qms:

hashroop, you have become a celebrity now! Your name is in The New Paper! :evil:

OMG!! I just signed in today and saw this.

GuzHo:

Already newspapers and websites are advertising on Enrichment classes, PSLE 2011 coaching classes etc and as parents of PSLE 2011 child, we are already getting panicky, seeing the (over)enthusiasm of Parents from the same league. Can Parents of ex-PSLE children suggest some ways for stress management for the entire family?

I was a 2009 PSLE parent and now a wannabe 2011 PSLE parent a second time..Im still scratching my head and ask how to start where to start.. :?

haha i don’t think there is a need for worry just yet… your child still hasn’t gone through their p6 curriculum (which in my opinion takes up a greater percentage of the psle paper especially in maths and science). maybe a good way to start is to have a headstart to the p6 curriculum if you haven’t done so. by perparing early and grasping the concepts earlier than the rest, you would naturally have more time to revise and prepare for psle.

Thanks for your offer but...


1. I'm just appalled at how journalists work. Just for the sake of 'readership'. Upset - yes. Anguish - no.

2. As a teacher and tutor, we are usually not bothered by such things unless it affects our reputation. As the other parents here have posted, they understand that I'm not like what they said in the article, so no harm done.

3. Why kick up a fuss and provide them with more news? They did not mention my name or nick, so just leave it as that. Sometimes, the more you stir things up, the worse it gets. 越描越黑 - The more you try to explain, the worse it gets.

Also, what effect had the article on me?
Erm, actually, I did not even know it exists until someone posted the link here. And when I finally read it, it just feels upsetting to be misunderstood. Not to the extend of feeling 'anguish'.

So, seriously, no harm done. In fact, I got positive responses from parents who assure me that I'm doing the right thing by sharing with them. And I will continue to do so!

Psst, seriously, if you are teaching that many students to be considered a 'full time tutor', how come you have so much time for such an interview when it's exam period now? Cos I'm up to my neck with lessons and only manage to come into forum during my short little few minutes break between lessons.

well said mrs wong. Fret not. We are united behind you.Keep it up and lets not let the article bother us..
