PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

[KSP]

rains:

...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.....

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.

Then there were like 5 people who entered the school with scores of 260+ dropping to the 3rd last class because they heck care and play. And there were those who from 3rd last or 2nd last class (scores of 210-220 for PSLE) improved to the 3rd best class in sec 2.
