My factory has closed shop long ago, so no chance to relive this experience again. There are moments I wish I have known earlier, I would have make different choices.

Cherish the time you have with your child now, they will soon become more independent preparing to leave the nest. Spend more time to make memories you want your child to remember of you. Definitely not how mummy make me do tons of tons of worksheet and markings and corrections, or mummy keep picking on my mistakes all the time, even though I have tried my best.

Instead, pick an interesting qn to discuss at dinner and hear their thoughts and share different views from various angles. The process of us going through our analysis and come to a conclusion, imparting our thoughts process is what we can do as parents. I wish I know earlier, parents are not supposed to take on the role of a teacher or educator.

A few years down the road they will face another national exam again or later in life, other form of challenges. By then, they will be mostly on their own. Do we parents want them to remember their detested memories of exam from PSLE, which may result in exam phobia etc or do we wish they have great memories to fall back on, that they know, they still have their port of refuge to turn to? What do we do at times of panic? The strength to keep them going.

My boy came home after first papers, he shared that the invigilator told them before the start of paper, that yawning helps them to relax. I believe, this memory will stay with him for a long time.

CNA
How to raise a lifelong learner, rather than a child who simply aces exams
With the imminent release of the PSLE results, a researcher discusses how preparing children for life—not just exams—requires us to relearn learning by thinking long-term and outside the (academic) box.

Thx. I know U mean well, I know this researcher means well, all perfectly good advice.

However, I’m very cynical right now. Child is lifelong learner, always thinking outside the box, don’t need nagging to learn own non-academic stuff that he wants to learn. BUT cannot ace exams. MOE does not reward such kids. PSLE still is first and foremost the huge hurdle to clear before we can talk big.[/quote]

I am also wondering the same thing as ynwa9:

“Should we interpret the AL scores as indicative of what their expected PSLE score will be?”

Can any 2021 PSLE parent comment on whether their child’s P5 SA2, P6 SA1 and P6 prelims AL scores were fairly consistent? (I know PSLE result is not out yet, but would be nice if you can update us after it’s out too.)[/quote]

Hi parents, anyone with boys who just took the P5 SA2 exams in SJIJ recently? The English and Chinese papers were very difficult and the marks my boy (and many of his classmates) obtained were much lower than usual. Wondering what was behind the school’s thinking behind setting such tough papers. Should we interpret the AL scores as indicative of what their expected PSLE score will be?

OT:

@MrsKiasu. Yes, these days school does not seem to include much heuristics, so if we need to know have to learn on our own

Our CC didn't cancel, they postponed; we didn't register, so the CC sent the certificate hardcopy to school, & teacher quietly passed it to us

I pm-ed you :-)[/quote]

Now to catch up on my work backlog :faint:

Congratulations! Well, you can take this as a run up to next year's PSLE
P5 exams are usually quite tough to give the kids some taste of what's to come for PSLE.
As they say, it's time to wake up and smell the coffee... [/quote]
