You are right. This is a Math Olympiad question that pupils doing MO will be familiar with.

Like some parents, I clarified some qns. I discussed some possible answers with my girl and kept the rest of the answers to myself. My child is very mature at 12 year old and mentally, I would say she is learning to be resilient and learning to take disappointment in her stride. After discussing some ans, she roughly knows what went wrong and about how many marks she will lose. Somehow, kids will know how confident they are.

In mid afternoon, we stopped discussing about past papers. Although I felt anxious, I gave her the space she needed. I know that it will not improve the situation if we continue to brood over what had been done. Very soon, we decided that she shall bounce back stronger and very determined to do well for the papers next week. She picked up her study materials and started reading.

I told her that 1) I believe in her 2) she shan’t be judged as a person as grades don’t define a person 3) I will give her ample space and serenity which is much needed.

Being resilient is a very important quality that every child must learn. You have taught her well! She is courageous to sit for PSLE exam, resilent despite know that she made mistakes and determined to do much better for Mother Tongue and Science papers.

Thanks Sembgal and LeeTaiTai for sharing. I must admit that my gal is one of the kids seen crying for 2 consecutive days after the written papers. I tried encouraging her, it didn’t work, she said I am running away from reality. So I told her there is nothing much she can do since the paper is over and she said I was too blunt. That prob causes me not knowing what to say when she asked me on how to revise for Science. I hope with the advice shared with me would help reassure her. Really appreciate the advice given. Big thanks!

You are welcome. Crying is a way to destress and just let her cry and expresses out her emotions and confide in you. She probably wants a listening ear with someone who is empathetic to understand what she is going through. It will help if you let her do nothing but to destress doing her favourite activity today after Science revision.

Hi all,

Would like to ask for advice.

My son is aiming for RI. But we are concerned about the costs involved because we have 3 children but not eligible for subsidies .

Can I check how much the fees are for RI and whether there are extra enrichment programmes in RI and will these be subsidised?

I don't really want him to miss the opportunity of going RI but if it's too expensive, we may opt for other IP schools.

Would appreciate if someone who knows of people in RI can comment.

Thank you so much.
