KSmom8:
Wow, you are really a very sensitive mom...how do you hide the frustration? nowadays kids are smart...they can sense it even if they dont see it.The most important thing I learnt as a parent was to support my child. The 2nd most important thing was to hide my stress / frustration from him.
P6 is a very stressful year for the kids and parents. I was more stressed as a parent of a child taking the PSLE than when I was taking my PSLE many many years ago. -

Haha... I should have said TRY to hide the stress and frustration. You are right, DS probably did sense it.

FYI, ACS(I) 2013 sec 1 COP is 249 for express stream for non-feeder schools and 256 for 6 years IP IB programme.
Total students intake is 270 for express stream and 180 for IP programme.
IP programme DSA vacancy is 90.
Sec 1 central posting vacancy is 90.
missed out the numbers for express stream DSA and sec 1 central posting.
Got the above statistics from this morning Open House. -

how much/little and whether the child is ready for it is dependent on this exam...this is why it is so high-stakes. as a parent, i was very stressed last year...how much to push and when to hold back before burnt out.
hubby couldn't take leave until 2 weeks before the first paper. -

But exam release that day must cos I scared. :nailbite: Just In case he has to manage one/two of us :rotflmao: -
My mum took leave when I took my PSLE many years ago.
She took leave to supervise me and make sure I had proper meals.
Moral support is just too important. -

I asked my husband,\"If you don't go, what if the two of us go and jump off a building?\"

He went. -
I am not sure if son wants me to go during release date. My parents treated my psle as non issue as I was the third one sitting. But I dreamt a few months ago that I was getting my psle results again. I felt very upset that they were not as anxious as me.
So I am going to check if he wants me around by then. I can always hide behind pillars at the void deck beside the school main gate.
