My boy says HCL not tough. Finally it's over. :rahrah:

My DD said it was ok too.

Glad to hear that.

Whatever they are studying today is so different from what we studied before (haha, that's why tuition businesses thrive!), even language subjects are so different...the format, the bombastic words they learn and got to use. It's accelerated learning they have to adapt to :sad: at such a young age.


Nonetheless, it's time to destress! Let them go enjoy their well deserved break. We need that too. Go bond with them and show them we care :snuggles:

tigressina,

You took the words out of my mouth!

Kids deserve lots of hugs & affirmation after a major milestone. Whatever the results, I always let kids know I see their effort, and celebrate their perseverance to complete their tasks and we do things with them as a family - kids' things (as parents we bring them for their ice-skating or rock-climbing tho we hardly know how to but hey, just hv fun together), daddy's things (men's hobby such as car rides, photography and let the kids hv a go with daddy's guidance), mummy's things (snorkeling, baking, whatever).

They'll learn, they'll grow & ustand that exams (PSLE O/ levels) are just passing snapshots of life. More to come, but each trials & tribulations they'll see their muscles stronger in every area (decision-making muscles, reflexes, coping with stresses, etc) as they develop into adulthood, they need mummy/daddy to let them go abit, abit and abit more & they're flying on their own to conquer their new world!

Chill mummies & daddies with the family! Don't look back, you can change nothing. Look forward as you can curve your new path.

Congratulations to all children and parents who have completed the PSLE. I have two boys go through this and while we have not yet come to A levels nothing has so far beat the stress of PSLE.

Please remember to reward your children and yourselves for the hard work!

Looking at how my DD enjoyed herself so much when we allowed her to play console games after she completed her papers yesterday (like a freed bird being released from cage) and how she slept through soundly like a baby, I can only pity her that our education system has taken a toll on her at such a young age. Being my first born, I have a lot of hopes and dreams for her. But reality is different. We must learn how to accept the truth. Every individual is different. Kids have tried their utmost best despite papers were being set tough or tricky. I chose to believe that the system is harsh on them at such young age. Poor kids. Once my European colleague said this to me \"I can't believe you Singaporeans make your kids attend nursery and preschool education at such at young age...where is childhood, where is fun?\" Sigh, yes, this is how important Asians value education...


So come the results release day, it will be nerve wrecking for all, including the kids. But being parents, we must continue to give them our moral support and guidance, regardless of how their score is. All they need is assurance, love and care from their mommy and daddy.

Totally agree with you! :hugs:

Hi,

Does anyone has arranged a proxy during PSLE results collection? Is the process is feasible ? The rest formalities we can do online while overseas.

Did that in 2011 when my daughter did her PSLE. Just fill in the proxy form (from MOE website) and provide the documentation listed on the form. It's quite straightforward.
