Oh My Gosh:
Ya, I think the levels of expectation, competition and pressure were not so intense then as today. We may not have made it so easily if we are in this generation. Actually, in the environment these days, our kids are already quite a resilient lot. The parents are also the product of the stressful environment.
I always asked .. :Am I to kiasu or kancheong?\" Cos I do not remember my parents fussing AT ALL for my PSLE and I did well to go to a SAP school...janet88:
Mrskiasu,
I was at popular yesterday to pass time...happened to meet 2 mummies looking at science assessment titles...their daughters are also sitting for PSLE. Looks like we are the worried ones but kids are oblivious to what is ahead.

I think buying assessment books provide a sense of security for parents. Feel more in control as if they are doing something to help their children.

At least that is my motivation for buying assessment books.... and then give away to my friend brand new because objective achieved liao :rotflmao: -
When faced with shelves stacked full of science assessment books, we 3 mummies cant buy as our kids will be the last batch using the old syllabus. The present new titles are all new syllabus.
It was nice talking to the 2 ladies, sharing our feelings about the kids taking PSLE. -

My DD SA1 starting from next week, everyday she comes home with bundles of home work from school and don’t have much time for revision. I feel very bad when i look at her, but i try to make out time for small wishes that she asks to make her feel more comfortable and to relieve stress. As a parent that is what we can do now.
