some parents even dare to say "just do your best, that's all im asking for" **results are back** "what?! This is not acceptable! from now on stop playing your phone"
the problem is the expectation set by parents, schools and peer pressure. Schools and government need to set expectations to the parents where such exams do not necessarily dictate how the future will be for their children, that should be done first. Teachers should also expose the students to all outcomes rather than focusing on negativity (as a motivation for the students to excel). This is the most basic social problem that is caused by both the government and the parents where it is a domino effect and the last chip to fall and suffer are the students/children.
eddy360146 Singapore's education system is based on meritocracy. In other words, u do well in exams it is almost guarenteed that you succed in life. So how parents who want to see their children succeed in life not set a high expectation for their children?
that's the conception that we all have right? study hard, get to a good school, study even harder, get better grades, get scholarship and then get a job with the gov or in a mnc make a lot of bucks, get married, buy a house and settle down. Nothing wrong with that. The only thing wrong is that when this meritocracy is so strictly defined that if one fails an exam, his/her life is almost certain to be over. That is wrong, performing well in exams do not necessarily guarantee a success nor not performing well will be a certain dead end in the future. My point is that instead of exerting so much pressure onto a child, why not guide the kid, encourage to do well, if the child didn't make the cut, encourage him/her it's not the end, just the route ahead will be tougher and try again as well.
Do You ever have those friends who got 250+ for their psle and is so damn sad and cry or something? And you just look at the 150 on your paper like, "Wow, i must be really dumb..."
charelle lee OF COURSE THAT HAPPENED TO ME 4 YEARS AGO! I got 200 on my result and then my friend was crying like his result was so bad(250) then I was like " BITCH YOU THINK U DUMB BRO?!?!?!?! I GOT 200 SO I DUMBER IS IT??!?!"
Now, this is why Finland has the best education system in the world. They don’t have homework, examinations, immense pressure on students or anything like that. The schools focus on cooperation and not competition among students. The school system lets kids be kids.
Anonymous well, to us asians, it’s ingrained in us to be competitive to come up on the TOP, so that when we fall, we won’t fall that much. So really, like what our minister of education for Singapore says, Every school is a good school. So really there is no need to compare which education is best in the world. I mean, you can’t really compare because asians and westerners think differently. Correct me if I’m wrong, because this is from my point of biew
Actually sometimes its not the parents that add on to the pressure, I feel that it is the system. While growing up, my parents always know what to expect from me and do not set impossible standards. I actually felt ashamed when my teacher expressed her disappointment in my O level results. More than 10 years down the road, sometimes I look back and wonder why did i let my grades determine my mood.
As an American, I feel so sorry for all you east Asian students having all this pressure to succeed in academics. Just hope you look on the bright side, study but don't beat yourself up if you didn't do as you would've wished. by the way anyone here class of 2019?
Mayra R completely agree with you. I have been living in India for about three years, and over here things aren’t as bad as there in Singapore (no offence Singaporeans)
@@heiloniris1747 Sure.. but the phenomenon is more or less the same. Your statement makes absolutely no difference to the toxicity of these unrealistic expectations
I'm Malaysian here. Still having my SPM test and one last subject to go! I strongly agree with the director of this short film. This short film is really meaningful and truly portrays most of the present Malaysian and Singaporean students' life and dilemma they faced.
WHY IS THIS NOT THE TOP COMMENT. I agree on this very much. I think that children in the 21st Century are facing difficulties in studies, especially. Parents really shouldn't put pressure on their children. Like in the video, the child will think they are bad children if they fail in anything their parents want them to acheive. Also, even if the parents tell them to share their problems, they most likely won't want to, thinking it will just make things worse. I'm not saying they are bad parents, but they must also be aware of their child's behaviour. My sister has a friend, they live in a hostel. Apparently, her friend is the eldest among her other siblings. Her father fell sick, and her mother is a nurse, so she won't be able to take care of the rest of her family. Her mother decided to move my sister's friend to another school near their hometown. However, she didn't want to. We live in Malaysia, so we have exams like UPSR, PT3, SPM and such. PT3 is usually held for 10th graders, so my sister and her friend here are 15. So she was pressured. Taking care of her 4 other younger siblings, studying, exams, etc. She became stressed. Her parents saw her acting very weirdly, day by day and turns out she became mental, due to depression. This happened earlier in the year, and she is still in the mentals' ward. I have no idea how her family's doing, but it's sad. longest comment i've ever written.
Actually, I took my PSLE last year and I have lost a very good friend/lover from it. She was the kindest and sweetest person I ever knew. She was there for me when my abusive dad was being trash. She had strict parents and could no longer take the pressure from them. She scored decently, but didn’t score as well as me and her parents kept comparing her marks with mine. I went to express and she went to NA. We ended at the same school but different courses. She studied very hard while i slacked so i felt horrible. A week before our school started, she jumped. Fly High my best friend, I will always miss you.
i think psle is a failed exam system because it sieves out those who have matured at a young age, just like gep. Many who are talented or smarter than these gep/high scorers but did not study hard for psle will not be able to enter better sec schs, and the environment they are put in wont let them reach their potential. National exams should come at 16, not 12
YT Stephistaecated totally argee with this. ugh the government should have something better like finding their talents then go to schools with the talent they are interested in but i still argee with the age of national examination
