We are all parents. We can understand but for ur own sanity and well-being do keep calm and stay relaxed. Things are beyond your control at this moment.

how to avoid kpo parents...
Just ignore them with a smile. If they ask more, then just said the result is good enough to enter the dream secondary. Otherwise, just ignore them. -

hahahahaha what to do, I know a lot of people cos I appear in school so many times…

For those transparencies statistics, aiya, I have my sources to get those immediately after being flashed. -

Did a shortlist of schools for all score ranges already. I will avoid looking at my kid’s expression at the moment of truth. Rather get delayed telecast.

Sharing some of my thoughts here after reading some of the posts…
I think our responses as parents are very important to our children at this stage of their lives. Although repeatedly I told my children that grades doesn’t matter and what it really matter was their attitudes in the process of preparing for the exam and their responses to the results, I am concern that on the results’ day I may express otherwise…Do not underestimate the importance of a father’s love and acceptance… (mum too!)
So I have practiced a bit on how to express myself well to my DS…going through my mind the various scenarios… haa! Like results is far expectations, within expectations, below expectations or far below expectations… My DS is worth all of this and more…
I had talked at length with my wife too about this… we decided that we must let this PSLE results’ day be a Day of wonderful memories. My ds is more important and precious to me n my wife than any grades… Swee, good, bad or ugly… we will be cheering all the way…
I know there are many "schools" of thoughts about the importance of PSLE results some espousing that it does not really matter in the long run… But imho, for a primary school kid whose only major exam so far is the PSLE, it is a pretty BIG event.! Either it became a stepping stone to go forward or it is a stumbling block in their memories and I am determine to make this a stepping stone for my DS…
In the meanwhile, I have been talking with him about managing expectations and how to rejoice with friends who do well and comfort those who do not.
