2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[Q Pan]

Actually, this little epoch between PSLE and Secondary Education is wonderful so far. My school has arranged excursions to museums, one-week immersion programmes to places as far as South Korea, and post-PSLE tournaments for us. We have taken a hiatus off learning. There is absolutely no need to worry about PSLE — whether it was "scrumptious" or "sumptuous"; whether it was "28" or "44". THE PAPERS HAVE BEEN MARKED. So, I suggest, as we say in Singaporean vernacular Hokkien, just "kiao kah dua guitar".

Hi fifiyeo,

Daughter’s Chinese tutor came today…asked me to revise some sections before her exam on Tue. Told her I will try and explained to her that I am burnt after PSLE. She told me it is normal bcos the marathon had been very intense…I will definitely be up and about by end Dec, after sec school posting and buying of books. Tutor’s daughter is doing her A levels.

I want to ‘taiji’ son’s Sec 1 stuff to hubby…as well as daughter’s Math and Science next year…take a backseat.

I am burnt...but when it comes to retail therapy and FUN, I am all for it :rotflmao: Hubby had taken leave for the last 2 Fridays...just asked him when will he be taking leave again...since he has so many days to clear.

I'm really playing hard...feel like a rubber band releasing energy.

DH says I'm the stronger one academically and more on the ball so the coaching stays with me. Bobian

I'm got a list of this year must achieve personal goals. So post PSLE is the start of DS SA2 push and household issues and work to target. The race is not yet over. Will see what's done and not done by 31 Dec 2012.

Guess I set a whole list of targets because I'm kinda of prepared that PSLE might not be so good for me and I might be really down when results are out. Anyway, still always hoping for the best.

Hey fifiyeo,

I am not strong academically…but hubby hates wordy stuff. So for English and Chinese, I have no choice but follow closely.
After Thursday ie gal’s last exam, I have to attend to son’s dental treatment. He has to start braces.

We are done with our 12 year olds only by Christmas…getting uniforms and new books.

MOE only publish PSLE release around 22 - 26 Nov unlike in the past they used to publish the an exact date. Base on past record it has always been a Thursday of the the 3rd week of Nov. Hope they stick to this practice and announce on 22 Nov. Have purchased the budget airline ticket at beginning of the year to fly on 24 Nov!

Anyone know if the exact date this year is going to be 22 Nov2012 ?

I am also hoping it will be around this date...bcos my hubby cannot take leave the next week...that leaves us slightly less than 1 month.

Same dilemma here, my DS is booked on a trip on 24 Nov to London with his cousins and my sister and her hubby. My DS's teacher told them that the results release date should be 22 Nov Thursday. I checked the calendar and realized that 23 Nov is a Friday. It could be that day too. 24 to 25 are Sat and Sun. So results is unlikely to release on these two days. Then again it could be 26 Nov which is a Monday. By then DS will not be around to collect results.

Anyway I called the school and they told me that parents can collect the result slips and apply for choice of sec school on his behalf.
