PSLE 2009 Top Student Predictions
-
jedamum:
My prediction is Catholic High School because their secondary school did http://news.asiaone.com/News/Education/Story/A1Story20090112-114068.html so the primary school is motivated to do well this year.
But hor ... usually girls perform better than boys in PSLE. :roll: -
My prediction is Nanyang primary School.
Their school vision is to be a World Class Primary school hence they can produce TOP PSLE scorer too! -

Ya. Many big wigs' children here. Even a concert hosted by the school has performers like Zoe Tay (probably PV hours for her son), Steffanie Sun (??) & Chen Siew Huan (her kids are there, one taken PSLE this year). Politician's kids - many. Good genes? Probably. But also lots of $$ to groom their kids.//Moderator's note: Most creative/useful prediction Award
My prediction is Nanyang Primary School because
3) many political officials' children are there, and hence the children who inherit the good genes are more likely to be cream of the crop.

I predict the top student will come from Catholic High.
Why ?
Because listening to my friends with kids there, Cat/High must surely have among the most boastful and kiasu parents in Spore. -
My vote goes to NYPS for the following reasons:
(1) Same principle as last year, history may repeat. :lol:
(2) Past few years records showed top students are from GEP, NYPS has the most number of GEP students, so chance is higher.
(3) Last but not least, NYPS has a lot of Kiasu parents who are Stay-At-Home and highly educated since their DH are garmen pp. -

On Catholic having the most kiasu parents- I met a Korean lady in June whose kid is in P1 this year. She said that many mummies often ask her son about his marks constantly he is apparently one of the top kid in class. She told me that she was so STRESSED… and to keep up with good results, she sends her son to learning lab, and also for pte chinese tuition with a NYPS teacher.
Of course, she does not represent all Catholic High parents but is probably a good example of kiasu index there. -

My prediction is Raffles Girls' Primary School.
The reasons are
1) they have very dedicated teachers there.
2) the last time they produced the top student was 2006 and they have missed the trophy for 2 years (2007, 2008), this year they have a new P and may be tasked to get back the trophy.
3) based on the past statistics, the PSLE top students are mostly girls and being a GEP girl school will definitely stand a higher chance of producing one.
4) read from other forums that there is a P6 girl from RGPS who is the top of all GEP schools.
5) last but the most important point is my dd is studying there, hope having a top student in her school will inspire her to study hard. -

I have students who are graduants from CHS (Primary). Their parents are really as described above. Can get quite scary as they find means & ways to get teachers' personal contact numbers and keep calling to ask for feedback or keep calling to complain!On Catholic having the most kiasu parents- I met a Korean lady in June whose kid is in P1 this year.
