What are the factors for good result (pri level)?

MMM, I feel sorry for your cousin. And I agree that we should not leave it to chance and our job is to monitor and do our best to steer the kid down the right path with whatever brainwashing and scolding or nagging necessary :rant:

Agree, there are kids who are in elite school who dun make it, and equally many in not so good primary schools who make it well... so the school plays a part,but obviously the kid himself/herself is what makes the difference. Of course I understand that parents try their best to send kids to elite schools so that some of the \"positive energy\" can rub off the kids, but if the kids dun absorb it then, really wasted.

The factor on having a suitable environment to suit the kid is very real. In one of the personal blogs that I followed, there was a student in RJC. While he truly enjoyed his lower primary school years in a neighbourhood school and could only remember schoolwork all around at the GEP school, he attributed his love for Literature and where he was then (it was an old entry) to the fact that he was transferred to one of the elite schools (after GEP).
it is always easier to transfer out of a popular school than to transfer into one. so the demand will always be there.

Voted for family. If the family environment is not conducive to learning, it will be difficult for the child to achieve good results.

Hello,


I would think that all factors are responsible, the school, the parents, and also the student himself.

Depending on which factor that one revaluates most. Parental support is important, but when parents are too busy working outside, and have no time for their kids, then one needs to engage other help from friends, and also enrichment programs, such as Self motivation programs from Anthony Robbins, etc.

Also, we must not forget the enrichment programs from other aspects such as holiday programs, tutoring.

Moral support from parents, friends is a very important factor too I think.

1) Sleep well
2) Pay attention in class
3) Complete all school and homework on time.

1) playground
2) playground
3) playground

Ya, agreed. All factors are important.


So we must try to provide all the factors that are conducive to our children for learning.

Good school, good teachers, good food and vitamins for thinking, good loving family with emotional support, good company of friends, good social and extra-cirricular activities, good rest and sleep, good enrichment classes.

Well, to do well in work, we need a multitude of skills too, such as people skills, time management, logical skills, etc, all factors would come into play.

Nice comments.
