Yes, that is what people are guessing now.Must be an offspring of a FT. And why stop naming the top PSLE scorers? With so many FT children doing better than locals, the government probably felt that giving publicity to the results will create unhappiness among locals. Another pro-FT move!
Then all sinkie kids delay two years and take psle at 14 years old lorYes, that is what people are guessing now.
It is an unfair advantage. At PSLE level, mental maturity and discipline play a big part. Imagine a sec 2-er competing with a P6-er.

Don't know why so many get so worked up over MOE latest move? As if PSLE score is that important to determine the future. It's A levels that counts for civil service. If a kid undergoes intensive tuition, can score very high PSLE score, but his innate academic ability will eventually show itself at A levels or university, and no amount of tuition will help.Must be an offspring of a FT.

So long as the kid does reasonably well, get into one of top twenty sec school, he will eventually do fine. No point artificially boosting his PSLE score, only to let him get disheartened when he realize that he does not actually have that ability to compete at the top academic level.

Another big problem is the GEP scheme at P4. The top 1% of entire cohort are creamed off nationally and relocated to the GEP schools like nanyang and Henry park. Of course these Schools with GEP classes will have plenty of top PSLE students. Yet these schools are dishonest and promote themselves as if they have done such a superb job in transforming students from P1. Then all the parents Kancheong, all want their kids to enter these top schools at P1. Wonder why MOE still not doing anything about this nonsense?Very true. If you take a longer term, broader view of things, PSLE is just a blip, hardly signifcant. However, for most of the parents and kids caught in the race, it is hard not to get sucked in.
I have spoken to some parents, and almost all agreed that force feeding can only help till PSLE. After that the kids will start to rebel, or they simply can't catch up. By A levels, there are plenty of complex concepts to grasp, can't fake it any longer.That's not true. Academic skills can be developed and reinforced. If I am a parent, I'll start them young from 7 so they can peak at 17 in time for their A levels. Every step counts.
