2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[janet88]

Just wondering if doing paper after paper is the way to go. Will the kids go :siao: ? Are the teachers explaining answers for open ended section, and if they are teaching students the correct way to answer.

The one day that my son went to school seemed to be fruitless...swop papers to mark and bring home more :faint: that day was hazy too, and he came home with wet eyes and blocked nose.

Recently ive been pumping her vith more vitamins like adult multivite, additional B vitamin if she has classes till nite. vit C, Dha. cod liver oil and a brain vitamin called IQ memory for alertness and focus. (will stop this after psle ) Shes still tired.

Errr.. Pity her liver, has to work extra hard :roll:

Ds's school will not have supplementary next week. Phew...that's the only time he is going to rest and I'm just going to leave him alone. I think we can't be putting so much pressure on them, give them lots of hugs and kisses. :please: :please: :rahrah: :rahrah:

For those still looking for Stabilo 1186 erasers, you can try Japan Home (6 pcs for $3.90).

Saw it at the Bugis branch yesterday, but the shop is undergoing reno soon.

Interested parents can try calling up other branches to check if they have stock.

I’m not sure why school is scaring the children as if PSLE is like the end of the world if they do not do well. They also attempted to reward them telling them if they improve by XX marks, they will get some materialistic thing. My child told me they are getting more scared. The school and staff must have some KPI to meet. Do they know that doing so may have the opposite effect?! Is that the right thing to do!?!!

I feel that this should be highlighted to HSK. He should know what is happening and what the school is doing in its attempt to get glory.
This is ridiculous ! Every child is already so stressed :mad: As long as they have done their best, that is EFFORT. It's obvious they are trying to exceed the KPI.
