Came to find out more about the school but chanced upon this interesting thread.

@edwardtay79 Only recently then Minister Chan talked about the fluidity of allowing students who are strong in HMTL/MTL, to take HMTL in secondary school, and not tied to overall PSLE scores. So this is a system that has already been in place for the longest time.

Nothing wrong from analysing data and trends, that students who are getting bad total AL scores, be advised or forced to drop HMTL (at P6). The data probably supports the decision that those who dropped, probably did better after that in the 4 main subjects, since the score does not allow them to go SAP school anyway.

You can say you are forward thinking, but try not to be salty if your kid is not up to the mark, and the system (soon to be ‘previous’ system), does not support your kid in exploring HMTL at primary schools.

If your kid is really good at mother tongue, then even if he has lost a year in sec school, he still got offered at the end. So that is already testament of your kid’s ability. But the testament of your kid’s ability does not equate to the failure of the system.

The system changes, and evolves. Your child is just in the previous system, as are many of his counterparts in his age. The system (before the announcement made in Sep 2024) is, if his overall PSLE score is bad, doesn’t matter if Chinese is AL1, he will still not be eligible for HMTL. So this is not the fault of the school already. You can blame the system if you want to. This has nothing to do with streaming students and into subject banding also. The system, as of 2024, still remains that overall PSLE score is tied to HMTL eligibility, and that naturally translates into overall results in pri sch tied to HMTL eligibility. A logical person will be able to see that.

Anyway hope you can move on already since it sounds like your kid has already moved on from this school.

Cheers!
