PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

[Bondgirl]

Agree! Our kid’s well being more important to us. Not scores. Don’t need to stress them so much at this age. They hv lots more to go thru in life. PSLE is just onestep. Just stand by them and be their support.

Dear Janet


I'm in the same boat as you. My DD cried when she got her result. But the minute she saw me, she hold back her tears. When we r home, she told me she's going to hv her bathe (she's crying inside). I'm worried for her. Upfront she pretend to be ok, but I know she's not. :(.

Dear Buds

After reading your post, I felt slightly better. Maybe after tomorrow, I will share it with my DD.

Thanks

Very envious can go ri

Nothing to envy about.

Most impt is to find a school that matches the child's ability and personality.

My DS did not do as well as expected and once he received the result, I could see from his face how disappointed he is. Although we tried to play down the episode, my wife and I still find it hard to contain our disappointment, especially as he has been consistently scoring better in school exams.

Now, we simply hope that he could get into a nearby SAP school after her got a Merit for higher MT. But it will not be easy and just need to keep our fingers crossed. :xedfingers:

My son was holding back tears when he came down...I was stunned but didn't register until I reached home. Then tears flowed. Son said he wanted to take a bath but I heard him sobbing.
Hubby didn't know how to comfort me so he told me to let it all out and move on. Good or bad, it's over.

[quote=\"4_my_son\"]Hi,

I need some advice. DS got 250+1.
Would this be enough for an IP programme? Any school to recommend?

It seems 250+1 is good enough for many good schools e.g. SJI, VS, CHS, ACS(I) under the O-level track, but falls short of the cut-off point for IP programme A-Level track. So near, yet so far........

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

From a concerned dad.

perhaps u can try first choice IP programme of a secondary school then the second choice is the O level programme of the same secondary school, in this way if the child does not get the IP programme, the child can still go to the same dual programme secondary school and try again at the end of sec 2 for admission into sec 3 IP.

Will it be easier to gain admission to the IP in School A if you were from the O level track of School A, than if you were from School B?

That is, is there any advantage of being in the O level track of a dual-track school?[/quote]I believe so ... they would probably give priority to their own students first if they qualify ...
