National Education Disaster - New MOE PSLE Grading condemns students below 65% grade

[JurongEast]

The Sinkieland education system is a bloody joke. I didn't know what was taught in class throughout my 4 years in secondary school. I only spent 6 weeks mugging for the O Levels and my grades (minus Maths which I had long given up) topped the whole class.

What was your school ? Yishun sec or Hwa Chong ?

And they think by doing this they'd be producing more Nobel prize winners.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAH

many people have 3A 1B, same mark as me. LOL

If I was from a "good" school, and with my kind of behaviour and attitude back then, I would have been expelled in lower secondary and wouldn't even make to to O Levels.

Wow, they are using 'achievement levels' instead of grades now? Probably thought up by the same geniuses who invented the 'military expert' SAF rank.

Thank goodness I'm not a parent, otherwise I would inevitably get sucked into this bullshit.

Just don't be poor. Send them to jb inter national schools if they can not make it.

Pls sent your child to international school ij Johor Bahru. Pls be kind to your child to do that. Your child will thank you for that when they are an adult.

Poor English-Speaking CECAs don't need these grades they are here.

Hope our new MOE Minister Chan can end the new PSLE scoring system. No doubt, students will not be pushed to get full marks (as getting 92% is the same as getting 99%), it punishes weaker students exponentially.

In O Levels grading, 60% is B4 which is a respectable score and 4x more than A1.
However in PSLE, 60% is as good as getting C6 (AL6) which is 6x more than A1.
The MOE planner plotted to raise the bar for weaker students and make 65% is the implied passing score.

There's always need for security guards, toilet and Grab food delivery serfs.
