lionheart:There are two schools of thought when come to this implementation, and there have been much heated debates in separate threads within this forum and in ST as well, so let's not go further here.singabox:What's the top PSLE score in school this year? Anyone knows?
Imho, as far as holistic education matters, Parents are not suppose to know the top score... It is about how good a student performs against himself not others. Why are we as parents adding extra pressure and expectations to students.
Hope you know for years why many of us had been pushiing this to be implemented years ago ..Happy it is implemented in my d1 PSLE year
Importantly, it is student ndividual exams performance and achievement that matters. Ultimately, the goal of the Student is to pass the exam and get posted to the secondary school of his choice.
Since i had received queries about my son's performance ...To supporters of PSG .... my son met expectation; happy, healthy, matured and indpendent ; posted to ACS(I); got recognized for his good character , achieved his psle targets, achieved school team status for wushu, nationals status for international chess and an active student leader. I can't ask for more.
Will take a month break and prepare my d2 for PSLE 2014.
Just to clarify that the information seek is not always directly meant for the parents per say; sometimes can be from high achiever kids as well, so as to better gauge themselves where they will stand at the national level and not play the frog in the well syndrome.
Between, congrats to you and your boy!