@@36_snaps Ye we should start from a very young age of course. But we shouldn't be taking exams that pretty much dictate the rest of our academic years and possibly our working future at the age of 11.
I had AL21 for my PSLE and couldn’t care that much in primary school now in secondary school, I’m trying my best and it’s my third year already 😊 and I like my results so far
Thank you to Splash Productions for producing this short film. It is a much needed one for everyone in Singapore. I am a tutor and I've heard about and witnessed the deaths of my students' friends. It is extremely devastating and heartbreaking. My plea to all parents and parents to be, is to Please genuinely love your child for who they are and not what you want them to be. Spend legit human hours with them, get to know them and let them get to know you too. Growing up in a competitive family myself (and contemplated suicide several times), I truly understand how Zihui feels. So please, those feelings are real and not some mental disorder. Just put the phone away and spend quality time with them. 🙏
I've seen this happen to quite a few of my classmates at every level of education, and it really tugged at my heartstrings. Thank you for portraying this so well.
I relate to this so much I used to be a very stressed out kid when I took psle.. aimed for 250++ During prelims I got predicted 253 but the pressure of not maintaining my grades got to me & I ended up with a T score of 232 or something.. I moved overseas a few years after for high school lost interest in studying and started failing my exams or just barely passing & getting lost in the whole education system. When I took the A level equivalent in Australia & flunked tho it was a big wake up call for me. I took a bridging course studied my ass off & ended up topping it. Now I'm in my first year of engineering. Moral of the story is dont be so hard on yourself life has its ups and downs. A student who gets straight A grades right now doesnt mean he will be an A grader forever. Likewise even if you're flunking everything right now it doesnt mean you'll flunk forever. if you're willing to put in the time and effort and be patient even if you're a slower learner than the rest you will get where you want to be someday.
Justin’s parents are a good example of how parents should treat their kids. They are right about how there are many other good schools in Singapore. Just because Raffles and Nanyang are the top schools in Singapore doesn’t mean the other schools are bad. His parents also let him try things which he wants to do. By doing that he can relieve stress and he is learning. Justin’s parents are also supportive of his dreams of being a water polo player. Doctors and Lawyers aren’t the only jobs where you can male large sums of money.
it is just psle and parents are giving so much stress for her? I wonder what happens when she take her o/n/a levels. Such useless stress for a 12 year old. They said that if they were to remove psle, it would help the child, but isn't that the same if they remove psle and the stress goes on to the next exam? maybe not change the national studies but more of the parents's mindset. wake up singapore. stress doesn't bring you success. not everyone's success is on academic.
Your wrong, some stress is good for you and stress for PSLE isn’t useless. Sure I hate it too, but I have to disagree with your point. This is the facts. PSLE is a national exam where you start to learn that you have to make your future, it makes you stress so you can focus on it and not be a lazy slug. That’s when you learn your future matters. Stress brings you to success,because when stressed. You try hard, and remember that said that trying hard can bring success. Yes yes, not everyone’s success is on academic but it doesn’t mean that they can’t do that right? Wait and see, score amazing for your PSLE and exams all the way then in your adulthood, no need to clean floors at all
I'm crying because my parents are the complete opposite of them... I just feel like..the worlds against me..I don't belong...worst of all..I just feel like dying. I'm already dying on the inside😭😭
Some parents do this before PSLE Parent : Just try your best After PSLE Parent : YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE MARKS UGH YOUR A DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY *me : this is the legit problem*
@@premakumari7862 PSLE is The Primary School Leaving Exams that are taken my Students in Primary 6 . Currently it is based on a T score which is a aggregate of your Exam scores of English Math Science Mother tongue . It is also an entrance exam to secondary school . The secondary school you go to depends on your score. Your score is spilt into 5 streams Integrated 250+/300 , Express 200-250/300 Normal Academic 150-200/300 Normal Technical 68-150/300 Vocation studies 0-68/300
I didn't remember being so stressed when I took my psle most probably because I was immature and didn't think much of my future ahead at 12 years old. I didn't think it'll matter much if I got a higher score then anyways. but this really represents some p6 students out there, I'm glad there's a documentary like this out there. Although not to such a extent, I'm stressed for my upcoming o levels
An Indian film called '3 Idiots' explain this better, even with humor but can be teary if it is really sad and India too, has this suicide 'culture'. But still, nice short film, guys! :)
Guys who ever reading this and you have to over come a exam don't stress to much. If your parents put high expectation on you. Talk to them I'm sure they will understand you. As long as you have faith in you there is nothing in getting wrong. Just calm yourself down and it will go smoothly for sure
Nah they won't understand. I used to rank first or second all the time but last time I did terrible in the exams and failed one subject. After that my parents have been treating me like shit and won't stop taunting me about my marks .
I'm a student taking PSLE this year, watching this made me tear up. I did not know that stress will rise so high, I am really grateful I am not that stressed
I think we all need to see the point of the film - it's about noticing those in pain. And while PSLE is indeed a major stressor of this issue, i do hope we can take steps to identify those who are suffering in silence, and sound out their pain. And even if you dont live in Singapore, this is a prime example of just how vulnerable kids are to serious psychological stressors. And while students are only 20% of the population, they are going to be 100% of our future. A simple "how are you" can go a long way. Spread this video, it deserves to be viral, it deserves to be known. This is something we cannot keep quiet about any longer
