They still take PSLE. But those successful in DSA would have a place liao. They can relax a bit but still need decent marks in PSLE,
Yup it is definitely my worse case.. If DD cannot make it for PSLE, then it's international school lieow.. Ok I have heard of it but don't know it's DSA for short.. I don't agree la... Why don't take PSLE wor? Wat if u don't do well in o levels? U don even have a PSLE lor... Like i mention earlier, I am a big fan of exams and only through exams u know where u stand.. Why avoid it? Practise make perfect wat.. If u keep taking exams, then u will be so good in it... Just like in poly they keep making u do presentation in front of an audience until today I m so numb by it that publis speaking is a click of the finger.. Not need to look so far la.. I think Australia pretty similar to Finland then...SAHM_TAN:
@bigsnoopy,
PC = politically correct
Since only primary school is compulsory, after that can go international if trap by foundation subjects?
DSA is Direct School Admission for sec schools. Two ways non-academic and academic. The application start in P5 mid yr or so. If through sports, then must have competed at national level with good results and must be in the school of choice's niche. For acadremic track must go for test at the schools of choice and student at same time must get gold or silver at acadmic competition. There's a thread on this DSA thing,
In Finland, all kids are given equal opportunities. I think over there they really learn more but use less time yet so much less stressful. I think as long as out of Asian countries and communities, our kids will be less stressed
Yup, MIA, not able to complete yet -

:rotflmao: how did the doc 'wash' his ears? My ds also had a big ear wax blocking his left ear. One day after shower i was cleaning his ear and the whole thing came out. Then he said, wow mom, now i can hear u so well..
Never heard of it before. My DS also has prononciation problem, but think it was due to too much wax in his ears. Our family doc \"washed\" his ears, so much wax came out, then he told us he could hear. Imagine all those times we scolded him becos we called him and he did not listen to us. Must be becos of the wax :rotflmao: Now he is getting better in his speech but if not, will look into the Orton Gilingham thing.MintyMin:
On leave today n took chance to go to DS's cc to have a parent teacher meeting.. as i missed the one in July as we went for BVPS open hse..
so far all is good.. DS as expected is gd wif numbers but not sight reading.. n pronunication slight problem due to short tongue.. so principal suggested he attend 'Orton Gillingham'.. but he did emphasize tat he is definitely not saying tat DS has disability problems.. but we juz haf to find a method for him to strengthen his language skills..
Anyone heard of Orton Gillingham b4? He told us tat the CC's ex supervisor is doing freelance teaching of tat now.. so ask me to check w her.. which i might do it n c how tings goes for DS.. dunno real or not.. I think kost times he just pretend not to hear me..

true tat the more u do the more u will perfect it n no longer has phobia for it.. but tat being said.. we haf to make sure tat they enjoyed it n it does not become a stress for them.. which i noe it is difficult..
was chatting wif my uncle last saturday n he said tat a lot of parents tis days start their kids young wif enrichment classes.. so much so.. it became a norm for the kids tat they no longer take it as stress... but i asked him.. den watz childhood for them? he said.. wat makes u tink tat they dun take tat as childhood.. :scratchhead: :faint:
so i guess a bit too late to start on so much.. but den.. i still prefer them to enjoy childhood..
