Ya lor. Very worrying. It has repercussion to the society not to mention their own kiddos.SAHM_TAN:
I will be very worried if scores of pple are depressed if they are not able to be in the top 10%.
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

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.SAHM_TAN:

I hope you are no longer depressed over it.[/quote]Nah, PSLE doesn't really count for much in secondary school. The year I was in Sec 1 was placed in the third class in SCGS. 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.Skyed:

To me, it wasn't even bad at all :oops: , it was about 250. I guess it's all about managing expectations. I wonder how the child felt. :sad:Sun_2010:
