Thanks, we parents definitely need lots of strength to survive the BIG thing. Stress doesn't end on Oct 2nd or 3rd, there is another stress after that - secondary school posting.

This is so true and I am speaking from experience. After PSLE is over, you will stress over the results. Then after results are out, you will stress over choice of school. After you have chosen the schools, you will stress over school posting results. By then , it's end of Dec. And when you finally think that the stress is over, the Sec 1 stress begins.[/quote]Take one step at a time. You really sound very stressful & scary to me. We might end up giving too much stress to the kids. Must learn how to release stress. Stress management is very important or else will break down.

Hahahaha :rotflmao: no wonder you are in ER (Emergency Room) :evil: ....jkjk
Take one step at a time, scale each mountain as it comes lor.
I see PSLE as a journey, for those who embark on this journey together with DS/DD, you will share the laughter and tears of DS/DD. It is one of the rare and last times when you will be this close and involved in his/her life, studies, tuition, school, lessons. After that, most will let go and release the kid in Secondary School, thus the PSLE memory is actually something quite unique to such parents.

Once the kids enter Sec 1, that's the time for us to relax and another stress will haunt us later. :nailbite: It's 'O' levels.[/quote]In Sec 1, the stress for the 'O' levels is already on... Haishhh

It looks like a 9 month affair, but in actual fact, it is a whole year thing. Fortunately, all the CA/SA is purely an indication of son's progress and what he is weak in...marks are not taken into consideration for BIG picture.


After PSLE finishes in Oct, then choosing sec schools and results of posting, it's pure torture. :frustrated:
When my son sits for his O levels, my younger one would be sitting for her PSLE. By then, I should be able to hands off my older one. :xedfingers:

That's what I thought before my DS started Sec 1. You'll know what I mean next year. Enjoy the PSLE journey now.

Hi everyone,

Yes, the heat is on! Have stepped up my DS's revision efforts. Put up a daily schedule etc. Hopefully it works! Good luck to all. To borrow Obama's initial presidential campaign cry, \"Yes, we can!\"

The heat is indeed ON
The weather is also very HOT
Tomorrow I have to plan a new weekly time-table for my son.

[mummy so kiasu]

Wow.. You guys are fantastic! :udawoman: I have difficulties following the time table due to my son's school & tuition homework. Not forgetting his tuition & supplementary classes. Anyway, will try to ask him to do his revision on those days with lesser homework. Have to make sure he has sufficient rest & not overloaded too.

Like what my son's once fav cartoon Bob the builder always ask, 'Can we fix it ?' YES, WE CAN :rahrah:
It's going to be tough ride ahead, but we must work with our kids to help achieve them achieve their dream of getting into their choice secondary schools.
