Appeal to be bottom VS stay w sch within Mean score
-
Dear Parents,
I am interested to find out if you would prefer (after PSLE, your child is allocated to a school- which is 1 of the 6 choices) :
1) stay in the allocated school which your child's PSLE results is the mean of the school
OR
2) appeal ( and if successful :imcool: ) to a school with cutoff +5 points above your child's PSLE results.
Basically, I would like to find out the pros and cons of each and especially parents who had done so, can the child cope.

Consider child character:
If the child is the cheong type … give him some stretch. Option 2
If the child gets demotivated by being in bottom of class … Option 1.
Consider other aspects: travelling time, culture of school etc
In a nutshell, child chances of being happy in the school should be the priority -
after my son is in 2nd yr of sec… for him i deduce Option 1 is better… cos he looks the cheong type but when he is at bottom he lose steam… haiz…
