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
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.
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. -

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! -

But that's life, be it as a student or in the workforce, haybee that looks like lobster will be treated like lobster until they are revealed to be otherwise. Even at 50, someone full of BS can still climb up the corporate ladder, who can differentiate between a real lobster and a lobster pretender?lee_yl:

Regardless the assessment system, so long there are ways to game the system, forced feeding will take place. To be freed from all these, either you have more assessments to slowly filter off the lobster pretenders stage by stage or have an ecosystem that is accommodative of all, be they haybee or lobster or abalone. -

That's why I prefer the latter, and think that MOE's proposal to do away with T-scores is a good idea. -
To me, one of the main sources of pressure is the introduction of IP to so many schools. Had MOE only implemented IP for RI and HCI family of schools, most parents would not be so hung up about the PSLE results as they know that IP is only meant for the top 3% of the cohort. But with IP open up to so many schools, parents would want to give a shot.
There are consequences for not getting into IP at PSLE as the number of available places in good JCs for O-levels is small and the entry threshold extremely difficult to meet.
