But going private doesn't solve the problem for all .. It only solve problem for the rich ..

A parent mentioned earlier that even if there is no PSLE, there is going to be O levels, A levels too…if kids are spared PSLE, they will not know the urgency of exams, or perhaps what an exam signifies when they eventually need to take one. This scrapping of PSLE is a topic which should not have started bcos the idea will not work.

I am only asking if stakes for PSLE can be lowered. Then, perhaps kids will not be overly stressed. Yes, the children today are more intelligent than us…but this doesn’t mean they should be stretched to the max.

Interesting.

B4 this, we see lotsa complains about the cons of having PSLE, people wishing there's no PSLE.
Now we seem to see more on the the cons without PSLE.

Those who want to get out of the system will go international school, it is an option for secondary school. Only primary has no option so now I am beginning to understand that the govt might be considering to allow able and sophisticated parents to send their kids to private schools from primary level.

Really?How ,when? You mean all the changes are in the guise of wanting to let parents have the option of international schools in pri level?

Lidat .. Parents who cannot afford to let their kids go private pri and sec schools will be bery bery stressss .... I definitely no agree ..[/quote]
Huh? Why? Singapore has world class edu system...

When DS and his class went to London for Science integration exchange program at P4, they were merged with the Sec 3's pupils there, whose Sci standard are only equivalent to Spore's P4....

but then again... with parents setting their own standards and this and that... the pressure will still be increased, cos only the very ks ones will join and being very ks, they will strive to be even better than the current model and dead, there goes to mainstream..

Oh I agree .. other countries like Australia .. Good schools are private schools and their fees are high too if I am not wrong ... I definitely don't agree following their footstep else all good schools eventually will be private school and gov schools are the lousy one .... Object !!!!! :mad:

SECOND!! :hi5:
