So be it let the good /clever ones score rocket high - they deserve the score- i belive these smart kids work equally hard + clever .
Becos it seems like 2019 is a tougher year compared to 2018. In a tough year, logically i think the distribution will be more skewed. So the really smart ones will still be scoring like no tomorrow but at the expense of the not so strong ones. Maybe can also call it that the good ones could be killing the not so strong ones at their expense.Kialoukui\" post_id=\"1947334\" time=\"1574225309\" user_id=\"182021:
Please enlighten why top and bottom will be much wider than last year?
Do u think the top 4 schools will have higher COP than last year? Is 260 a safe bet or just borderline? Hearsay rumours RGS COP will be damn high?
Actually tough paper yrs are\" better\", coz the non top sch COP will be more reasonable range - I recalled last yr COP for the high 220s to 230s range jump a lot abt 2 to 6 /7 points ... this made sch selection difficult, quite a number though get ok results cant get into the sch cop due to the big jump of cop -

They are now still young, as they grow they probably won't compare as much. Sometimes non twins siblings also compare de.. so long as within the healthy range, it should be acceptable ba.. treat as a motivation for the kid to push a little bit further up maybe..
Thank you MrsKiasu, I appreciate your kind words. Good luck to you and your dc tomorrow!MrsKiasu\" post_id=\"1947306\" time=\"1574219774\" user_id=\"43981:
I remember our teacher dont tell which are best classes during end of P4 class allocation but the kids will know somehow which are the ones at P5/6.
at this time tomorrow, maybe some will know results already..
Ours is a neighbourhood school, somehow, among the kids, they already know which are the top classes, even though they are named not in order. I believe all schools including most neighbourhood schs have top classes.
In our case, I wasn't happy that kids get to know the class allocation before parents, because they receive the report book first. I regret that I wasn't able to speak to my child and explain about this change and why this outcome is actually better for my child beforehand. One may argue that I could have done the pre empting in hindsight anyway but how to tell a child that \"I think you are not going to get into this or that class because....\" before u know for sure. Esp borderline case.
To all parents whom kids are receiving results tomorrow, try to talk to them beforehand. Explain about sometimes hipcups happens and things may not go well as we would expect. Remember to put on your best expression as your child esp the one who is disappointed will be looking at our face and hear our voices for comforting.
For those who did well, remember there will be other kids at some corner feeling lousy and out of place.
P.S. you are right abt the username, it seems like it so happens, though not intentional.
thank you for your kind wishes! we need it haha..
and thank you for the reminders after exam results too! -

I have nothing against the smart kids. Its just that system is like that...... The scores are computed relative against their peers. -
