PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion
-
I wonder if we can have more statistics like top scores or percentage of students above 250 from all other neighborhood schools as well for a comparison.
In addition, given the profile of the top scorer, I wonder if it just pure hard work and brains only or more important to be in the right school, exposure to Maths Olympiad questions and other beyond syllabus stuffs or smaller class of 25 that will contribute to one’s stellar results in PSLE. Probably MOE should make every school like the top scorer’s school as apparently many schools are "far away" from it. -

Why r some parents here getting narrow minded about d GEppers n keep targeting them juz becos their own children r nt?
Those parents are not narrow minded and they are voicing up for the betterment of education system so that MOE can take all into consideration and make the best decision to tweak the current education system. Our dc either from mainstream or from GEP will benefit from the system eventually. -
OT a bit. Why do we get so antsy abt gep? Why dont we get agitated at the thought of training athletes, musicians, artists etc?? Why not question the humanities programme, AEP, MEP in schs? These are selective arent they?

Definitely smaller class size and more personalized training. See how the Pathlight student got 273? Shows how programmes in our mainstream schools can be improved. Maybe I should send my youngest to Pathlight too.

Why not? you can start to discuss on all those topics? The point is to have a more diversified discussion! :boogie: -

This seems to be true for 5 kids I know, out by at least 1 big figure from expectations.
True for my DD. But what does this mean?
1. Cohort mean score has gone up
2. number students having 260+ t-score have increased significantly. -

Our goal in education is to provide every child with the opportunity to develop holistically and maximise his or her potential. In creating opportunities for all, MOE will ensure that every school is a good school.
Probably some will get more opportunities ? Education is a child's basic right . Sports , arts , you have a choice…. -

Janet, I don't know how you managed to snap out of this so quickly. It makes it difficult for us as we sit down to choose the secondary schools.MKK:
It's getting more and more difficult to accept the results. Students who were performing so much lesser than her has outperformed her tremendously. What is wrong? Is it just exam luck? Should I get the papers to be assessed?
It's difficult but still have to accept.
What or where went wrong? Nobody knows...appealing may lead to something worse...so accept our lot and move on. Luck just was not with us then...we have done our best and so has the children.
Now we have to choose schools that we didn't even know existed. :stupid:
