2022 PSLE Discussions & Strategies (born in 2010)

[Imp75]

While we parents say we prepare ourselves for the worst, sometimes some emotions just can’t be helped. I recalled on PSLE day itself years back, the discipline master came up to me prior to the announcement and said “your girls did well”…… it sounded good right but at that moment I looked at my hubs and my thoughts were “why well only? Why not very well? Why not excellent? Did they underperform?”. Such thoughts were really racing through my head and I told my hubs “ok let’s brace ourselves up for the unexpected results”….

Same... I had many thoughts on the day... Normal for everyone right??

It is perfectly normal for us to feel range of emotions. But it doesn’t mean we have to deny them because they are negative. We can learn not to be affected by them. Sometimes just accepting them as normal, we will feel better.

An alternate shortlisting of secondary schools for selections. One of the shorting listing criteria is simply cut off point, instead of score range of all students accepted into the schools. It also offers other standard shorting criteria like CCA, location etc.

The closer the date, the more nervous I become… I want it to come sooner but yet same time dread THE day. Need to slowly psyche myself up.

I wonder why they can’t just disseminate the results via Parents Gateway and be done with it. Collect cert later. Still must sit thru all the talking and clapping (none of which really concerns the majority anyway).

Then everyone will still be talking and clapping while waiting for the results to appear in the Parents' Gateway...

I suspect that it's because PG is for parents whereas the results should be distributed to the students directly. Of course, as parents, we feel that every exam our children take is OUR exam

Ours will be in the school hall. If it drags on till 11.45am I’m sure the parents will be using their phones to check results online. But the kids…still have to sit and wait in suspense until they receive the paper.

[Mr.025413Clumsy]

Based on my DS’ school’s notice, parents (which allows for both, not 1 parent, to attend) and students are to proceed to the school hall at 10:40am. I’m not sure how they would give out results from there but I suspect that most, if not all, students would know their results before 11:45am.
