chances of entering their desired school.
So whatever systems we have, we will encourage our child to achieve excellency and stress will still be present.
I would think if these 12-yo kids can take the challenge, they can soar higher. Parents need to do balancing, take care of their own expectations of their own kids. When your kid cannot run fast, you don’t stop other kids to slow down.
Instead give your child full support and tell your kid even if he/she is not the winner, in the parents’ view, our own child will always be the winner in any aspect. -

But many parents think their kids are lobster. Force feed the haybees to look like baby lobster. But then discover later haybee is still haybee, and no matter how force feed also cannot grow as big as a lobster. Then lagi more stress.
PSLE T-scores cannot tell the difference between force fed haybee and baby lobster. The abalone probably kena thrown away because don't even look like the same kind of creature. -
If each school have haybees and lobsters, wouldn’t the lobsters will get all the leadership positions? Then where the haybees learn to be leaders?

Not always true coz many lobsters are not very likeable...n some hay bee has charisma -

And many more lobsters shun leadership position / roles. Whether charisma or curry smell, they should taste good in curryngl2010:

Totally agree. But it takes courage and objectivity.When your kid cannot run fast, you don't stop other kids to slow down.

Maybe it will blur the line next time when the tier 2 schools become tier 1..so 50 years down the road, it gets blurer and blurer and there will be 10 tier 1 schools!
