Yes. She is right. From Rosyth GEP. 286 -
Estéema:
Esteema, I agree with you. It's so tempting to compare with those around. There will always be people who are super smart AND kind AND sporty AND world class musicians. We decided last year to tell our son \"what you achieve will be a result of your effort. You have to decide if it's worth getting 10 more points at the cost of less reading, drumming, training time.It’s not much of meaning just to look at high scores. So long as your child put in effort to work hard, we shld be proud of our kids & congratulate those who had achieved greater scores - however it’s done. I’m sceptical abt knowing too much.
In our journey, I’ve been guilty of looking over the shoulders of these high achievers with yearly awards as highest achiever in cohort for all subjects & those many consistent achievers of high grades. Then I woke up one day to resolve that I’ll be happier if my kids are a little less high scorers but are all rounders with life skills.
I was shaken when one of my kid’s peer scored high but had never really known how to relate to most other peers & adults. Very reserved & quiet. This one the mum coached personally at home. Reads voraciously but totally alienates himself fr other kids (maybe see others as not 开窍 type to mingle with). Eventually the only one amongst peers chose Raffles route.
Ano had 3 Chinese tuition to enable high >90 but no time to do anything else due to all subj with TLL, no CCAs or other interests. Mother forbade any playdates, etc. Poor kid. Heard he got more emotional in Year 1 and cld not work with teammates on projects.
Btw, both are very well fed & fat kids.
I’m happy when my kids hv a variety of interests, able to mingle with frds & learn to give & take. There again, maybe someone might think my kids are Jack (no not my chil’s name, lol) of all & special in none.
What parent doesn't hope that their child will be multihyphenated top student? But if they have no space, no time to just vegetate and be bored, then how will they have the time to discover who they are? Guess I'll just have to cross my fingers and que sera sera -
mommyNg:
She was top in NYPS at 285 but not top in SG.
Because I know who she islee_yl:
Ya, it's not officially recorded how you know?
So last year this PSLE top scorer from which primary school? GEP or MS? -
fable:
They're damn scary lah - throw stone got 270+ / 280+ But only the boy is classmate, girl is in the next class over.[/quote]Possible. 2017 paper was very difficult for most children, thus the top tscore could shoot up to very high.lee_yl:
[quote=\"fable\"]My son's good friend & classmate got 286+3 and went to RI by DSA...
The girl's score was 293+3 by the way. Its all quite amazing, but at the end of the day just numbers, right?
So MommyNg’s 285 +3 is not top scorer le.
Confirm got a 286+3 Ah Boy
And 293+3 Ah Girl.
Fable, your DS’s classmates solid lah!!
:faint:
That ‘Ah Girl’ is power lah. Actually, another one I am impressed with is Zoe Tay’s son, I think in MS, scored 27X! -

Your DS2 under AL Banding right?seriously how these kids study? Got parent's push factor? Or purely 开窍?
I know this top scorer in my DC's school studied till 12 midnight
No more tscore, no need to study until midnight le.
Trick is to get AL1 for Chinese.