I can't control my tears, to anyone who is going through stress, hardships or depression alone I'm really sorry, just remember that you mean a lot to those around you!!! even if you don't feel it it's true, the people around you may not show it but your presence brings them joy trust me
I'd rather have an education system that is holistic and catering to their interests than pressuring kids for exams all the time. Books and a structured system whether it's just only English, Math and Science can only go so far. And damn it's too competitive. For example, some people wanna do art, some may wanna pursue sports, some music, I rather have a system that will cater to their interests and stuff.
Not Zeph Zeph nope my parent only allow me to play on my phone for 30 mins each week and i have loads of revision books and all that i feel damn stressed 😞😞😏
I swear everyone here is either complaining about how easy PSLE is or how badly they have done in the comments section. TBH this isn't exactly the platform and you're kind of missing the point here. Everyone have different pov and environment, it's not about how difficult the paper is or how they should be grateful for their excellent study conditions. She is missing out on life, still young and unexperienced, she is stuck with her own problems which she doesn't know how to deal with. Her life is so constructed that failure isn't a option for her. Well, not exactly the person to say it. I didn't do too well for my PSLE but who cares? I'm doing well in secondary school life awaiting for my Os result next year. It's really about the balance in your life. Don't get too stressed out!
Nah KH I totally agree with u!😊 I got 174 for PSLE but this year,I can go for PFP cuz my results r good enough.My family told me exam results r not everything,but the effort we put in,matters.😁
This reminds me of a childhood friend who also sucide because she could not get into the special (3 years course) in secondary school while she managed to get into express (4 years course). I regret not staying with her that day because she claim age is fine and I am too excited and wanted to share with my parents n family that I get into my choosen school n my psle result. Her story is very different. Her mum is already in her 50s when she is 12 and they are from very poor family so she is determined to finish school n start work to reduce her mum's stress n hardwork...
Colin Tan , my parents - below 100 - I'm dead 100-150 I am still dead 150-200 I am still dead 200-250 I am still dead 250-259 I am still dead 260-280 hated 280-290 ignored 290-295 no food for you 295-298 extra homework for doing so badly 298-299 scolding for not getting 300 300 I live normally -_-
I still can recall taking my psle when I got it back my parents shouted at me and even called me useless I stayed in my room for days not eating and even started cutting myself now every single time they fight they would bring me up...
Every single batch of Singaporean Student have experienced and went through PSLE. No doubt the syllabus have gotten more and more tough each year, I don't see how students who had a less condusive environment at home in the past can deal with it while students now generally have a better life at home and receive tuitions cannot deal with PSLE. And im very tired of people complaining about it. Personally I had my PSLE at 2012 and attained 250. By no means it is a very good result but enough to go by.
henry kenneth I agree. I took PSLE in 2012 too. Didn't do as well as you but enough to enter express stress in a Neighbourhood secondary school. I am also wondering why parents are stressing their children so much about excelling in PSLE, because it doesn't determine ones future. I know some friends who flunked PSLE but did well in O's. At the end of the day, all express students in the different schools will sit for O levels and have equal chance to do well. This is when PSLE results do not matter anymore. Parents are stressing their children so that they can boast about their score to other parents. They are fearful about losing face.
Ariel Jess Sometimes, perhaps parents are stressing their child for PSLE so that they will get into IP/IB and won't have to go for O Levels. The parents stress a lot too for their child's exams, and they don't want their child to go through too many exams, so if their child gets into IP/IB he/she won't need to go for O Levels.
to be honest guys why push ur kids to so many classes ended up , not you being stress but your kids. i believe children like them should play more while study. well either they pass or fail parents shud accept them the way they are. if i really have my own kid i wud tell them to work hard and play hard. i wouldnt wan them to miss out their fun as a kid. childrens shudnt be working so hard becuz of the parents. but parents shud be more understandable and listen what the child wants. study is important . listen to the kids interest are important to. its hates to say i pity the child as she doesnt have any life studying hard ended up stress. parents shud learn how learn how to love them more even they fail .
idk why ppl are so stressed taking psle esp the parents pushing their children. my prelim was 205 and my parents didnt give me any stress at all. they always say" 尽力就好" which means "try your best" in the end i got 230. ofc to some, 230 is not good but i dont see the point of getting into a top secondary school. i went to a neighbourhood sch near my house because really, sleep is very important. And its yourself who is taking the exam, not the school. Yall still learn the same thing at the end of the day so why must give yourself so much stress?
My mother is Singaporean and knows from herself how hard all this shit is it scored extremely low on my last math exam and she told me that no matter how i score or who i become she will love me and im so thankful for that i think this proves that people can’t just forget what they went through
*I have no hopes for school, school life makes me too pushed. So I find an intresting way to make it unstress, I rarely study and IT MAKES MY LIFE HAPPIER*
Great storyline! Excellent acting! KIids need to be taught that failure is part and parcel of life. They just need to pick themselves up and start going again. The problem is that well meaning parents place too much of their own expectations on their kids, and the kid think they just can't measure up. Tragedy can be avoided if parents don't behave like they themselves are the ones sitting for the exams in front of their kids - kids see this kind of behaviour and get even more stressed. The important thing is to pace out the learning over the year and just be chill when it comes to exams....Last minute cramming doesn't really help. It only overwhelms the poor kid. Let them sleep early every night - that's more important.
