DSA 2017
-
Students can’t cope in school for a variety of reasons be it DSA non-acad students or not. There are also suicide cases in top schools from top PSLE performing students too…I don’t think anyone should just discount the merits of the DSA Scheme, rather, let’s go in with an open eye and know what your child will be getting into.

True... but as a parent, I will never stress my child by enrolling her in a school that has COP way above her PSLE results. She will feel stressed to perform in both the sports/arts and studies. -

It is about percentages, i.e. are there a much larger proportion of non academic DSA students unable to cope? Only MOE and the school admin know the answer. From various sources, some of us know that a big proportion of non-academic DSA are finding life really tough, and many eventually dropped out of IP stream.
There are students who excel in both academic and CCA, but typically they are already very good in their academics since young. There are many sad stories out there, but local media seldom touch on it. As a result, many parents in every batch of P6ers continue to think that it is a no-brainer to squeeze their child into top schools via CCA DSA.
As for merits of DSA, I feel that it benefits the reputation of the top schools and parents over the well-being of the DSA students. If my DD does not do as well in her P6 prelims, I will probably reject the top school's CO, if offered. As a parent, I can handle a bit of social pressure much better than my DD at her young age. -

Not so fast too. Outcome will be out after school Prelim which will be last week of Aug. Maybe it will be 1 - 2 days earlier before 31 Aug.
