My Reflection in the Mirror

Friday, November 28, 2008

hello everyone,

today i would like to post my views on PSLE.

yes, i know,

you're probably groaning,

argh, my parents are talking about it everyday.

and now way has to tak abt it.

well,

anyway,

i want my views to be known.

first,

i would like to state that the PSLE gives unnecessary stress to people who don't need it.

in other words,

it is not good for the mental well being of a 12 year old student.

and if you ask me,

12 year olds are not supposed be cooped up in a study room,

studying their heads off.

well,

most of them are too young to understand what's going on,

here i would like to stress

that some people develop much later then other kids.

late-developers, i would say.

secondly,

i would like to say that the PSLE puts too much stress on teachers and parents too.

the teachers have to sacrifice their free time to conduct remedials or supplementary for their students, with high hopes that at least one of them would be able to be a top-scorer.

as for the parents,

they have to buy mock exam papers and assesment books for their children,

and families who are financially challenged would be at a disadvantage.

thirdly,

12 year olds are too young to be judged academically.

the PSLE score gives them an indicator, which may be false, on whether they are clever or not.

this, again, would not help in developing a confident child with a high self-esteem.

and whether they are placed in a good sec sch also gives them another indicator.

fourthly,

if the child goes through the DSA programme offered by sec schs, and gets rejected,

he or she is most probably going to think that,

"oh, i'm a lousy pig, which is why the sch rejected me."

this would not be helpful in bringing up a child.

that's all,

if you have your own views,

and DARE to share with other people,

shout it out on the CBOX,

and i wil post it.

This is how all things worked...