Actually, a main reason most PSLE candidates can't do their best is that their worries and anxiety pull their negativity up. So many do bad from careless mistakes. Anyways PSLE exams are the most crucial in my childhood and I'm currently still studying for it.
All i can say as a singaporean who just experienced PSLE not long ago, our system have its problems and its not to be ignored... PSLE is sometimes going way too far for just primary school kids... MOE said psle will be cancelled, but srsly it dosent change anything... The new system is even more harsh for the kids...
Exams are exams. Go with the flow. Let the mind choose what is important to it. Studying is a good thing. It let us help to develop our critical thinking abilities. Enjoy what you do. Reaching your potential is far more important than grades. Also choose profession that suits your interest.
The idea of a Magicarp is well placed in the movie. Magicarp one of the weakest pokemon, which is frowned upon by many trainers. This pokemon turns into one of the strongest pokemon, a Grayodos. Hence, a person cannot be judged by their exam results alone, because what matters is how you do in your life exams, if you pass you will turn from a magicarp into a Grayodos. This video is inspiring and I believe many trapped souls will be saved by your actions. God bless you all who work hard for Good of the innocent. Thank you.
aiyo zhuo muo jiang pressure. i didnt even study for psle i got shit marks 214 i go a average secondary school. my parents want 260 marks want me go good school. i was just like aiya just man man lai i still 12 only simi u expect from me sia. now i sec 3 in express still coping fine mah. just man man lai. no pressure. live in sg must learn to cope woh
I wasn’t really stressed for PSLE because I thought of it as another exam in my school just that the seating arrangement is different :D But I have to get used to having exams in Sec school now since I’m sec 1 and my CT is next week. Feeling a little stress because of having an exam in a different environment but I think it’s best to treat major exams like your normal SAs or CTs (ofc still have to study lah, just don’t stress so much) because it helped me quite a bit
There are very touching moments in the video. life is full of challenges and failures. the best thing we need to teach the kids is that they are not alone to face them and we will always be supportive as parents. resilience is more important than being smart...
I feel her, I've been through the same exam last year . Once its over....its over. Just stick into the positive side.Once you finish the exam, before you know it, your alr in Secondary School!
MoreCNCJ congrats!!! I took PSLE last year and I didn't do very well... I got 215.. my family put into ACS ( International ) cause they didn't want me to take O levels... they want me to take something called IGCSE than instead of A Levels is IB
As a former Singaporean who is now currently living in Canada, there are quite a lot of things I miss about Singapore, but I DO NOT miss studying there. I was 11 when I moved out of the country, so I was fortunate enough to escape from PSLE. And to y'all who are in Primary 6, I salute you and wish you the best.
I just took PSLE last year, and it was challenging. I remember my tuition schedule, and its bad to me, but for some of my other friends, its way worse. On Mondays to Wednesdays i have no tuitions, but many of my friends do, but we often return home quite late due to supplementary. On Thursday after school i have 2h science tuition and on Friday i have math tuition for 2h. On Saturday, i had english for 2h, then chinese for 3h. On Sundays it was Chinese again for 1.5h and then art for 1.5 hours. I didnt do as i expected for PSLE though. I wanted to get 260+/300 which was counted quite good, i guess, as it was the cut off for the second best school in the nation, Raffles Girls School, which was mentioned in the video, but i only got 257. So i cried for a day and was sulky the whole week but i didnt get scolded. After the exams, my friends and i would memorise the answers for hard questions and spend full recesses talking about it. For math, we even wrote every single answer on he calculator and compared with friends. I was so scared for the next CNY or to any meetings with my family or out of school friends as they would all ask me for my marks. My sister got into RGS so i was pressured to get in. I remembered during a dinner with distant relatives, someone straight up asked me, “did you get into RGS?” And i had to say no and i was so embarrassed. I remembered alot of times i cried because the pressure was too great. This video is so meaningful to me as i can relate so much, so good luck to P6s this year.
I used to go to that primary school, very nostalgic to get reminded of the uniform and the bridge. I didnt have the heart in studying but i still did decent and made into a mildly good school without dsa and an extremely good score.
Pri 6 kids who r watching dis just give everything u can don't stress if ur parents are mad and disappointed at ur results let them cool off cause they will still accept and love u in the end 🙏 don't be sad I've been through this phase in my life and I'm in sec 2 I'm doing fine my psle score wasn't the best but life goes on and just live every moment to the fullest ❤️ 😀
Problem is... My mum wont let me choose the sch i wanted So i cant go to my dream sch;-; I'm currently in the sch i don't want 😭 So... Im depressed and sad;-;
I dsa-ed into Dunman high through bilingualism but I did not plan ahead, neither did my parents force me to prepare a portfolio, I didn’t go to any competitions or win any medals in chinese or English but I got accepted, I think that some parents are pressuring their children too much and being kiasu. My chinese and English had never been very good but I was just above average so I surprised myself during psle, i think parents might have put too much pressure on children to do well in psle, however, my parents gave me time to relax and did not pressure me to revise and mug till late at night so I am really thankful for such supportive parents that did not pressure me but encouraged me to strive to do my best
I myself have a hard time, being a perfectionist. As a high schooler, I always aim for a perfect 4.0, and an A- already have my skin crawling. My family always compare me with my older cousin who is a natural prodigy. It made me work harder, but at the cost of anxiety, stress and intense rebellious hatred. Now I think I am better, but my anxiety makes me unable to procrastinate ( a good habit, some may think, but it is a result of my anxiety) and stressed out over the smallest thing.
some parents even dare to say "just do your best, that's all im asking for" **results are back** "what?! This is not acceptable! from now on stop playing your phone"

