Omg! Ds1 is running a high fever. Not sure if he can take the paper tomorrow. Anyone can advise me what happen if he misses the paper? Just call moe, as usual no proper advice just say call the sch. When I call sch, sch also cannot advise on how results going to be computed, say depend on moe. Any parent who experienced this before can advise?

Sorry to hear about your ds. Are there other symptoms? Fever is usu. a reaction, think u shld bring your boy to see a doctor today and do remind the doctor to prescribe non-drowsy medication.

I know there is no retake of paper, but if child really have high fever and have a valid mc, can the child be excused? I wonder if prelim results will be used to compute the t-score or will moe fail him for that paper? Help!!

Sorry to hear about your situation. My son's FT told the class that they have to sit in for PSLE even if they have to crawl to school in pyjamas.

A couple of DS's classmate are having chicken pox now. On Monday one his schoolmates dislocated his shoulder. They all still have to take the PSLE. Since Monday the school forbid P6 from running. They can only chit chat during recess.

Only since Monday? My son's teachers told the class they are not allowed to play during recess since last term. :roll:

Not sure if this helps. I know of a case where the student did not finish paper as he was unwell (puked mid way of paper), MOE took into consideration his SA and prelim scores against his peers as well as his PSLE scores against his peers (for that particular paper) and did some minor adjustments to the T score. Do ask the school to get back to you regarding the options. You still have time now to ask them to check with MOE. In any case, I pray that he'll recover by tonight. Take care!
