Why screen kids in P1?

Maybe I am not a sophisticated parent. I was more concerned when she told me she had to poo in the middle of the surprised test. So I asked if she poo-ed or continued. When she said poo, I was so relieved and end of story, never spoken about the tests with her again. Funny right but that was all I cared! Hahaha

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Pooping is really important ok! Else she might end up like too many adults - \"full of ummm... sh**\". :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Oh boy... I misbehave. Please delete if too vulgar. I won't at all mind.

To begin with, my daughter didn't even tell me there was such a test.

But it's strange, it seems my two kids are exposed to different ways of testing. When my son was still in K2, he did a math test which comprises of more than 10 pages and had questions on fractions. The lady administering the test was somebody he has never seen in school too. :scratchhead:

Sigh, she even drew a simplified version of the answer sheet to explain to me. Top - to fill in name, school, date. Rest of the paper taken up by sections A - D on the same page while Section E is at the back. Most questions have 6 circles, and few have 8 circles. I was :scared: But she was nonchalant about it and said she 'checked' the answers...

Your dd very detailed.

Ok, with name and school fields, means tracking liao.

I guess registration will increase for centers that are training right and whole brains. :evil:

Maybe it's different for different schools. She told me that the school name was printed on it, no need to write.

haha, I think most parents would get their children to try the questions on website straightaway. No need to send for training. [/quote]That's the first step. but not for me. Now only have energy on her regular school work.

But what's the next step for parents when they find that their kids cannot get all the qns from the website correct? :evil:

I take a second look at David Chin’s letter. He said that his P3 dd did the same test at P1 too. So this test is around for at least 3 years now.


Not sure if MOE is comparing the results taken at P1 three years ago with the GEP screening test taken by the P3s this year.

Your dd is so much more detailed than my ds.

Just checking, what happened in other schools after these tests?


I know my son’s school had such a test in P1 term1 or 2 . But after the test ,there was NO shuffling of classes. Every child remained in the same class. That doesn’t seem like streaming to me.

Same here...she only spoke about it because of the poo... She hardly poo-ed in school so that was special. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
