Straits Times today reported Minister of State LW stating that scrapping PSLE not the solution. Read on.....

Yay! They've just made a HUGE change with taking away banding... and SEA. There will already be plenty to do trying to see both changes through to stability and calm. I'm not sure people and MOE itself are ready to cope with taking away PSLE.

Some pressure is needed, that's why we need PSLE. But this pressure should not be overwhelming. If kids do not face PSLE, they won't know the urgency at O levels, A levels. But Mr HSK and Mr LW, please lower the stakes. At 11+, 12 years old, the poor kids are stressed.

My sentiments too...

During our time, there’s no pressure at all. Think because time has changed & there’re so much competition out there, no wonder parents & kids are under pressure. Still need to wait till p6, then I can c the real fire. Now I still very relax.

Aiyah, last time our parents a lot no cert one, so as long as we do better than them, we already not bad.
But now most of us want our kids to have better professions than ourselves...sure more challenging.

Precisely...when were we ever so stressed then? The damn rat race starts at P6 now. Sorry, very very tired and stressed.

Yes, you can still relax until P5. When your child goes to P6, you will definitely feel the fire.

Janet,

I already sensed your anxiety in those studies thread. Quite frightening.
Currently just make sure their foundation is strong, then add on more things for them to learn.