Ryandra Akbar That is so wrong, they study math and science too.

Not like that is helping much though, Japan has one of the highest suicide rates. No hate though.

I'm Malaysian here. Still having my SPM test and one last subject to go! I strongly agree with the director of this short film. This short film is really meaningful and truly portrays most of the present Malaysian and Singaporean students' life and dilemma they faced.
glad you enjoyed it ;) help us share it to your friends! All the best for your exam!

Asian parents," You have two choices, do well, or die"
Pretty much comes down to expectations and mentality
PSLE shouldn't be a thing,kids should enjoy their childhood and not worry about national exams
They ain't happening anytime soon :')
I Know right??
Just like in finland
WHY IS THIS NOT THE TOP COMMENT. I agree on this very much. I think that children in the 21st Century are facing difficulties in studies, especially. Parents really shouldn't put pressure on their children. Like in the video, the child will think they are bad children if they fail in anything their parents want them to acheive. Also, even if the parents tell them to share their problems, they most likely won't want to, thinking it will just make things worse. I'm not saying they are bad parents, but they must also be aware of their child's behaviour. My sister has a friend, they live in a hostel. Apparently, her friend is the eldest among her other siblings. Her father fell sick, and her mother is a nurse, so she won't be able to take care of the rest of her family. Her mother decided to move my sister's friend to another school near their hometown. However, she didn't want to. We live in Malaysia, so we have exams like UPSR, PT3, SPM and such. PT3 is usually held for 10th graders, so my sister and her friend here are 15.
So she was pressured. Taking care of her 4 other younger siblings, studying, exams, etc. She became stressed. Her parents saw her acting very weirdly, day by day and turns out she became mental, due to depression.
This happened earlier in the year, and she is still in the mentals' ward. I have no idea how her family's doing, but it's sad.

