Results should be out 24 or 25 Nov. Managing expectations is very useful. But challenging as it goes against my other value which is to remain positive and you will get positive results…LOL!
This year, I suspect we will see some very big T-scores with some large variations. The "bell-curve" is likely going to be narrow what with the high level of difficulty of the Science paper and a Math paper that was not as easy as the last few years. Very anxiety-provoking moments indeed! -

it's easier said than done if we want to manage expectations...TOUCHWOOD...accept my child's results whatever it may be and most importantly, she is happy and alive, not lying at the bottom of the flat.Results should be out 24 or 25 Nov.

mum has a friend who is a teacher. she told mum this year's psle will be tough because the last few years have been relatively easy. -
I think if our child feels the same as the majority about the difficulty of the papers, then results should be ok bah? (majority means mean or median)…
I think my child is more concerned about departing the P6 class…they have been together for 3 years and it’s gonna be a bitter-sweet experience on P6 graduation day next week.
For me, get into EXPRESS can liao… -

Yes, the concerns and anxieties of a parent and child who has a DSA CO in hand are quite different from the rest who don't.I think if our child feels the same as the majority about the difficulty of the papers, then results should be ok bah? (majority means mean or median)....

daughter had her graduation party last friday...she told us there was laughter at the beginning and lots of tears at the end...although they are in different classes, many were once classmates in lower/mid level and the thought of going separate ways does make one feel sad. even though the balloon has shrunk, she still refuses to throw...the tee given to the p6s is worn almost every day (wash and wear).

it's a very important day for all of us and we should not miss it. it's also the last day they will be in their primary schools.
sec 1 is a different stage...some start to rebel (they think they are no longer in primary school). -

My DS Sci tutor cautioned him during his prelims that PSLE would not be easy coz those who got into IP for the last 3 years(probably due to easier papers translated to higher t-score) were struggling in the program..So probably MOE tried to set things back to \"normal\"mode...

it makes sense...but it's stressful when the exam is tough and the kids are demoralized.
