Hi psle2011mum,


This is deep from my heart. Thank you so much for sharing generously.

As a parent of a child facing PSLE next year, I appreciate what you posted...truly first hand experience.

Hi kaka, elkniwt, mn and janet_lee88


Happy to share and glad if it helped you and your DC.

I just wanted to add that some of the things I learnt, I did only because many other generous Mummies freely shared with me what worked for their kids too. We were greatly blessed and now just trying to do a little to pass what we learnt on.

All the best everyone!

I believe subjects like Math can be improved within 11 months. So don’t give up!! My student failed her Math in prelims and she managed to pass her Math in PSLE. Of course, she has really intensive Math lessons with me. Twice a week and two hours each. Sometimes even up to 3 hours! She has such good concentration!

Hi linden2000


You are very welcome.

Many factors converged to help me cope with work and DD-PSLE but that is another story - really too boring to share …

In fact, all the parents here are blessed to have psle2011mum sharing what she had gone through.


<The system expects a lot out of our kids these days and there is a GAP in the system [ between what is taught and what is tested] which I feel not many kids can bridge by themselves. So will YOU stand in the gap for your children? I assure you, you won’t regret it. > written by psle2011mum

I totally agree with you. That's why I'm here in kiasuparents. Feels that school doesn't teach enough and test them more than what they've learnt in school. I can't afford tuition for 2 kids as $$ already spent on piano lessons so need to coach them myself. Also, I've a baby to take care. I'm fighting for time and energy now. Really appreciate the comments you input here. Your words to me are as good as gold.

:thankyou:

Yes, maths is about practice, being careful and having right strategies...and a good coach/tutor as well. My son is having twice weekly sessions with his tutor which started 1 week after SA2 this year.

Trying to get my son to move into 1st gear this week, 2nd or 3rd next week...teachers will not be allowing any honeymoon at P6.

Psle2011mum,


Thanks ever so much for your posts. :thankyou:

Some days I really wonder if I'm a crazy mum who has to put in so much for my DS when so many other mums I know are just breezing through PSLE. Now I know I'm not and it's really not DS who faces problems with schoolwork.
