PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

janet_lee88:
with lesser than 24hrs to go :nailbite:
spread out the reporters like 2 to a school and then compare notes...but moe said no naming of top student.bupashu:
probably by 1pm (within an hour of the result release) the reporters would have found who / where is the top scorer.
the result slip shows the top and bottom score of the cohort, beside showing the candidate's own score
reporters only need to stake out a few usual schools and the news will be out in no time as to who is top from where
it certainly makes news reporting more exciting than before
this year's news reporting is definitely more exciting and fun :rotflmao:
and there will be no official announement from MOE for top PSLE student, guess there will definitely be more speculations tmr....
all the best to the P6ers :celebrate: -
janet_lee88:
can trace / obtain the answer ...
this year's news reporting is definitely more exciting and fun :rotflmao:
usually in the hall with all P6 pupils gathered waiting anxiously for release of results, Principal in each school will announce Top 3 candidate names with highest T score achieved, in the school.
compare around in this forum, we'll soon know which school in SG produces top scholar - Mainstream or GEP. (2012 PSLE) -

Are you going to start the thread to list the top scorers for each school?

Yes, reporters all gear up, on ready standby inside school hall in schools including Rulang - last year produced Top scholar (from Mainstream).
Not sure if Rulang repeat the pattern this year, or another school (dark horse) spring a surprise (by a foreigner pupil).
eg: Qiu Biqing , from Qifa primary school. -
Just heard from radio news…
There won’t be announcement of the Top PSLE student and schools from this yr onwards.
That includes for the next coming GCE ‘O’ levels too.
Any views? -
janet_lee88,
you and your son able to sleep tonight ? :rotflmao:
count down ... less than 24 hours, from now.
clock ticking, ticking, ticking -

MOE finally doing the right thing.
I'm not sure. In my humble opinion, it is an over-reaction to all the negativity about the stress level of PSLE. Obfuscation of results doesn't make the stress go away.
If anything, I think it is unjust for the top PSLE scholars this year. They have worked hard for their good results, and they deserve the honors of being officially announced as the top scholars in Singapore. Academic prowess is nothing to be ashamed of!
If no one sets the bar for others to follow, then everyone will end up being contented with mediocre levels. In the long term, we will end up with a sub-standard education system just because we are afraid of people complaining about failing to make the grade. Look at the UK's ensuing debate about the low national GCSE standards versus the more rigorous GCE 'O' Levels taken by international students - how it is blamed for the poorer performance of UK secondary school students versus equivalent students in other countries in international competitions.
PSLE is just a ruler that we use to measure students for their fit to go to various schools. If we are taller, we have to wear longer pants. If we are short and we want to wear longer pants, we have to put in the effort to eat and exercise more so that we can (hopefully) grow taller. Or we simply wear the pants that we are most comfortable with, because we have the highest chance of overall success if we use the tools that suit us best.
If we can understand this fundamental principle, there would be much less complaints about how tall the PSLE ruler is set at. The stress stems from parents' fear of their children not \"meeting the cut\" and ending up in a \"2nd rate\" secondary school. If anything, MOE should look more into convincing parents about the merits of these \"2nd rate\" secondary schools to put them at ease that the schools are really the best fit for their children. That would be addressing the stress directly, instead of simply sweeping PSLE results under the carpet. -

straits times today has already mentioned that kiasuparents will come up with a list. actually, i don't think holding back the names of top scorer and school will be kept secret...all the more reporters will try ways and means to find out.
