All About T-Score

[ruohoo97]

MyBaby:

For me, a good PSLE score is when my child has put in his/her best effort. If the child has a positive learning attitude, listens in class, completes homework, do the necessarily revision and practice papers prior to examination and has given his/her best, then I, as well as my child, will be satisfied with the score.

exactly, good score to different one has different definition, as long as a child did his best within his capacity, that is good enough.

That reminds me a story of \"Ping\"-- a Chinese story about a king wanted to choose successor by using a flower--whosoever can grow the most beautiful flower from a flower seed given by king will be the next king. A little boy named ping did all he could do to attend a flower seed in hoping to have a beautiful blossom, but in the end, his effort was in vain. His flower pot was empty. His father told him, \"you have done your best, that is good enough for the King.\"

The courage of Ping to bring an empty pot in facing the King, while all others with splendid blossom, won him to be the next King, because all the flower seeds were pre-cooked.:)

Er...what has this to do with 'doing his best'?
Thought it's more like integrity issue for the rest. :scratchhead:

[quote=\"UncleLim\"]Even ITE is NOT the end of the world !!

Then, what is consider the end of the world to you?

I am sorry but I cannot bring myself to tell any of my children that the grades they attained is in \"The End of the World\" category. I believe the grading system, though not perfect, simply points to the fact that some children need to be taught in another environment, or at a different pace.
My friend struggled with his DS's low PSLE grades a few years ago. The boy is now thriving and doing well in ITE, studying Food Tech. He picked up music and cooking, achieved a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, made a lot of decent friends. Yes, it felt like the end of the world for the parents for a while. Especially if the parents are graduates or are sensitve to remarks made by friends and relatives. Or those of us who believe our kids need to be doctors, lawyers, CEOs or CFOs and if not we have failed as parents.

No label the education system slaps on my children will make me think it is the end of the world. We simply change course and make lemonade out of lemons.

(P/S: My wife met someone who suffered the double tragedy of have 2 (out of 3) children dying while studying abroad. Now that is end of the world for me. I don't think I can take that well. )[/quote] :goodpost:

MyBaby:

Why judge the worth of your child by a mere 3 digit?

Like. Very good statement. I shall keep that in mind.

As long as he did his best, even with a zero, is good enough.

top PSLE may not be top O/A, top A may not be top U, top U may not be top earners, top earners may not be most happy… so most happy may not be top PSLE

Haha, KSP, read the story first, with zero flowers, not zero in PSLE.
