Glad you hve adopted a positive mental attitude on this occassion.

You are also blessed with bright kids. Your child performance in the PSLE is indeed commendable.

Kind regards for a good yr ahead.

Tks , innovate and concernedparents, for the encouraging words. Yes, I am indeed proud of my Ds’ achievements and that he did manage to get into an ip school, considering he was born on the last second day of the year.


I will put my disappointment aside and prepare for school next week, will be rushing to get the uniforms and books… Busy busy…

You hve a good score and is well positioned to do well in secondary/0-level.

Expect you to move on to a good jc for your pre-u education.

I don't think the very top students in my DD's posted school can go to a good jc like HC, RJC or ACJC at O-level. Better do what the school told me: try again when go to secondary school.

[quote=\"tansm2010\"]I think all the school are in the mess now with all the appealers. Looks like more appealers this year. DS fren with t-score 245 appealing DHS and ask to go for trial tomorrow for basketball. According to DS he played soccer but appeal under basketball. What is this? specially talent can change overnite, unbelieveble...

Isn't 245 quite a way off from DHS' COP? You must update us about his appeal. It'll be interesting if he got in with this hidden talent.

Sure, will ask ds to check on his appeal[/quote]This morning I went to VS for orientation, his name has been removed from the class list, should be sucessfully transfered to DHS.

Either he is v tall or his parents know someone holding a high rank in dhs or he did indeed has a hidden talent IB basketball !

[quote=\"octopusmum\"]second what sinoboy said...


just called hci , they said there r no transfers out already and they have called all those who r successful 2 days ago ....so now, i would have to try to overcome the disappointment/sadness and prepare ds for his posted school. think i will keep this infor to myself till tomorrow since it is his birthday today

Considering your boy is a yr-end kid, he is doing very very well academically. Any parent would be proud of such offspring.

Cheers!

I agree. It seems kids born in Jan have advantage over Dec kids. They are almost close to being different year and different phase of development and maturity.[/quote]Hi,
this may be a bit off-topic,but I don't agree Jan kids have advantage over Dec kids, before P1, u can really see the difference. But from P1 onwards, year-end kids catch up very naturally and fast and soon, you can't really tell the difference. As long as they are given the chance and proper guidance by parents, they will excel too. Just my opinion

The main problem is schools allow those already DSAed to other school to appeal. Should they stand firm or MOE give a strict instruction to those already DSAed that they will not be allowed to appeal after acceptance of DSA, parents will think twice before accepting the DSA offer and treat it more seriously.

I used to 101% support your view point - even now. If they don't allow such transfer, I would not have spent days agonising whether to transfer or not.

the problem is those top schools happily allow students to appeal to get into their schools. RI is happy to accept those who meet their requirements even post-DSA and post-PSLE result day. And HCI is happy to accept anyone who appeal and meet their cut off requirement, so do NJC, RGS, etc etc etc...and hence the ripple effect. One thing to note is that they are all independent schools (except NJC) and they can decide their admission without referring back to MOE. I asked SOME principals on the appeal matter : their replies :- as long as the students are happy, we are happy to facilitate. and it happens EVERY YEAR. They even have an unwritten understanding among them on the \"transfer protocol\" before they update MOE with the final namelist.... just wondering whether they do sms each other daily to update on the transfer requests ....LOL!!

If we were to randomly pick 2 kids, one born earlier and one born later in the year, I agree it is not true that the older one would necessarily be more mature or do better in studies. However, if we were to look at the kid himself, his maturity certainly improves as the time passes. In short, I think it is \"harder\" but not \"impossible\" for younger kids to do just as well in PSLE.
