The crux is to know what's the best for the kid.
Yes, think it largely depends on the kid's capabilities and personality. Some kids thrive on competition and it's what gets them going. They need to be constantly challenged and are not contented to 原地踏步. Whereas for others, competition is stressful and they want to avoid it at all costs. So really depend on the kids themselves and not necessarily true that those who are doing advanced work beyond their age are unhappy, stressed, hothoused or pushed by parents. Could be the kids themselves enjoy the challenge. -

Hi fifiyeo,
Take it easy...I know you are anticipating some form of 'war' ahead. But nobody can do anything about the results.
Yes, sadly so.
Anyway, whatever our choice is, it's going to be shot down.
Lets see when the time comes... -

Hang in there! :snuggles:fifiyeo:
Our case is very difficult to handle. Wonder what will happen when results are released. It's parent-in-laws who are putting us all down. They are expecting top 10 schools which won't happen and if we tell them off, there will be WAR! Grades and status are everything to them. Wish us luck! Hate to be ridiculed by them.
Been doing that. Actually avoids them most of the time so DS don't have MIL questioning him about his results. Even tries to bribe him with $$$ if he show her the results. Anyway, now DS enjoying himself. Time to \"torture\" the younger one with studies from tomorrow onwards??? ... if I can start my engine.

I know that kind of shit...back then it was between us cousins. Those relatives never fail to call up when results are out, be it any exam...but the they never do other than that.
Yes, sadly so.janet_lee88:

Im not looking forward to high marks for my dd, just hoping that she will obtain marks that is equivalent to what she obtained in school or a score that is close to the school she was offered CO. Problem is she suddenly went blank during her chinese compo for 10 mins and after she snapped out of it she decided to choose the other (i think without Pictures) and had little time left to end well. Going to loose marks.
For science, she normally hv enuff time to check thru but for the psle she finished on the dot.
She was so frustrated that she came back laughing and screaming after her science. -
At the beginning of this year, I read a post composed by a mum whose daughter just completed PSLE...even printed it out to remind me of the DOs and DON'Ts. The first point: It's a marathon, not a sprint. This set of pointers gave me strength to accompany my son on his journey this year. Sorry I cannot remember the name of the mum who composed this...but :thankyou:

Yes, Janet, agreed with you.
Back then, I have relative called at 10 am to check dd T score when results only officially released at 12pm.After 12pm, hp rings non stop.
Yes, sadly so.
Anyway, whatever our choice is, it’s going to be shot down.

It's such a coincidence there are cousins the same age for each level.Yes, Janet, agreed with you.

So the comparison was always there. When the phone rang continuously, it's like we placed ad for sale :rant: ringing non-stop. -
