I took my own PSLE more than thirty years ago, but today, I feel as happy as a lark.

I sense that the sense (no pun intended) of relief I feel must be immense because I just let the daughter play at the playground for a solid 15 minutes without feeling pressured at all. No tug of war. No turmoil about having to do something or contact someone. I was simply be.

This might also have been due to the fact that I let the Primary 1 son try 8 PSLE Foundation Grammar MCQs. Not only that, I keyed in the questions he got wrong in my app. I have done today’s worth of PSLE prep for him.

Embracing the carefree days ahead
