Is PSLE so important?
-
Nebbermind:
Results (inclusive of Social Studies) plus attitude.not sure if this is the right thread.
for edusave scholarship,
The EESIS is also awarded to P6 GEP pupils who are Singapore Citizens and who meet the P6 GEP promotion criteria, and ...
any idea what exactly is \"P6 GEP promotion criteria\". Is it something they will assess based on the compiled overall PSLE results? -
Hmmm, last friday my third son who having PSLE this year refused to go to school but he’s enjoying his school life last year. Actually his science teacher who is his form teacher too called me last two weeks that he didn’t did his homework, telling lies about his homework.
I had a good talk with him and every night I had checked his homework, but why he don’t want to hand up.
Last friday, his teacher called me and told me Ivan didn’t went to school, so I told him that I had tried my best but he still refused to go. So the teacher said that my son don’t love me because if he love me, he won’t make me sad, and said he had take advantages of my weak points. He asked me whether I’ll caned him, and said I had given in too much to him. He told me that my son likes to play with his friends during recess and after school. He told me that the school had pity him so let him so for standard class, and people will look down on us if he went to normal stream next year.
I replied, I didn’t give in to him, that morning, I had beaten him up badly and forced him to change his uniform and dragged him out of the house, but he was too sturbborn and refused to go. Does this mean I had given in to him? What can I do if he really not going?
Something strikes me when I went in to get something, and can’t see him outside the door. My heart really afraid that he’ll do something foolish like the others, and I found him sitting at the stairs on 7th storey. He ran away when I walked near to him.
I had asked him what’s happening to him but he kept saying nothing. So my sis - in - law talked to him and finally get something from him. He had stressed fromt the teacher whom keep asking the class to do review for every science problem and reflexation. The class has to double up the relexation if they had not done. 200…400…800…until the students pass up. Not only for science…but for other subjects too. He had kept my son during recess until the last ten mins to read the science.
What can I do? And tell the teacher? I had tried to go to the school and wanted to talk to him personally. So I had asked my son to make an appointment last friday, but his teacher called me and said he’s very busy, can’t meet me, it’s the same talking over the phone.

Hi, I can feel the sadness you have if I don’t remember wrongly you ever mentioned that you are a single mom with 3 kids??(*please pardon m if I’m wrong.) My ds also in P6, yes i think everyone is stress up just that we all have to learn to cope especially our children whom are still young and growing. I can imagine how upset you were when yr ds’s form teacher feedback to you. Yes, out of anger we will caned our child especially when being questioned do you cane your child. Everytimes, I remind myself not to speak or cane my ds when I’m anger or upset. But I shown signal to my ds to warn him. I will talk to him and also explain to him, of course sometimes still need to sooth him a bit (*like a carrot to praise or reward) As they are maturing, they have a mind of their own. Still at time I respect his thinking but on the other hand I tell him my feelin and thoughts. Maybe you can feedback to his teachers and workin out things the teachrs ad yr son. Time is what we are fighting with this year, therefore you need to work on yr ds’ emotion fast. Try to encourage and motivate, sometimes we also need to not just listen to the teachers and take their words too hard. I’m just sharing and we can all share and learn. Good luck to you

Please try to spend some dedicated time with your child. This is a difficult phase for him. If he has so much pressure at school, then you should try to support him emotionally at home. It won't help if you cane just because some teacher makes some foolish comments. If the stress hurts/damages your child, it is your loss not the teacher's. I believe, as parents we instictively know what is right and wrong for our child, sometime the lack of time and outside influences come in the way. Good Luck.Hmmm, last friday my third son who having PSLE this year refused to go to school but he's enjoying his school life last year.

u said he was enjoying school life last year – but how was the result ?
this year is PSLE year, so the stress will be there : both teachers & students and parents
if the problem is the relentless amount of work that causes a back fire from the boy, then you should make appointment to go down see the teacher. Teacher cannot always say not free. If the teacher is not free, you say you want to talk to the principal too to sort out issue on how to help the boy -

poor boy...it is definitely a good idea to get another party to talk to your son such as your sis-in-law. Sometime mummy alone just can't handle . Maybe get your sis in law to talk to your son more often and on your side, just cool down, and try to soft talk and motivate your son. Tell him that as long as he try his best ...mummy loves him.Hmmm, last friday my third son who having PSLE this year refused to go to school but he's enjoying his school life last year.

Then if the teachers are giving too much stress..talk or email to the teacher or principal if necessary. I am not an outspoken person but there was once i was so angry with an issue that I emailed the principal and the issue was solved soon after...
I also has a p6 boy this year, and the stress and tense just come out automatically.... I have to keep reminding myself to relax a bit and try to understand what is up in his mind and be prepared to listen to him if he is willing to voice out any complain to me ...
They need our help and support ... if the pressure on him is so great that he refused to go to school..talk to the teacher else the principal if u think the teacher cannot do anything. :x -

You should go to Just Education website. I think they have a few dates for the briefing at different centres. Check out the next date and just call them to register for the talk. Be prepared for some \"advertisement\" time :lol: -