Too late.. Malaysia and Singapore already done that already..

Actually, I took my PSLE last year and I have lost a very good friend/lover from it. She was the kindest and sweetest person I ever knew. She was there for me when my abusive dad was being trash. She had strict parents and could no longer take the pressure from them. She scored decently, but didn’t score as well as me and her parents kept comparing her marks with mine. I went to express and she went to NA. We ended at the same school but different courses. She studied very hard while i slacked so i felt horrible. A week before our school started, she jumped. Fly High my best friend, I will always miss you.
i’m so sorry for your lost , at least she’s at a happy place now ❤️ all the best in your life too
im so so sorry for your loss and that such things happen in real life 🕊

i think psle is a failed exam system because it sieves out those who have matured at a young age, just like gep. Many who are talented or smarter than these gep/high scorers but did not study hard for psle will not be able to enter better sec schs, and the environment they are put in wont let them reach their potential. National exams should come at 16, not 12

Thank you to Splash Productions for producing this short film. It is a much needed one for everyone in Singapore. I am a tutor and I've heard about and witnessed the deaths of my students' friends. It is extremely devastating and heartbreaking. My plea to all parents and parents to be, is to Please genuinely love your child for who they are and not what you want them to be. Spend legit human hours with them, get to know them and let them get to know you too. Growing up in a competitive family myself (and contemplated suicide several times), I truly understand how Zihui feels. So please, those feelings are real and not some mental disorder. Just put the phone away and spend quality time with them. 🙏
grade doesnt show ur future
Robin lee ya it depends on how u do ur job in the future
Robin lee That is what parents believe
Pretty Little Kitty not really, take Steve Jobs. He was basically failing school but look what he accomplished.
Yeah it does. Or else you dont know enough to take the exams which can give you a full scholarship.
Robin lee OH MY GOD!!!! IT TRUE!
I've seen this happen to quite a few of my classmates at every level of education, and it really tugged at my heartstrings. Thank you for portraying this so well.
I relate to this so much I used to be a very stressed out kid when I took psle.. aimed for 250++ During prelims I got predicted 253 but the pressure of not maintaining my grades got to me & I ended up with a T score of 232 or something.. I moved overseas a few years after for high school lost interest in studying and started failing my exams or just barely passing & getting lost in the whole education system. When I took the A level equivalent in Australia & flunked tho it was a big wake up call for me. I took a bridging course studied my ass off & ended up topping it. Now I'm in my first year of engineering. Moral of the story is dont be so hard on yourself life has its ups and downs. A student who gets straight A grades right now doesnt mean he will be an A grader forever. Likewise even if you're flunking everything right now it doesnt mean you'll flunk forever. if you're willing to put in the time and effort and be patient even if you're a slower learner than the rest you will get where you want to be someday.
PSLE so useless the things we learn in primary sch doesnt even apply for secondary sch

EH u primary school teach u stuff u dont learn in sec1 right???!
Shouldnt have any exams in primary school actually
i thought more parents should know about this ... parents usually dont understand how much stress and work we srudents are going through...
Ya some parents thought their child are born smart can handle so much stress
errrrrrmm unless your parents didnt go to school or didnt study well, i am sure they know how stressful it is
As someone who took psle before...if i look back it seems silly that i stressed over it soo much
In the end its the same o levels ur taking
It also seems silly that I took psle this year but I didn't study

Justin’s parents are a good example of how parents should treat their kids. They are right about how there are many other good schools in Singapore. Just because Raffles and Nanyang are the top schools in Singapore doesn’t mean the other schools are bad.
His parents also let him try things which he wants to do. By doing that he can relieve stress and he is learning. Justin’s parents are also supportive of his dreams of being a water polo player. Doctors and Lawyers aren’t the only jobs where you can male large sums of money.
When teacher ask us "Why do we hate exams ?"
Me : *Tells my friend* we don't hate exams if it won't disappointed our parents and get scolded by them
As long as examination are graded on bell curve, the notion of there being no need to compete is a pipe dream.
it is just psle and parents are giving so much stress for her? I wonder what happens when she take her o/n/a levels. Such useless stress for a 12 year old. They said that if they were to remove psle, it would help the child, but isn't that the same if they remove psle and the stress goes on to the next exam? maybe not change the national studies but more of the parents's mindset. wake up singapore. stress doesn't bring you success. not everyone's success is on academic.
Your wrong, some stress is good for you and stress for PSLE isn’t useless. Sure I hate it too, but I have to disagree with your point. This is the facts. PSLE is a national exam where you start to learn that you have to make your future, it makes you stress so you can focus on it and not be a lazy slug. That’s when you learn your future matters. Stress brings you to success,because when stressed. You try hard, and remember that said that trying hard can bring success. Yes yes, not everyone’s success is on academic but it doesn’t mean that they can’t do that right? Wait and see, score amazing for your PSLE and exams all the way then in your adulthood, no need to clean floors at all
I'm crying because my parents are the complete opposite of them... I just feel like..the worlds against me..I don't belong...worst of all..I just feel like dying. I'm already dying on the inside😭😭

