I don’t know. I’m waiting for more gossip to come my way, especially tomorrow when I meet my Sec 1 Algebra headstart students, some of whom are very competitive as two of them are the usual top 3 in their primary school. Parents are also a good source of gossip.
I’ve found a good way to determine which sec school my daughter should go to though, by texting my ex-S4 students who just completed their O-levels or those going on to Year 5 of their IP. The secondary students who actually went through 4 years in a school know better about that school than anyone else, especially about the teachers in that school.
Anyway, if you suspect a PSLE score is the highest, you can put it up here and see if anyone else can beat that score. It’s like an auction you know. Please also state the school. It’s not good to state the name of the student as the MOE, the student, or the parents may not like it. But in the first place, I disagree with the view that by not publishing the top students’ names and scores, educational stress in Singapore would be reduced! There are far more effective ways to reduce academic stress and pressures in Singapore.
Btw, the highest score for 2014 I’ve heard so far, from a credible source, is 280.
