No,because the work that is given by the teachers is equavilant to the work of the sdudents during the 1900s is the same-corresponding to the standard of the exam papers. The problem now is because the parents of the pupils have to provide for the family and does not have enough time to spend with the children so hence leading to the pyscological difficulties.So, solution is the parents trying to spend more time with the kids. But the cost of living as we know it is to high.So unless the goverment can somehow lower the cost of livimg then there is nothing we can do about it.

I feel that diffrerent levels have different amount of stress. Like the P1's, they have completely almost no stress at all, as they do not have exams. In P6, you get a whole lot of stress, parents start screaming at you to do your homework while you are playing games, and more homework piles in. If this happens, some children will not be able to handle the stress, and give up altogether. Children should be a given a moderate amount of work,so that they can finish in time. Tuition teachers should not go to fast. Like in my real life, our class only learnt until the Maths topic percentages,but my tuition teacher, is already teaching me circles. (she skipped some in between) I think my tuition teacher is pushing me to my limit already :l

If you have stress, just spend some time with yourself,and try to calm down, think about stuff that makes you happy...

Yes. I think primary school students are stressed out because their parents expect the best every time their child does homework or something. I think primary 6 students are the most stressed out. Their parents want them to excel in their P.S.L.E. so much that they practically ask you to quit your C.C.A or worse. Parents actually treat you worse if you have older siblings. They want you to be higher than your siblings. Just imagine,your sister gets 298 for P.S.L.E.. How can you top that? So I think that primary school students are very stressed out.

Gerald Ong 6g said...

I feel that students are feeling very stressed with the approaching exams and the heaps of homework. Students deserve some break for the hard work they have put in.

Wildon 6Graciousness said...

I do not think that primary school children are facing too much stress these days as anxiety is not stress. Anxiety is a sign that means you care for your exams or test. If a child prepares early for the test and already know the answers in his or her fingertips, why would he or her be stress? They should be happy as they know they are going to do well in their exams.

I belive that nowadays kid are faceing too much strees maybe due to homework or parents even sibings.
But we should find wayus to reduce stress by haveing breaks or fun.Too much stress is not good. But it helps us by pushing us to do better.

Yes. Especially the Pri 6 pupils. Since P6 pupils like me have to take PSLE thuis year in just like 5 months time. Plus we would have to do our moms test papers and school homework. So time management is also very important.

Naomi Kong-Vega(6G) said...

Yes. Because of the many exams and the whole lot of homework and studies to do, I think this is why primary school children face too much stress these days.

I think that kids feel stressed because there is too much homework for them. I too, feel stressed when there is too much homework, together with tuition classes and tuition homework.

Timothy Lee(6 Graciosness) said...

I think kids now have more stress from their tutions,school homework and work given by their parents.I think parents now expect their children to get into the top schools and be the top student.

Vanessa Tan 6 Graciousness said...

Out of all the primary school pupils, I fell that the primary six pupils have the most amount of stress. They receive not only peer's stress , teacher's stress and also stress from their parents and also their relatives due to the upcoming PSLE in 5 months time.
Thus, Time Management is very important for some pupils.

soo min (6 graciousness) said...

I am also suffering from stress. I get stress from teachers(names will not be mentioned) telling me to get high expectation. From parents who send me to too many tuition. From getting too much homework from tachers. Too much stress is not good for our health, but too little stress is also bad. But i have found ways to overcome them. You can listen to music, do some sports, maby get a punching bag to 'punch' your stress out. Try these out. Its effective.

Yes, I thinl they are. School children are asked to do work every day and still have to do assesment books and tuition homework to improve our grades. Children now need to go for at least one tuition and still need to balance school work and tuition homework.

I think primary school students are facing too much stress. Why? Everyday, students have so much homework to do and have to go to so many tuition. They also have to stay back in school for remedial. When they come home, they are tired and have no time to rest as they have to start doing their homework or else they will have to stay up late at night to do their homwork. I hope teachers and parents can understand how much stress students have.

Ong Jun Xun 6 Graciousness said...

I agree that children in Singapore is having a lot of stress. Parents are letting us go for lots of outdoor activities and we would have very little time to do finish our homework. Likewise, teachers are giving us a lot of homework in one go and expect us to finish it the next day. Espacially when it is near exam time, teachers will give us too much information and parents will us guve us lots of practise papers to do when we reach home. Even our time to relax for a while has been eaten up by studies. Plus, they expect all of us to do well during our exams but never thought of us being overstressed. Everything we do is always expected for us to do the very best but however there is always a time limit.

Izdihar 6 Graciousness said...

Yes, especially the primary sixes as they will be taking their PSLE this year. As a P6, I have to contribute my time to my tuition classes, band practices and piano classes. Everyday, pupils are given homework and they have to attend their tuition classes and CCAs. They will not have time to complete their homework. Therefore, the teachers will scold them. Sometimes, we are too stressed, we might give up and burst into tears. For me, if you are stressed, you should eat desserts because stressed spelled backwards is DESSERTS!

Niu Run Zi 6 Graciousness said...

Most signs of stress come from revising for exams or PSLE. Parents should not stress their child and provide resting time for them whenever they are tired.Stress may affect the marks for their exam.

Bryan Thiong 6G said...

Stress is a very wide topic. Stress can be from any source- teachers, parents and even from your best friends.

