PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

[rains]

fattypie:

Hi all,


Most only notice the the top list in Nyps. But I witness my neighbor's child who was posted to a neighborhood sec school last year. Both the child n mother were depressed. They distance themselves from neighbors nowadays.

My niece's schoolmate at scgs, also come from Nyps. For three years, this girl never brief a word of where she came from. Finally, at the end of sec3, my niece discovered that she is a geppers from Nyps. Till now, this girl still feel depressed.......sad right.

I think people need to see these kids as being no diff from kids from any other schools. Going to a good school doesn't guarantee good sec schools for the kids.

I was talking with a friend about psle before the release of psle results. She made this statement,\"What's the point in going to Nyps if you are not going to score at least 240?\" That makes me feel that the public also pose unrealistic expectations on these kids, knowingly or unknowingly.

There are kids with learning difficulties even in Nyps. The majority of the kids get scores below 250. There are kids who go to normal stream. There are kids who scrape past 200. It's unfair to expect kids to do well just becos they don a particular uniform.

I know of kids who feel inadequate when they get 240+ bcos they are among the lowest in the class. But it's nonetheless a good score.

Only about 8? secured by DSA, but they're the type that confirm will get in type. Easily 6 for L1R5 + -4 from HCL and CCA.

Those are excellent results. Maybe you'll get those results too.

this is like asking why bother to go uni if you are not going to earn more than 10k/mth..... :faint: :faint: :faint:

come on, nothing is for sure in life.... but at least the parents try their best to put their kids in good schs... the rests are all depend on the kids' performance...

I guess should 往高处看 but I cannot understand why pple will be depressed if they are in SCGS. I guess the target is RGS but seriously SCGS is also a good school. No?


Yup. I would be very happy if my kids can score 240 when it’s their turn at PSLE. Maybe I’m not worldly enough but to me that’s a bloody good score.

I will be very worried if scores of pple are depressed if they are not able to be in the top 10%.

SCGS is a good school. We have extremely dedicated teachers

I-am-in-an-rambling-mood-today. So allow me ramble :please:

The point is would you be very worried if scores of parents are depressed that their DCs are not in the top 10%?

If so , time to start worrying

Ya lor. Very worrying. It has repercussion to the society not to mention their own kiddos.

I’m not suggesting not to aim high or not to be ambitious or whatever that will make our ctry great. But to be depressed over not being in the top 10% is not healthy. Of course depression in itself is not healthy but to be depressed over the 10% thing is doubly unhealthy.

When I took my psle in 08 and got 254 and was top 10% my mom cried in disappointment because I couldn't go into the top schools... End up I was actually ok with my score then become depressed over it.

I hope you are no longer depressed over it.
