        DKWhy:
        One can choose to be kancheong or even kiasu or whatever.


        If one has chosen to be so, then perhaps he/she should take up all the stress and pressure instead of keep harping and harping and harping non-stop.

        This forum seems like lacking balance views from parents who are more ‘relaxed’ and more level-headed and the KC and KS ones are much more vocal. Therefore, not-so-KC and KS parents have to note that this forum is not a balanced one when you read about how difficult and how tough the whatsoever and whatsoever is. It is NOT THE TRUTH (unless you are going after results for super sec schools then maybe you need to be KC and KS to that extent else please, there is really plenty of time to smell roses instead of burying your nose in schoolwork).

        I wonder why no parents whose kids enjoy schooling participate more in this forum to give this forum a more balanced view instead of making it so lop-sided. It’s just a PSLE and why it sounds like it’s a major war?

        :goodpost:

        I am one of the non KC/KS one; but like Nebbernind said, the typical non KC/KS ones just cannot be bother to engage in these topics.

          That's why we must push for workday to end by 6pm!

          This is only possible if working in a local platform. Global platform means working Asian + European + American hours. Good day means leave at 9pm, bad day after midnight. 🤷

          Can only call home to make sure kids are studying on their own and hope they are telling the truth. :xedfingers:

            Typical non-Kc/Ks are probably also more Bo-chup?? So naturally engage less 😉
            I think all of us have some degree of kc & ks.......but probably some feel more intensely & will harp more :rant: Again, also a natural behaviour 😄

              It's really depends on how KS one is.

              Just read a thread asking if tuition is necessary for NJC...if already DSA (acad) into NJC, or can get in via S1 (t-score = mid 250), then must be already quite good what. Still need tuition meh?
              I mean, last time many of us also not anywhere close to RI calibre, no tuition...yet still went on to complete O, A and a degree.

                1. Allocate Pri/Sec/JC Schs by zone, child MUST attend schs nearest to home address allocated by MOE based on distance.

                2. Ban ALL tuition centres.
                3. Remove all streaming system.
                4. Remove COP.

                  every year when the PSLE results release we can see the TOP students are from so and so tuition centres....
