Dreamed last night that DD scored a C for Chinese :yikes:


Anyways, can really empathize with all mummies who are not in the mood to do anything post-PSLE. DD2 starts SA2 tomorrow, but I've not been in the mood to do any coaching. Hopefully everything will turn out ok....

It's post PSLE traumatic disorder.
Daughter has her English exam tomorrow...sickening hubby said have to coach her. Told him to go ahead.

Neighbour told me preparation for PSLE was stressful, waiting for results equally bad...and it doesn't end when results are out...bcos there is secondary school posting. So it's 1 whole year from January till December.
Kids with DSA can breathe a little easier.

Dreamed last night that DD scored a C for Chinese :yikes: . Din manage to see the grades for the other subjects in my dream though. I guess if it's more of the same, better not see....

Haha...所谓：日有所思，夜有所梦。

MotherHen, 放轻松吧！

Hi, this evening marks the end of the day for PSLE marking days. Tmr is the starting of another school day for all primary pupils. I wonder any school teachers who had marked the papers these few days have any comments on the std this yr?

That was going on in my mind too.

I met a primary school teacher at a friend's DS's birthday party on Monday. Heard that she marked the PSLE Maths papers that day. I said 'Hi' to her but somehow just could not ask her what the standard of the performance so far......haiz. Now regret I didn't ask. :slapshead:

Your CO is not your top choice? If you felt that you had done well at PSLE, were you planning to give up the CO?
Think carefully and once decided, dun look back. Either way, it will be a bet.

My son also did not get CO from his top choice. We did contemplate on whether to accept or give up the CO. But since it is a good sec school as well, we have decided to accept. Life is full of choices, make the best of whatever you have.
PS : Ever since we have made up our mind, we have been quite at ease. Good luck to you.

Mommylow,

I wonder if the teachers have to sign some clause before PSLE marking, ie silence clause :scratchhead:
Also tried to ask a friend how it was, but she didn't reply me. I know chances of those teachers marking our kids' papers are slim, so ignorance is bliss, let's just hope and pray for the best.

True..true, even if I had asked the Maths teacher that day, I bet she wouldn't or rather couldn't tell me much as MOE probably had made the swear not to reveal anything. :skeptical:

So, yes....ignorance is bliss. 忍！

This friend usually does not ignore my SMS...so maybe teachers had to zip zip. So, we try to divert our energy and attention somewhere. Next year at this time, we can breathe and tell ourselves we have survived it.
