Wah...Muffins, so fast you can't wait for PSLE results. I want to enjoy myself first, and I am sure all the other parents too. It has been a stressful year. Don't want to think about PSLE now. Will start to worry by mid-Nov. Hehehe.......

I guess you are right, kuzco.
I should be glad that the paper is over and I should relax... BUT PSLE RESULTS!! WAITING FOR IT IS ALMOST AS STRESSFUL AS THE PSLE! WAAH! :!:

Before the result come out, it is time to practice math for secondary school.

Hi CrazyDad,

I think studying for secondary school may be a good option, actually.
However, don't you think that your child deserves a break from all the preparation and studying for the PSLE? Maybe it would be better to ask your child when he/she would like to start studying for sec. school? If he/she wants to start studying now, that is his/her choice. As it is his/her decision which sec. school he /she wants to go to, I think it should be his/her decision when he/she wants to start studying for it. One advantage of studying now is that he/she can get a headstart in his/her academics and can do better in school, but it really depends on when he/she wants to start. If he/she doesn't want to start now, but is forced into it, he/she might not be able to concentrate, so that becomes a waste of time, just talking about something he/she is not listening to. So I think you should ask him/her when he/she wants to start!

I joked with my son when he came home yesterday that since his PSLE is over, he can start preparing for his O levels. :lol: He said I was crazy, so I should change my name to CrazyMum Of course he's enjoying his break now but I've to prepare my students for their SA2.
BTW, it's a good idea to let them prepare for secondary school after a good break. In fact, I've students complaining that they were bored 1 month after their PSLE.

Hi tutormum (CrazyMum!),
Students are bored? AFTER PSLE? In my whole life, I would have never actually thought of hearing this sentence. Anyway, your son might have been a little freaked out when you started talking about O levels. Don't think so far yet, he might be able to get into IP and his O levels would not need to be taken, right?!

You are right about preparing students for secondary school but they should be relaxed and want to study for it, otherwise it will have no effect whatsoever on them. It would go in one ear and come out the other.

Just like a pedometer on backwards roll, the day of judgement draws closer and closer....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! :!:

No need lah. Sec 1 is chicken feat compared to PSLE. The children will be wondering why they were subjected to such torture then.

Since Maths paper is tough, maybe this year there is chance for top student to be a boy.

I totally agree, cuz it seems that usually boys are better at Maths & Science while girls are better at English and Chinese. It actually also affects the overall score for PSLE. English over 100, Maths over 50, Mother Tongue over 100,Science over 50.
