PSLE 2009 RESULTS!!

[ChiefKiasu]

hashroop:

i just got back from school. Very disappointed with my son's results..he got 179 . 2c and 2b. I dont feel like reading this thread anymore because i keep seeing \"oh ive got 230, or 240, or 260 etc etc..\" Im happy for the all those who have performed well but why couldnt one of them be my son. We sent him from tuiton A to tuiton B to tuiton C. Spent $$$. Burnt the midnite oil..Prayed and prayed but what is the end results???

Hope someone can feel what I am feeling now....

hashroop, I know how disappointed you must feel. But remember that your son is probably feeling even worse than yourself since it is his own results. This is the time where he needs more love than anything else in the world. Hug him, cry with him, and make him understand that you will always be there for him, no matter what.

an extract from the above asiaone article

The 2009 Primary six cohort is the first batch of pupils under Subject-based Banding who sat for the PSLE.

Subject-based Banding, a refinement to the previous streaming system, was implemented from the 2008 Primary 5 cohort to give pupils the flexibility of taking a mix of subjects at Standard or Foundation levels depending on their strengths and abilities in each subject.


any idea how does this work?
is it a combination of foundation & standard subjects to arrive at T-score?
if one student takes all standard subjects & the other a combination, how is the comparison done?

thanks for your advice

cchho:

i think now the most import part is to get a school that fits the score last yr and pray that the child gets in to the first choice school.


Please, my girl got 229 i intent to put hai sing as first choice as i stay at tampines, any one can help, i don't know any thing abt that school.

Hi cchho,
I stay in Pasir Ris which is pretty near to Hai Sing. I see many HS students every morn when I go to work. They r basically quite well behaved and so far I have not seen any students misbehaving in public unlike some of the other neighbouring sec school (Smoking, hugging, hanging ard at the void deck) Hai Sing and Pasir Ris Crest has quite a good reputation in Pasir Ris. Hope it helps.

Monitors, maybe a separate thread for SBB (subject-based banding)


Sleepy, take a look at these :

Page 6 of
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/primary/files/primary-school-education-booklet.pdf

Subject-based banding begins in P5 and replaces the previous EM3 streaming. The PSLE T-score calculation remains the same.

Can anyone highlight why COP for TKGS is dropping every year. Girl in this thread also not sure about whether TKGS is good school!


May be time your daughter registered in S1 , it was good , is it still good school or a dying tradition!

My girl is in TKGS and will be in Sec 2 next yr. I agreed with Mathsparks that TKGS is a great school. FYI, TKGS is the Center of Excellence for English in the East Zone. Their standard for English are quite high compared to others. When my girl was in Sec 1, the school really \"drill\" the girls for exams. When I showed my girl's math test paper to my niece who teaches Maths in a neighbouring sec school, it was of pretty high standard which even her Sec 2 students r unable to do. That should explain why TKGS is a Band 1 school. My girl's current cohort even has girls who scored 270+. TKGS is one of the few schools which offer DEP (Drama Elective Programme) as a GCE 'O' level subject. To get into DEP, the girls need to score an \"A\" for English and Literature. Class size for DEP is kept small (abt 40 students). Hope this will convince u that TKGS is a good school.
