2011 PSLE Results Day 24 Nov
-
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.

Wonder can I or should I bring my younger dd there too.. :scratchhead:
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…

During my time, I do not recall parents accompany their kids to go and collect result. Kids these days are more fortunate. If my DS is collecting his result, I would want to be there too, for support as well as to know the 1st hand news of his result for he would never bother to call and tell me.

All of us include my ds1 will there on Thursday. I think it is very important for parents to be there. Good or bad result, the child will still need the moral support from their dad and mum. About 50 hours more to go.

I don't understand why not? I've applied leave way ahead even before PSLE exam ended and told him to do so as well. But last night, he said he cannot take leave... so upset.
Anyway, I definitely want to be there to share the moment with DS. See ya. -
