:yikes: I didn't know that! What are the changes?? -
Fyi
What happen, if a P6 student at psle, for some reasons or other, failed to sit for a paper ?
Can be in any of the 4 subjects
SEAB will just take the SA2 results of P5, P6, plus P6 prelim results, to determine your Psle score, for that particular subject paper missed sitting :-

Shortly in a few weeks' time, in the 1st week of November, P3 SA2 papers will be given back to students to check their answers' scripts, one by one.
For whatever reasons, if your P3 child did not perform according to expectations, pls do NOT cane the poor child. Instead, comfort him / her by saying \"Never mind, is all right. Next time, try harder, will be fine \".
Every child is precious.
It is very, very sad to hear tragedy like this happening to a P5 child. This poor boy is only 2 years older than our kids. So pitiful

Straits Times reported of a Pr 5 boy, who committed suicide from 17th floor in May.
Reason :
He failed Higher Chinese and Maths.
His mom expected him to get at least 70 marks. For the shortfall, his mom will gently hit him on his palm. The boy experienced fear, rejection and lack of competence. He took off from his window flat.
Before that, he told his mom that his results were average.
Teen suicide had escalated and this year, 2 students from a high profile Secondary school / affliated JC committed suicide, one week after each other. MOE is paying close attention, to this.
Please praise your child, for the effort he/she puts in. We can never tell, if a child have learning difficulties. Sometimes, this learning difficulty goes undetected, until much later in Secondary school.
nowadays, there are children who refuse to go to school as well, as students who have friendship problems and thoughts of suicide. No school is spared. Some counsellors (sent from MOE) are visiting schools now, to understand better the emotional needs of children, and what schools are doing to help them.
Children need love and support. We must always cheer them on, for whatever effort they put in.
A lot of educated parents cannot accept that their children are not scoring, or their peers are doing better than them. This tragedy is so sad. Help your children to accept failures, and build their resilience.
in our batch of P3 kids -
in my kid’s school, during recess time, one schoolmate shared with her, "I am very scared of weekly 听 写. My mom said if I don’t get 100 marks for 听 写, she won’t let me enter the house."
What happened was during classroom 听写 : sometimes when she doesn’t know how to write a character in Chinese, she will cry on the spot in class. Such is the fear, inside her. Poor girl ! Please don’t be this type of mother. -
Very stress if my mom were to tell me get 100 marks
