Your Caveat sounds like ''uncle... u luan luan sian boh\" :politebleah: :laugh:

Anyway, I agree generally speaking languages are at better hands on X factor (aka females), and MA and Science are generally master of Y factor :love:
At least in my closest network, me and dh is like that laa....

Hee hee caveat on numbers because I can't remember the actual numbers, not on the fact. I read this during my final year thesis which is many many years ago

[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Hi Parents,

So envious to see your kids score 90+. My son told me he flunk his Maths Paper 1 ...still don't know what his Chinese and Science results are but doubt they will be good. English Band 3...don't know how to improve his results.

Janet, fret not... Your DS is in Pri 5, ours in Pri 3... So it's different and no basis for comparison la. I cannot imagine how my DD will fare when she goes Pri 4 and then Pri 5... and finally PSLE.

I agree, Janet, P5 n P3 is a big jump.. take it positively that you can find out what happened; was it the techniques of answering or did the teacher really set a super high standard, or something else and work on it with him. I'm sure he will do better with this experience behind him Press on ya? :celebrate:[/quote]Janet, Let Me Share with U A Real Life Story Happens 2 years Ago ....

The P5 Gal is Avg in Her Result ....
Killed By CA1 Killer Q ....
Flunk MA, Flunk CL, and Others R on BorderLine Pass ....

Her Mum is Pulling Her Hair, She Got Burst Capillaries in Her Eyes while Revising with Her Gal ....
But At PSLE ....
Happy Ending .... She Got 220 and Get into the School of Her Choice ....
So ....
Morale of the Story ....

1) Still Got Chance to Catch Up
2) Still Think CA1 is Wake up Call - Tougher Paper than Usual (IMHO)
3) Don't Over-stressed Yourself, PH T will Assist Along the Way ....
And DO Take Care of Yourself ....

Hi Parents,

hi my dd also did v badly for Eng. Dunno the rest of d subjects except higher chin. She did ok for HCL. She is worried of her math result. Don't fret, we hv time to catch up. PSLE is stil 1.5years away! We continue to encourage n share tips n uphold one another, our kids sure can make it.

Coincidentally, my hubby n I n dd were talking abt sec school. We all agreed to let dd go to a better neigbourhood school so dat dd wld not b the weakest in Academics in her cohort. We believe being the weakest in the cohort in teenage years mayb quite dampening n do not do much good to her self esteem, espy in turbulent teenage years.

Sorry I don't quite get what you mean. Are you saying that you would rather your dd go to a good neighbourhood sec sch where she can do well (relative to cohort) rather than a branded sec sch where maybe she'll get left behind?

Wise decision. In fact, I think it is a good idea to start gathering information about P of diff sec sch. For neighbourhood sec sch, how a P runs a school will have a huge impact on the O level result. Look for a P that is extremely particular about discipline and you won't go wrong.

Yes I think that's what she meant. Being in the top class boost the kids morale a lot than being in the last class of a branded school.
Of course, for the SUPER branded school, in the last class will also be very motivated because the whole sch is very kiasu

I had the same thought then too. Better to be a big fish in a small pond as the big fish will get more opportunities to showcase its potential.

My elder boy finally did well for his PSLE. The sec sch he is attending now has a small cohort size. Last year he was offered a writing course (by Stanford U) and this year a chance to represent the sch in an international Maths competition.

:thankyou:

Being recognised really makes a difference in the child's attitude towards learning. Like dangling a carrot in front. Hope he keeps up this effort and not be distracted by BGR in future

And again I have to manage my expectations of my younger boy. Cant be selfish to think he wld be like my elder boy.
