All About Preparing For PSLE

[mummy so kiasu]

Wow… It seem that everyone is talking about scoring 100 in lower pri. My elder son who took PSLE last year did not score 100 in any of the subjects, not even in P1. His PSLE results were alright, top 10% in PSLE cohort.


My P2 girl is even worst, she got band 2 for Chinese. I have to give her more time. She is more playful than her elder brother. Don’t judge your kids so early. Some of them are late bloomer. Just make sure their foundation are good.

i agree with you totally...foundation must be strong...it's pointless reaching the top without a strong base.

son is picking up slowly at sec 1 this year...before that, it has been an uphill struggle. daughter at p3 is worst...playful, rebellious and totally different from brother...i can get son to do his work, at most he will complain but will still do it...with daughter, i have to be very firm and most of the time raise my voice...even chinese tutor tells me the same thing.

My son told me that his one of his classmates got 3 strokes of cane because he only got 99.5 instead of 100 in CA Maths recently :yikes: I told my son maybe if I start canning him, his result will be 99.5. I told him that it is cheaper to buy a cane than paying for tuition :rotflmao: :rotflmao: The form teacher knows about the canning but cannot do anything.


Some parents are really too much :siao: although that particular student has 2 brothers managed to get into RI. It is enviable but I myself won't like to be canned so why should I cane my son? :siao:

I think it is unacceptable to cane the child if he did not get a prefect score. Young kids need a lot of encouragement. My boy received his results for CA1. His marks were commendable although he did not receive 100 marks for every subject. It was close enough. My boy was the one who was upset as he lost 2 marks due to careless mistakes for his Maths paper. DH and I took him out to celebrate. Kids also need to relax. We just surprised DS with breakfast at Swensons today

It's very pitiful to hear that.
Just bcos 2 brothers are in RI, doesn't mean youngest one must go there too.
99.5 is so so so good...what's the prob with the parents?

It is unacceptable but we could not do anything. Canning is still allowed here. Even the form teacher cannot do anything.

Something is very wrong with these parents. I say they are very cruel. They valued academic marks to the last decimals, over their child’s well-being. The child is young now, there is little he can do, wait till he is older…he may rebel or worse, lost motivation to study because what he does is just not good ENOUGH for his parents.

Ha..ha.. Time has change. I though girls suppose to be more obedient & easier to manage but our girls prove us wrong.
