2017 PSLE Discussions and Strategies

[hypergatak]

Actually I find it quite strange for some parents to ask others not to discuss about the PSLE paper or questions or answers. If you yourself do not want to discuss, just don’t visit the forum. Why is there a need to dish out unsolicited parenting tips?

Just my personal opinion, since this is a public forum, and the topic is 2017 PSLE, I believe that anyone can post and ask questions about the exams (questions and answers). Parents want to know for various reasons. For example, those with DSA CO/WL especially from schools not of their first choice, would really want to have a better feel on how their children have fared in the exams, to decide later if they should accept the offer or to reject and wait for PSLE results. In order to do this, it is important for these parents to have a more accurate and realistic feel about their children's performance to make that important decision by end Oct. As long as these parents know the potential impact on their children when they try to find out how they did, I find it perfectly fine to share questions and answers. Isn't this suppose to be a sharing forum? As for parents who do not want to know about the questions and answers for fear of negatively affecting their children, then as some KSP parents did before, just avoid this thread during this period then.


I don't intend to start a \"fight\", but I think we are all adults and we should be able to make sensible decisions best for ourselves. So I support parents who want to check and share about the difficulty of the paper (questions and/answers) to continue posting on this public forum, but also parents who want to avoid this thread because they don't want to be affected. Of course, unless Chief Kiasu and the mods think otherwise. Don't flame me, my two cents worth... :siam:

Maybe need to rename this thread as '2017 PSLE Parent Support Group'

well meaning parents are just trying to soothe the nerves of parents.

There are some parents who wish to know how their child perform during Psle, in order to decide whether or not to accept or reject the DSA offer : especially if the offer doesn't come from their child's ideal Secondary school.

Yeah. Totally agreed the anxiety of some parents or perhaps children wanting to know some assurance to the questions. Some wanting to gauge the difficulties of the paper so as to determine the DSA offer (only some). While there are others who might try even harder after knowing certain paper is difficult. We can’t stop them or even deter them.


Perhaps some parents who don’t want to know then pls don’t come to this forum.
