Secondary 2 Streaming

floppy:
fully agreed!
The subject that the student is interested in, is the one that he / she will do well generally. The subject that he /she is least interested in, will be the most difficult paper, regardless of what was actually being tested.werrelecat:
...
Can you tell me which subjects do students do well generally and the paper is less difficult for Pure Humanities and SS ?nationwide
...
That said, Literature is generally tougher for Singapore students because of our system 'structural' challenges and lower level of maturity / life experiences for many of them to appreciate those text. -
sec 2 streaming result will be released tomorrow.
I only need to know if she will be allocated to a class taking POA and food & nutrition.

Eng, 2 Maths, combined Humanities, POA, F&N, Combined Sci (?) -
MyPillow:
she cannot do A math...she flunked E math. so likely it will be English, combined science, ss/geography, POA and F&N.

Janet,
If your daughter doesn’t like nursing, is all right, but make sure she has some idea what she intend to study at Polytechnic & then ensure she has the entry subject requirements, for the Diploma course she interested in. Bring her to the Polytechnic Open house next year, 2019.
POA can provide her a good foundation, to enter Accountancy.
Accountancy course in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, is good. -

It's best to gear to her strengths and interests, though. Even though she's young, she should have an idea whether she would like something that deals with words, or numbers, or caring, or social interaction...Janet,

I think she's not strong in Maths? Which probably means she isn't so good at numbers? My father and I had a huge fight when I was choosing courses because he wanted me to put Accountancy as my 2nd choice - but I really don't deal well with numbers! His argument was that it would a lead to a \"good\" job, without considering my personal skills and interests. I've never forgotten how I felt then, I would hate any other child to go through that. -

POA could be something she may be interested in...so I'm glad her school has this option.Janet,

for now, we are appealing to take geography. she is given literature - something she doesn't like.
on the whole, I'm very relieved and happy she is allocated to the class.
I am praying hard she will mature and be more responsible for her studies next year. -
appeal results out - she will be taking geography instead of literature. the former is fully packed with 40+ students (don't know if her info is accurate). I'm hands off POA, math, science and physical component of geography :siam:
my girl would have to take responsibility for her food and nutrition and general revision. -
Please advise, my boy is in sec 2 this year. so far sci is his stronger subject, Last year form teacher says to push him a little in Sec 2 and he stays chance to take triple sci, but my friend advised to take double science instead of triple. She says its a waste of time and effort to take triple sci. My boy has intention to take biomedical in poly after his O level, but I would prefer JC as I heard people saying it will be easier to get into U from JC than poly. If my boy’s interest is in virology, which path should he choose? triple or double sci? poly or JC? Any experience parents can help? I’m really clueless in this. Thank you in advance.

If your son is strong in science and is interested, and his teachers think he can handle it, let him take triple science. What is your friend's experience? Is she a teacher? Or is she basing her advice on her own children? My daughter took triple science and enjoyed it even though she isn't doing science in university. Her reason was that she couldn't decide which to drop in upper sec. It's true that they have to drop one eventually (you can only take 2 at A levels), so it can seem like a \"waste\", but at least they have some foundation in the 3rd science. I would think that is important for someone who wants to pursue a scientific career.
If your son is a strong student, and he wants to go into university, JC is usually a surer way as only the top poly students get into university, and it depends on whether the \"poly\" style of learning works for him. You need to understand what his studying style is like - more hands-on or by bookwork, more group vs individual etc.
