      There are smart kids and there are exam-smart kids. The smart kids will always be smart, the exam-smart, well, what happens when they reach a point in life when there are no more exams?! :!:

        yalo, why not scrap PSLE as a whole... :idea:

        that will be perfect.


        but then hor, all the parents will feel unsecure... 😛 😛

        :celebrate:

        That is unthinkable.... How will kids be placed into secondary school? All will rush to affiliated schools then we will have other set of problems.

          unless the whole education system is restructured (e.g, the enrolment to sec is purely based on proximity, no top sec school, no IP...etc.etc....), PSLE is still in need....

            Sorry don't mean to argue against you...just wanted to add one more category to complete the picture, there are also smart and exam-smart kids.

              also no need to worry about those kids who are exam smart only.

              if they are not streat smart to become CXO, they can carry on with research, become scientist…

              streat smart or exam smart, if smart, they will achieve somewhere in their career life…

                do you find that the exam-smart end up working for the street smart (or plain smart)?

                  if the street smart is also exam-smart, yes.

                        before i :offtopic: , one more thing to add (for fun only):
                        If exam-smart-only is willing to work for street-smart-only, that is becoz exam-smart-only can earn higher than street-smart-only. e.g, Income for a qualified actuarial is higher than that of GM....
