Feb is still good weather for either winter countries or tropical.
I still stuck in Dec sch holidays … so I wish I can go in jan / Feb / march to winter places as cheaper compared to yr end sch holidays n snow is good for winter activities too, deep enough.

I remembered going to Korea (early September? I don't remember) and they were trying to make snow and blow it onto the slopes It was a sad affair.

Yeah... things are cheaper in February. Maybe I should go somewhere next year... :idea: But dunno where to go.

I remembered when the PSLE results were released, there was much coverage in the papers.

I hardly see any such news during the past few days.
Anyway, I am totally clueless on the new PSLE grading system.
I hope mums and dads with PSLE kids can get into the sch they aimed for.

PSLE is just one of the milestones in education. The result doesnt define the whole life but does give some help in the education path.

Read that there is some influenza issues at place that we going soon. Hope our trip won't be so affected..We just had some pizzas from a restaurant as supper as dd2 has much appetite for pizzas lately. Something to make her happy. This girl cried for abt 2mins after gotten her results and after that as chirpy as ever kept making us laugh.. both dh & I kept telling her that we are very happy actually.

That's great! You have a very resilient kid there, @MrsKiasu.

Where are you going for your holidays?

I think it's good that PSLE is no longer such a newsworthy event, and hopefully will become less nerve-wracking for those taking it (and their parents!). Glad the media are cooperating with MOE on this.

Yes, news used to publish student X from Y sch scored the highest ... I would prefer to read reports on exceptional cases who worked hard under challenging situations to make it to a sec sch etc.

Extract from one of the news articles:

https://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/i-turned-55-this-month-here-s-what-i-wish-i-knew-at-30

My advice to my 30-year-old self would be to focus on what matters to me personally and spend time on that, and not over-focus on the material.

There was an article on a student whose hands were physically challenged to even hold a pen/pencil ...

These students beat all the odds to go all the way for PSLE

My same exact thoughts. I was telling DH yesterday that PSLE thread in KSP was unusually quiet since the release of PSLE results, unlike say a decade ago when everyone would rush in to check which school has the highest T-score.

I remember back then how someone would report that NYPS’ highest reported T-score was 273 (for example) then another parent would share that the nation’s highest was likely set by Rulang Pri with a tscore of 274 so on and so forth.

The new AL banding seems to reduce (kiasu) parents’ obsession because there’s no single highest T-score but instead many who will share the honour of achieving AL4 points

Thanks chief. Maybe also coz I kept telling her b4 results out that getting 8pt is actually not that easy one lor. The exam b4 prelim still ok can get 8pt even some at the unlucky spectrum of the AL range. Then comes prelim..we all errr already. So need to moderate her expectation. I asked her few times any chance of exceeding the minimum/base AL coz I was worry..and those words like mommy you are insulting me arh..I m dumb but not that dumb etc ..in a jokingly manner..no offence to anyone. She likes using words and actions to make us all laugh..ah..going to northern part of china...washing some thermal wears coz going to be colder there.
