PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

[pixiedust]

Hi Janet!


I wanted to post earlier but my PC crashed out on me :slapshead:

Since 2011, we've posted in the P5 threads and we all know the headaches, hardwork and efforts we've put into our kid's PSLE. The kids have worked hard too. Like you posted in the other thread, PSLE exam is a one event and anything can happen. Sometimes, luck, the \"form\" of the kid on that day, exam anxiety etc etc, so many many things beyond our control.

You know that your ds has already given it his best shot and you and your family has given him your best support. I also hope that you can bring a closure to this and move on to the next phase with your ds on a happy note. For what it is worth, \"all roads lead to Rome\" and this is just the first leg of a really long journey. Better to re-charge and face the next battle :imcool: then to waste your energy and get :mad:. Think again, I am sure your son did not waste the 6 years. In fact, he learnt a great deal - both academic and life skills.

I also think FQW meant no harm. With so much controversies around the forums these days, I hope at least our batch who hang around the \"School\" sections will remain cordial.

Wish your son all the best as he embarks on Secondary school journey! Cheers!

FQW:

PH has been a SAP sch for many yrs. The pupils take HCL from P1 till P4; in P5, the less-proficient ones will drop HCL for normal CL. For lower pri, art, music and other non-core subjects are taught solely in MT.

Pei Hwa is opposite of Nan Chiau. Pei Hwa Sec is not a SAP school whereas Pei Hwa Pri is a SAP school.

Somehow I feel I am still hanging in the air.

Hi Janet,


I agree with other mummies that you should start the new journey happy.

If you should go and meet the vp or teacher/s, do go with the intention to reconcile. Your boy’s primary school journey has ended. Let it end well and end the confrontation and finger-pointing, becos anymore of those would serve no purpose except to make the teachers more bitter against you and your son. Think about your son in whatever you do/want to do. As mothers, we would lay down our lives for our kids without batting an eyelid. Think about how your meeting with the vp and teachers would impact him, emotionally and psychologically. Would it benefit him? If it does, go ahead. Would it embarrass him? Would it affect him negatively? If it affects him in a not-so-fruitful way, you may want to think if it’s worth it. If you badly need to meet the vp and teachers, please be mindful of your son’s little heart. The position you take, the tone you use, the words you say - make them count towards bringing a closure for your son, not just yourself.

Above all, don’t be defensive. The teachers would become defensive the moment they sense defensiveness. And the whole meetup would become aggressive.

At this moment, I believe your son would want to look forward to his secondary school life rather than dwell on what can’t be changed. He will need alot of your support to help him transit into teenagehood. Whatever you decide to do, don’t use your energy in futile ways. Save your energy for him.

Hi rains,
I agree with you...you have been most humble, kind and gracious like many other parents. There is no reason to be unpleasant with the VP. She has been utterly apologetic about this and had explained she will act on this only after my child has left the school.
Moving on is most important...yes, energy should be spent correctly.

Yeah, resentment and anger are heavy baggage and should not be held on to. :imcool:

no point carrying forward to a new year right?...since i have already escalated the issue to the respective authority, the case is over. my unhappiness earlier was over comments made which i felt rather hurting...in my opinion, they were uncalled for.
