      Happy Mama:

      I used to be a \"bo-chap\" mum until I joined KSP 4 months ago.


      After reading several threads in KSP, I am now getting very paranoid about PSLE. Is this good or bad?

      happy mama, i think u can still continue yr \"bo chap\" till end of P4. πŸ˜‰

      as for me , Heng !!!
      i joined ksp forum during the PSLE ending stage not at the beginning of P6 or P5. :lol:

      Yes, if I had joined in P6 I would have bitten all my fingernails off!

        Seriously, I'm getting paranoid and \"kan cheong\" after reading the threads even though my child is not taking PSLE so soon.

        but is still better to be forewarned than to get a BIG :!: , right??

        Hi Happy Mama,

        I think you will not have any worry as your name is Happy Mama lah. :celebrate:[/quote]Dun worry lah Happy Mama, if you are currently outsourcing to good tutors, they'll know what to do. Stay happy.

          Having a DD who completed her PSLE last year, now I realise why the fuss over this first national exam taken by school going kids.


          My DD, together with her 2 cousins, took their PSLE last year and the 3 of them got very different results. DD and another cousin, who were ranked higher in terms of PSLE t-score, were given their first choice secondary schools which are quite popular in Singapore. The remaining cousin, though still qualified for Express stream, was posted her 4th choice school. On Reporting Day (23 Dec 2010), when this cousin went her new class in the secondary school, she realised that she's the only Chinese student in her class. Her parents took a look at the school environment and noticed that the school is plagued with student discipline issues. The parents also received a lot of negative feedback about the students from this school from friends and neighbours (smoking in the park while still in school uniform, fighting and rowdiness in shopping malls, food courts). After much thought, the parents decided to withdraw their DD from the school.

          In essence, P6 kids who are ranked higher for the PSLE t-score will have more secondary school choices. Generally, secondary schools with better school environment are very popular and have higher cut-off points. It also translates to that if your child qualifies for such schools, he/she will have a more conducive environment for learning and lesser chance of discipline problems during the teenage years. For the parents, this means lesser headaches (NOT no headache)!

          Good thing the parents managed to find another school for the kid. Yes, the teenage years are very important, as friends they make at this age are ones they keep for a long time.

          Hi. I have sent you a pm.
