Snow Crystal:Janet, fifiyeo and parents who feel down about PSLE results:
PSLE is over and done with. Don't look back, choose a suitable school and focus on secondary school. You have been great parents and your DC will grow up to remember that you journeyed with them in PSLE. Your reaction will determine their level of self worth. So give them smiles and involve them in pros and cons of the 6choices to show that life goes on. 15 years later, this phase is but a memory. *Hugs to all*
I think you are quite right. After I got through the nightmare of my son's unexpected results, I realized that part of my anguish was becos it put a dent in my self worth. Here I was, top student in my primary school, distinctions in O and Level and post graduate degrees but could not ensure that my son got a high PSLE T Score? Was I so worthless as a tutor to my own DS?
Now that the dust has settled I have given myself a pep talk and told myself to look forward, my DS looks a bit happier. Don't let the poor 12 year old carry the burden of our shattered dreams ! All will be well!
