How’s your PSLE prep getting on?
The month of November is coming to an end soon hor.

according to dd, she is revising..these 2 days, I gave her 2 leftover Math papers from SA2..need do correction then can get correct ans. told me her bad are dont read qn properly, transfer wrong figure half way through the workings and one more I cant remember.. so told her must keep doing la. She/I find language is the most worrying one. The rest think can improve through more doing/reading but language

:pokeeye: Better study hard hor. Go O-level later kena looked down by some mummies out there. :evil:

What is “...according to DD, she is revising”? :slapshead: :spank:

In the run up to PSLE, I suggest you better sit next to her lah. When school reopens, very fast it will be PSLE already.

The headache of white uniforms. Schools really should not have white unis, especially white bottoms when you expect the students to be sitting on the floor.

[/quote]who (muumies) will look down ah , mine children will be O level track If the aptitude and attitude are meant for IP then should go ... but dun u all think nowadays to go into IP can be \"mould\" n \"train\" so long $$$$ & Time are also not an issue + some hardwork fr kid/parents - no longer a system for the geppers. Thiank far ahead too - Lastly, what happen after A level - can go into \"alright\" university n get into a \"alright\" course or not ... if not confident, start saving to prep sending overseas to get a ang mo degree back ( ang mo like ang mo degree -based on my exp n observations working in Aust MNC b4)

Absolutely nothing wrong with O level track.

erm ... , there are 2 groups of parents out here

one group .... do Not look down on the O-level students

another group .... either the parents, or their children themselves, kind of, or in a way, to some extent, do look down on students taking O-level, somewhat.
Their mentality is, \"if you are good, should go to a pure IP school. What for, go to one, that offer emergency O-level track, on standby ? \".

Advice to this 2nd group of parents (P6xers or Secondary school students) is, don't look down on O-level students, too soon.
Even though your child may be currently studying or going to study inside a pure IP school ... but the road 6 years ahead in IP is uncertain, still very far, very long ahead. Just don't end up as a casualty yourself, in such a pure IP school.

Go O level route will get looked down upon? Really? Aiyoh, my poor kids.


No wonder kids still end up crying when their PSLE scores are, in my opinion, awesome. All because they cannot make it into an IP school?

I felt so heartbroken when I saw one of my ex-student looking so despondent after getting his results. I was there with my sis to collect nephew’s results. He scored pretty well. Just a couple of points shy of the cut off of the school that he was aiming for. It did not help that his parents were looking all solemn and disappointed as well. And the only one consoling the boy was his little brother.

no offence to anyone, I agree with starlight regarding O level track.
having an o level cert is safe because 6 years is a long time and IP syllabus is not for all kids.

[starlight1968sg]

All hv diff learning paths and abilities, and just choose the one you think is the most suitable for you ie your kid.


If O level is bad, MOE will abolish it.

We are all here to learn from one another.

[janet88]

IP track is not for all kids. 6 years is a very long time and there are many who can’t make it in Year 2 or Year 3.

burning the candle both sides will cause kids to burn out.

I think such 2nd grp of parents do exist in those popular pri sch -
I dun hang around a lot in my kids sch, & dunno many parents - so I am lucky din get the stress meeting such parents in my kids sch. But ftwm will face such issues/stress in the pri sch ...

Am sure Our ksp kakis are not like that
