Just a very generalised observation...do girls tend to do better in NYPS in lower primary? And boys catch up much later?

My DD P1 class Top 5, 3 are boys.

From what I heard from DD, there also seems more boys in the top 5 in her class. Am quite surprised, but I will see for myself tomorrow.

Thanks! So is P1 already very stressful given the numerous little tests?[/quote]My DD could not get use to all this mini tests at first. She even has nightmare of her MT paper. Luckily she managed to get use to all this mini tests only during the Term 2.

:idea: Maybe Busymom's DD and hamster's DD are in the same class??

For my DD's class, 4 girls 1 boy. Same for last year P1.

I am starting to feel stress putting my DD in this school.


Too emphasize on academic, even though she has done well overall 95% and yet I feel the teacher expect her to do better after talking to her teacher.

P1 only already so stressful.

Could it be just that it's the teacher in this class? Earlier in the year, I was a bit KPO and went to read some other classes' blog. I must say certain teachers gave me the impression that they are very result-orientated. It is the way they talked about how the class did for this test or that test. I even remember one commenting that how many out of how many got full marks in class for a particular test in term 1... :roll: With such teachers, if your child didn't get full marks, how not to be stressed?

Fortunately my DD's class isn't like that.

These days, I am quite switched off, don't even go to the blog for months at times.

Mine is too relaxed... wouldn't even study. I just let it be. The only thing that we need to prepare was the chinese show and tell.

My DD said the same thing; her class 3 boys in Top 5, while her friends from other class also have more boys than girl in the top 5 list.


One thing I am puzzle, what if two students having the same score fighting for Top 5 awards, so who to choose? Base on what criteria?

I was told by a form teacher that she will look into their raw scores to break the tie, but I don't know how to calculate the raw scores, also curious to find out more...

My DS time used to be so relaxed from P1 to P4. His teacher even told me not to stress him too much especially during his P6 PSLE NOT to give him any more assessments so my son was so happy he played and played, while I am the one who got stressed out.
