If I go to work that day, I won't be able to concentrate, so might as well take the day off and give moral support to my DD.

I can still vividly remember the day when I got my PSLE results.
My mom and younger brother were there for me.

I went alone to get my PSLE results. I stayed very near the school, but for some reason (can't remember why now) ended up going late . Teacher was grumbling as I was \"one of the top students\" announced and I was nowhere in sight :oops:

Wow belated congratulation to u pen88n!

I definitely want to be there for my ds. Dh will be there if he can get time off work.

Yes, definitely parents should be at school with the kids. I saw a couple of kids who went to collect their results 2 years ago without their parents crying inconsolably. I think it’s not just that they’re disappointed in themselves but also that they’ve disappointed their parents. If the parents were there they could have comforted them and put them at ease immediately instead of the kid wondering how they’re going to face their parents. You also don’t know what might be going through these kids’ minds.

Yes, parental support is very important. Couple of years back, a friend’s dd was very disappointed with her results but controlled herself while at school. The minute she got into the car, she couldn’t control herself and broke down. Luckily her parents were there for her. Sometimes, it’s not just their own disappointment but they felt that they have let their parents down, because mummy and daddy were fighting the war all the way with them. So yes, parents must be there for them.

You can bring your DD if you want. The schools usually do not restrict.
Have even seen entire families going together to get results - grandpa, grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.

As for me, DH and I will be going with DD. Would never miss such an important occasion. Must be there for DD, regardless of the results.

DH says he may not be able to take leave on 24/11 (i really don't understand what can be more important than DS getting his PSLE results :rant: ), so i will be going with DS to collect his PSLE results. Will bring DS2 along as he wants to give gor-gor his support (actually he seems more excited than his gor-gor ). Good to let DS2 experience the 'PSLE atmosphere' (joy, laughter, tears, sorrow etc), hopefully can make him 'wake up' and be more serious in his studies.. :slapshead:

I would think both parents should be there preferably, to support and be with the kids, regardless of results outcome. It’s an important day and milestone, first important national examination and only once in their lifetime, for their PSLE kids. It’s the presence that the kids will care and will most slightly remember like some of you have experienced and remembered, who were there or not there.


Though my DS has expressed that he will not wish my presence,as he may feel pressurized. I will respect him views and wishes. Most slightly will stand outside school (being a gan cheongsam dad) till he comes out with his results.

I was the top PSLE girl in my primary school day and I remembered walking to school alone to collect my results. I am now considering whether to let my DD go alone LOL…
