That's really amazing ...I'm so veri impressed. What an inspiration!From asiaone
\"The top primary six student this year is Qiu Biqing, a girl from Qifa Primary School in West Coast, with an aggregate score of 290.
Her father, Mr Qiu Guo Hua, 45, is a research fellow at the National University of Singapore, and her mother, Madam Xie Xiaojin, 42, is a research assistant there. They both work in a physiology lab.
According to the Straits Times, she could barely speak any English when she moved here from China in 2006 with her family.\"
if that's true, then we really should examine ourselves. Most of our kids grew up knowing English, but this young lass who barely spoke any English in 2006, can be top achiever in 2009. It must have been a great mountain to overcome and she did...congrats to her, and I'll take it as inspiration for myself to do better! -

Don't you think genetics played a part here? No doubt she is incredibly smart but she had good genes and is one year older than her cohort.From asiaone

Yeah, back in my time (1980s), I got a result which either go normal/express stream. My sister even spoke up for me that I did quite well as my result was 100 marks above the lowest score. I chose to go express stream in a lousy sec school (which has disappeared now for reason you should know). I buckled up and did reasonably well and went in good JC and local University. And here I am, doing reasonably well in my career too. I have a colleague who was PSC scholar but doing so so in the company.kathysg2009:
I feel for you but please do not even tell your child that you spent $$$ and yet he got low mark etc. For your son as it is he may be feeling down but on top of that if you tell him what you wrote below - his confidence will be shattered forever. Please understand - your son and his life is more precious than PSLE. I know it is a disappointing news but think about this - it is not end of the world and God willing, with his efforts and your support - he can do better for future. So, please do not dispair.
Went today to my son's school to collect his results - it was very heart breaking for me to see some children cry. They need our help and support and please let us not them feel miserable just because if they didn't do that well in PSLE.
Take care and God bless.
:goodpost: Timely reminder that while we are all kiasu parents in Singapore, what really matters are our kids. And their road in life is still so long... Many things can change years down the road, I have many students who did v well in pSLE but only doing so-so now and some who didn't do well in PSLE, actually at some turning points actually blossomed and doing well now... PSLE is not the \"be all and end all!\"
I heard those who scored well in PSLE but ended pregnant, etc...so, PSLE result is just a beginning of a marathon race in life. Don't harp on it too much. -
watmekiasu:
Nature yes for sure. But Nurture is equally important. At least that gives us working parents a hope...But I still firmly believe that it must not have been an easy path for her (to master english and figure out what the classes are all about, in a foreign language).
Don't you think genetics played a part here? No doubt she is incredibly smart but she had good genes and is one year older than her cohort. -
Interesting! Sorry, can’t help but notice that this looks like another case of high SES -> high academic achievement…
p.s. SES = socioeconomic status; usually includes measure of family income, education, and occupation -

That also let us think about those who find learning Chinese difficult. We should learn from her.From asiaone According to the Straits Times, she could barely speak any English when she moved here from China in 2006 with her family.\"
