Hi parents, just wanted to check if it is ok to make markings at the side of the answer? Eg for editing, my DD will mark out whether it is grammar or spelling by writing G or S at the side of answer.

One big 4 comment created so much controversy hahaha.....refocus back to PSLE lah.....Tom first paper English!!! Good luck everyone!!! Hope your kids tio the compo topic they had been practising hard for.

TBH, today’s is the first time I’ve learnt that there is a thing called big 4 for secondary schools :rotflmao:

Although big 2 or big 2+2 would be more appropriate since a student would either be deemed missing an appendage or have an extra appendage for 2 of the schools.

A dream school to many may not be a good school for me. Remember? All schools are good schools

No comparison of schools. Top schools have the so- called mid tier students and mid- tier schools have top students or potential ones waiting to shine! Every kid has a special place for them.

Anyway, my child has habits of highlighting different colors all over the papers. Also writing both alphabets and words on blanks of cloze passage. Not been penalized by school so far. Hope that it is alright in psle.

So said the man from RJC

“Every school a good school does not mean every school the same school. But it does mean every school a good school in its own way, seeking to bring out the best in every child.”

I cannot agree with you on this. You do not try your luck when it comes to education; you choose what it is best suited for you (i.e. IB or A level).

so true.

Out-front decide, better know which path u want, don't end up taking wrong path half-way through wasted time, try to de-tour back

eg

you want SOTA or want A-level ?

you want MGS (IB) / ACSI (IB) / SJI (IB), or want A-level ?

you want NUS High or want A-level ?

if your decision is want A-level, next step, want OP or IP ?

if want OP : want pure OP school (eg. Anglican High, Nan Hua High, Nan Chiau High, Chung Cheng High), or want specialized OP school (eg. SST), or want dual-track OP school (eg. Catholic High / Victoria school )?


if want IP : want single-track IP school, or want dual-track IP school ?

if want single-track IP school, want those that come with \"on-standby\" emergency exit-IP-back-to-O-level classes (eg. Dunman High, RI, Hwa Chong), or
those without such classes existing ? (eg. National JC, Temasek JC, RGS, River Valley High)

Good luck to all P6s… kids stress… seems like parents more heated… chill… just like PSLE is only part of the kids journey…so is it to our journey… we try to make informed choices for them but sometimes how things turn not within our control. Just enjoy parenting process. I really appreciate all the savvy parents here for sharing their thoughts and insights through this 6 years and hope this forum continues to be a platform to keep us connected amicably.
