I think self confidence and can-do attitude is more important than high scores. Life is not smooth sailing and our young should learn in life at various stage how to cope in difficult situations so they grow to be resilient adults. If I can see my kids learn this, I feel I have done my job as a parent. Good results is not everything.

I have been using Electrolux dryer n washer for many years. Quite reliable. I think my dryer does not contribute as much to utilities bills compared to aircon So "pei fu" those who can cope without a maid…being maidless is something I can dream of as a working mum with 2 young kids, really not feasible for me. Now I hardly do any chores at home and thus, able to spend my time on my kids… I would not be able to do so without a maid.

Kwcllf, absolutely agree w your post. If one study the logic of the whole psle system and the result it aims to pull, it’s not impossible to see why it is all going. To sieve the creme de la creme (in turns of academic results) so the process they can identify potential scholars, leaders, top positions in this govt? It is simply an academic exercise and my guess is they will alternate the difficulty of the papers each year , to manage the parents at large. Just my 2 cents.

Any update for results from schools in tampines/Pasir Ris like gongshan, poi Ching, Pasir Ris pri etc? Thanks!