I didn't remember being so stressed when I took my psle most probably because I was immature and didn't think much of my future ahead at 12 years old. I didn't think it'll matter much if I got a higher score then anyways. but this really represents some p6 students out there, I'm glad there's a documentary like this out there. Although not to such a extent, I'm stressed for my upcoming o levels

I'm a student taking PSLE this year, watching this made me tear up. I did not know that stress will rise so high, I am really grateful I am not that stressed
I think we all need to see the point of the film - it's about noticing those in pain. And while PSLE is indeed a major stressor of this issue, i do hope we can take steps to identify those who are suffering in silence, and sound out their pain. And even if you dont live in Singapore, this is a prime example of just how vulnerable kids are to serious psychological stressors. And while students are only 20% of the population, they are going to be 100% of our future. A simple "how are you" can go a long way. Spread this video, it deserves to be viral, it deserves to be known. This is something we cannot keep quiet about any longer
I can't control my tears, to anyone who is going through stress, hardships or depression alone I'm really sorry, just remember that you mean a lot to those around you!!! even if you don't feel it it's true, the people around you may not show it but your presence brings them joy trust me
I'd rather have an education system that is holistic and catering to their interests than pressuring kids for exams all the time. Books and a structured system whether it's just only English, Math and Science can only go so far. And damn it's too competitive. For example, some people wanna do art, some may wanna pursue sports, some music, I rather have a system that will cater to their interests and stuff.

I swear everyone here is either complaining about how easy PSLE is or how badly they have done in the comments section. TBH this isn't exactly the platform and you're kind of missing the point here. Everyone have different pov and environment, it's not about how difficult the paper is or how they should be grateful for their excellent study conditions. She is missing out on life, still young and unexperienced, she is stuck with her own problems which she doesn't know how to deal with. Her life is so constructed that failure isn't a option for her. Well, not exactly the person to say it. I didn't do too well for my PSLE but who cares? I'm doing well in secondary school life awaiting for my Os result next year. It's really about the balance in your life. Don't get too stressed out!
Nah KH I totally agree with u!😊
I got 174 for PSLE but this year,I can go for PFP cuz my results r good enough.My family told me exam results r not everything,but the effort we put in,matters.😁
U have a point too but psle or any other exam doesnt depend your life. Life is about luck and everything so yup
Please to all people taking PSLE this year, do not be too stressed out. PSLE isn't the end and is just a small milestone in your life.😀
This reminds me of a childhood friend who also sucide because she could not get into the special (3 years course) in secondary school while she managed to get into express (4 years course).

Her story is very different. Her mum is already in her 50s when she is 12 and they are from very poor family so she is determined to finish school n start work to reduce her mum's stress n hardwork...

Every single batch of Singaporean Student have experienced and went through PSLE. No doubt the syllabus have gotten more and more tough each year, I don't see how students who had a less condusive environment at home in the past can deal with it while students now generally have a better life at home and receive tuitions cannot deal with PSLE. And im very tired of people complaining about it. Personally I had my PSLE at 2012 and attained 250. By no means it is a very good result but enough to go by.
henry kenneth I agree. I took PSLE in 2012 too. Didn't do as well as you but enough to enter express stress in a Neighbourhood secondary school. I am also wondering why parents are stressing their children so much about excelling in PSLE, because it doesn't determine ones future. I know some friends who flunked PSLE but did well in O's. At the end of the day, all express students in the different schools will sit for O levels and have equal chance to do well. This is when PSLE results do not matter anymore.
Parents are stressing their children so that they can boast about their score to other parents. They are fearful about losing face.
smlj 250 no good
Ariel Jess Sometimes, perhaps parents are stressing their child for PSLE so that they will get into IP/IB and won't have to go for O Levels. The parents stress a lot too for their child's exams, and they don't want their child to go through too many exams, so if their child gets into IP/IB he/she won't need to go for O Levels.

