Agree. Just to add on.
Can feel the anticipation!! Although I don’t have a psle kid this year, I want to congratulate all P6 parents and children for surviving it! You all did awesome!
Do celebrate whether or not you did well within your expectations, because it’s been a tough journey and its no easy feat going through it all and surviving!
Even if you think you did not meet your expectations, do not feel upset as you will definitely do better next time. Celebrate the learning moment as well and take it as a positive feedback. Do plan to celebrate the tremendous effort, regardless the results!
All the best P6 parents and graduates![/quote]
Most of our P6s are old enough to know when they did extremely well or not after receiving their result slips first hand. Parents do not need to add anymore oil to the fire.
What we can hope is that through this P6 experience, they learnt some important life lessons to be a better person their are now or to wake up in time for their next milestone if they didn't meet their expectations this time.
The worst that can happen is to allow the outcome of PSLE to break their hearts and lose confidence in life.
Kuddos to many remarkable parents, many I believe are not in this forum, I have come across, who stand by their children who did them proud with AL19 or AL25.
This awkward period when random people keep asking how kids have done.... Will pass. Trust us, one year passed and no one is talking about AL scores anymore. -

During the third Lang webinar, the organizers shared drop out rates and details, as well as pros and cons of the 4 third languages offered at moelc. And yes my dd decided on her third Lang after asking the speakers questions - including clarifying hearsay details about jap 😂
Hi, we are also considering 3rd lang either Spanish or German. Really appreciate if anyone can share the pro and cons between the above two langs.
I also heard from some friends that Japanese is the most difficult with highest dropping rate. Is this true? -

We had an announced policy of not asking for scores, unless the party wants to tell. It works well.

What did she decide on? Congratulations.

There are indeed many kids taking Jap and dropping Jap. Not easy for some but so manageable for others. -

Today, our primary sch arranged a home coming for ex P6s. All ex students are in home clothes, not sec sch uniform, no brand, no barrier. Every child posed for photos with their beloved teachers. Such a sight.

Just to share success story of the less visible group I got to know, those kids who accumulated more ALs than desired, parents took a while to recover and reconcile with the reality, their kids are very happy in their sec schools, look forward to going to school everyday, doing extremely well in exams and CCAs too e.g. got silver in essay writing in Queens commonwealth competition, math olympiad, submitted by school without student nor parent knowing much, another got into exco, appointed as sch ambassador. These would not happen if they are in the more competitive schools. Coincidentally their ALs are above the sch COPs. If they did well enough, it is not impossible to receive MOE edusave awards etc.
Our own children are previous and their friends and class or school mates and all other children are equally precious too. -
I told my DS that irrespective of what he scores, he should not be embarrassed or emboldened by it. The score neither defines him nor determines his future. It’s just a number.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, I believe that boys tend to mature later and their switches turn on when they’re a bit older. As a consequence, they aren’t all as conscientious, focused or disciplined as the girls in their cohort (just my opinion). Given this, I’ve reiterated that the PSLE is just a step in a long journey and he has many years ahead to reach for the stars. Likewise, doing well in the PSLE does not guarantee success in the long term either.
So, when he’s asked about his scores tomorrow, I’ve reminded him that it’s his choice if he wants to share the score. Regardless of what that score is, life continues. We have already planned a family holiday in Dec and we’re all looking forward to it. I’ve asked him to focus on that instead and, as far as possible, to treat tomorrow like any other day in school.
