Hi


My niece is taking her PSLE this year, I’m at a total lost, my sister pass away from breast cancer about 1 and half months ago. My brother in law is in a very bad shape and so is my niece, my sis had always had high hopes on my niece, she picked up what school she wished she could go and what she had hoped she could be. Even though we know we are losing my sis but we realised no one can be prepared for this kind of departure, no matter how much time you were given.

I just wanted to know if its logical to ask my niece to stop schooling for this year? to take PSLE next year, as i’m not confident enough to help her through this year. I’ve been posting on this forum asking question about the 1 school my sis really hope my niece could get in but it wasn’t very good and i’m quite sure if my sis knew about this she wouldn’t want to either, the point is… is it possible? As i’m really clueless about the education system in SG now, I look at my niece’s yearbook, there are terms that i don’t even understand… like what is SH? i know what is HOD, VP, P.

The point is i wanted more point of view to see if stop schooling is a good choice for my niece, i know she is upset but she is trying to stay strong for her father and me. I heard her crying alone in her room almost every other night. And it pains me so much. And when i heard something regarding the school that my sis was planing to send her too… made me even more unsettling, I feel that its my responsibility to make sure my niece gets the best if not the closest to best education that she can with her PSLE results. Maybe i’m selfish, but i can’t cope i can’t deal, and i cannot imagine if i’m feeling that bad… how would my niece be feeling… I can feel that she is only forcing herself to study hard, to put a smile on her face, she is only 12 this year, not a kid but not an adult i think taking a break would be good for her, at least for now.

I hope someone can advise me on this. Regarding the school i tried to get info but no avail on this website the only reply i got was to remove the post i post about what i heard from my niece regarding that school that she heard from her cousin. I only posted to find out if it was true, as it was apparently from my niece’s cousin who heard from someone from school. i needed a confirmation, but instead i received a msg to remove the post. I think that even if the post was true i wouldn’t have not want to send my niece there as i think its unfair to blame the whole herd cause of 1 black sheep, i just wanted to know if its true or just gossips that were spin round and round but my views has since changed as the vibe i got from the school wasn’t very good.

sorry for digressing, main point is still whether letting my niece to stop schooling until next school year start is a good idea at all?

Thank you

hi i’m new here,


I’ve posted a post previously regarding something my niece told me which she claims her cousin told her regarding A School, i shall not mention the school as i receive private message from another user asking me if i can remove that post.

Normally i wouldn’t do that as i think i have the right to post and enquire if what i heard is true? But it seems like it might get them into some trouble which only means the rumor i heard from my niece should be true.

I just wanted to share as a newbie i thought this is the place for discussion and questions. I don’t know if i should be angry with both the user or just the school. but i am definitely changing my point of view on that supposedly good school.

Then i went to bed and but i couldn’t sleep well, i kept thinking of the possibilities of why they needed me to remove the post so badly. Yes i’m obsessive, and all conclusion come down the school is hiding something, even when i question about how my niece’s cousin overhear about the info… the user came and ask me to remove as it reflects badly on the school.

Maybe i was too naive, to think that i can come to a public forum and ask question that might reflect bad on the school. But i thought that was why there is a forum to discuss this kind of topic. I’m confused and angry. The more i think the more i feel its not right to ask me to remove my post.

Sorry just wanted to vent about this, its causing me alot of distress too as i’m the obsessive type and i cannot stop thinking about it.

Sorry if you think this post is redundant or whatever. Just needed a space to vent.

Would be gd if anyone can tell me how are the teachers like in this school? As my niece is intending to study there. And teachers quality is very important.


Thanks