Great storyline! Excellent acting! KIids need to be taught that failure is part and parcel of life. They just need to pick themselves up and start going again. The problem is that well meaning parents place too much of their own expectations on their kids, and the kid think they just can't measure up. Tragedy can be avoided if parents don't behave like they themselves are the ones sitting for the exams in front of their kids - kids see this kind of behaviour and get even more stressed. The important thing is to pace out the learning over the year and just be chill when it comes to exams....Last minute cramming doesn't really help. It only overwhelms the poor kid. Let them sleep early every night - that's more important.
This was made when I did my PSLE sia. I think I just chilled at home while doing it. Don’t stress too much, this world is stressful enough
Actually, a main reason most PSLE candidates can't do their best is that their worries and anxiety pull their negativity up. So many do bad from careless mistakes. Anyways PSLE exams are the most crucial in my childhood and I'm currently still studying for it.
Based on a true story. One day,this girl zihui missed her bus. The end.
When you think that your PSLE year is damn stress and your parents damn xiong...
Then you watch this video.
All i can say as a singaporean who just experienced PSLE not long ago, our system have its problems and its not to be ignored... PSLE is sometimes going way too far for just primary school kids...

Exams are exams. Go with the flow. Let the mind choose what is important to it. Studying is a good thing. It let us help to develop our critical thinking abilities. Enjoy what you do.
Reaching your potential is far more important than grades. Also choose profession that suits your interest.
The idea of a Magicarp is well placed in the movie. Magicarp one of the weakest pokemon, which is frowned upon by many trainers. This pokemon turns into one of the strongest pokemon, a Grayodos. Hence, a person cannot be judged by their exam results alone, because what matters is how you do in your life exams, if you pass you will turn from a magicarp into a Grayodos.
This video is inspiring and I believe many trapped souls will be saved by your actions. God bless you all who work hard for Good of the innocent. Thank you.

I wasn’t really stressed for PSLE because I thought of it as another exam in my school just that the seating arrangement is different :D
But I have to get used to having exams in Sec school now since I’m sec 1 and my CT is next week. Feeling a little stress because of having an exam in a different environment but I think it’s best to treat major exams like your normal SAs or CTs (ofc still have to study lah, just don’t stress so much) because it helped me quite a bit
SO WHATS THE KIDS SCORE ?
Sarah Neo dunno, but i think it's 205? She definitely passed
She got 226
There are very touching moments in the video. life is full of challenges and failures. the best thing we need to teach the kids is that they are not alone to face them and we will always be supportive as parents. resilience is more important than being smart...
I feel her, I've been through the same exam last year . Once its over....its over. Just stick into the positive side.Once you finish the exam, before you know it, your alr in Secondary School!

On Mondays to Wednesdays i have no tuitions, but many of my friends do, but we often return home quite late due to supplementary. On Thursday after school i have 2h science tuition and on Friday i have math tuition for 2h. On Saturday, i had english for 2h, then chinese for 3h. On Sundays it was Chinese again for 1.5h and then art for 1.5 hours.
I didnt do as i expected for PSLE though. I wanted to get 260+/300 which was counted quite good, i guess, as it was the cut off for the second best school in the nation, Raffles Girls School, which was mentioned in the video, but i only got 257. So i cried for a day and was sulky the whole week but i didnt get scolded. After the exams, my friends and i would memorise the answers for hard questions and spend full recesses talking about it. For math, we even wrote every single answer on he calculator and compared with friends.
I was so scared for the next CNY or to any meetings with my family or out of school friends as they would all ask me for my marks. My sister got into RGS so i was pressured to get in. I remembered during a dinner with distant relatives, someone straight up asked me, “did you get into RGS?” And i had to say no and i was so embarrassed.
I remembered alot of times i cried because the pressure was too great.
This video is so meaningful to me as i can relate so much, so good luck to P6s this year.
I used to go to that primary school, very nostalgic to get reminded of the uniform and the bridge. I didnt have the heart in studying but i still did decent and made into a mildly good school without dsa and an extremely good score.

Who is watching this in 2024 ?
I dsa-ed into Dunman high through bilingualism but I did not plan ahead, neither did my parents force me to prepare a portfolio, I didn’t go to any competitions or win any medals in chinese or English but I got accepted, I think that some parents are pressuring their children too much and being kiasu. My chinese and English had never been very good but I was just above average so I surprised myself during psle, i think parents might have put too much pressure on children to do well in psle, however, my parents gave me time to relax and did not pressure me to revise and mug till late at night so I am really thankful for such supportive parents that did not pressure me but encouraged me to strive to do my best
This caught my eye immediately as I myself wanted to do this horrible act. Buy miraculously, I saved myself and I thank god for that
I myself have a hard time, being a perfectionist. As a high schooler, I always aim for a perfect 4.0, and an A- already have my skin crawling. My family always compare me with my older cousin who is a natural prodigy. It made me work harder, but at the cost of anxiety, stress and intense rebellious hatred. Now I think I am better, but my anxiety makes me unable to procrastinate ( a good habit, some may think, but it is a result of my anxiety) and stressed out over the smallest thing.