Academical stress can come from your parents and teachers. High expectations are one of the few causing the child to overly troubled. Too many tuitions are also stress that a young child can take.

Parent stressing to study again and again is never a easy job. We can feel that under stress is never a easy task. Like being pressed down by a block of stress, we can also overcome them by rewinding, doing things that we enjoy.

Stress is not scary, it is how your point of view towards it.

It depends on which scool they go to, what are their parents expectation and so on... I do go through stress but I overcome it by having fun! of course there are other ways to overcome stress...

Chloe said...

Definitely, especially the primary 6 pupils. The teachers give more homework than in primary 5 and parents are so worried about our studies that they send us for so much tuition. The tuition teachers are stressing students for the PSLE and so much homework. Help, save us from this torture!

Vasrha 6 Graciousness said...

I think that primary school student do not face too much stress. They just have to manage their time well. Many students feel stressed because of too much tuition, enrichment classes, school work and homework. Also because they have too many things to do and most of the times cannot finish them. It might be that their parents are putting pressure on them to get high marks for exams and tests, but personally, I don't think so.

Tuition and enrichment are useful as they improve your results. Everyday students should set aside time for relaxing so they will not get stressed. Do not plan to do many things in one day itself. Divide the work eaqually among the seven days of the week so you can finish all of them with spare time for your hobbies. For tests and exams, set goals that you think you can acheive, not unrealistic ones that are too high for you.

Jerald 6Graciousness said...

Parents give us stress by hiring tuition teachers to coach us, buying assessment books and expect us to finish pages in a day with loads of school work too. In one day, we may have more than 6 homeworks(School)and tens of pages to do(Parents) not excluding tuition work.

Shirlyn 6Graciousness said...

As years pass,many parents find academy very important.So parents start giving their children more and more tuition.
I felt that many children faced stress.Some kids have tuitions after tuition.Their tuitors and parents are also making them doing testpapers.This will leave them with even lesser time to play or even exercise.
I think they should at least give them some time to rest and play. Children should manage their time well.

weixuan said...

Kids now has stress due to high expectation from teachers and parents. Now kids have piles and piles of work waiting for them at home,how can they not be stress?

A said...

Stress never feels good. I had a friend who had too much stress and she ended up talking to herself. So stress can be very scary and dangerous. My parents always tell me that if i ever get stress, i should inform them straight away. But if i do get stress, i don't think i would be able to tell or i wouln't want to tell anone but my best friends because i would be too scared or too shy to tell them because it would most likely be my parents fault because they push me too hard with my work. So if you do get stress don't be shy to tell your parents.

I think some school children might be facing too much stress these days as exams are getting more difficult this days. Parents may also be worried about the child's PSLE results and they may send the child for extra courses to boost his or hers results. But if there are too many courses the child might have difficulty coping with the extra homework, assuming that the tuition centre gives homework. And if the child gets stressed out, they would not be able to concentrate on their revision.So all the tuition would be useless and also if the tuition exercises are to hard and the child gets poor results, the child might get demoralised. In my opinion, the best way to do well in your exams is to be motivated.

Natassya said...

I think kids are facing a lot of stress these days.Schools are giving a lot of homeworks and parents are giving so much tutions for kids.Schools and parents should not give us too much homeworks and tutions for it will give us a lot of stress and we will be very pressured.Instead parents should consider not giving so much tutions and schools should not give us too much homework but still give us homework.This way the kids will not be too stressed and still study at the same time.And kids will have some time off for themselves to destress themselves. 6 Resilience

Even though we don not give them alot of homework they may not inprove if they do not want to work hard. To help them we must give them homework but some play time too. We do not want childrens to go to Psychologist to tell about their but we want them to talk about how are they going to manage their time.

I think that more kids see pychologists because they are stressed by maybe family problems.Their parents would quarrell and the chidren's emotions would be affected by what is happening at home.
Or maybe in schools,the children have too much homework especialy the Primary 6.Because we are taking PSLE this year.Every one of us wants to get a high aggregate score.Parents also give 'comments'.Like example.."Flora you must get 255 for your aggregate score."but the aggregate score that I wish to achieve is to get 272-295 for PSLE... all of us must work hard to acheive our dreams and bring glory to BTPS and the my form teacher.

I agree that nowadays school chioldren are facing too much stress from parents, homework, tuition and exams.parents and teachers are worried about the PSLE that is coming up.=0
In my opinion,if you are stressed, you can do something that you enjoy like playing piano or listening to music.Stress can make you get annoyed extra easily.

Hafiz said...

Many people are stressed about work and study.Mostly P6 are stressed this year because of PSLE.PSLE is is the most examination of the primary school.Some tip of conquering stress is to do what you like best other than plying video game.If you play too much video game,you will become like me.My mind is always filled with game.

tanfuyu6adapt said...

yes.I admit that p6 was really stressful.but u just have to cope with it.u will need to push urself as it will be only 10 months.but people who face stress is usually lazy or have many problems.ppl who are lazy will think that p6 is very hard and alot of hw.but thinking about it u will have 2 months holiday.so just work hard and wont regret it.

I think primary 6 students are facing a lot of stress as the PSLE is drawing nearer as the day goes by.On top of that,school teachers still give us lots of homework everyday.The students will not be able to submit all the homework the teachers give them.The students will also not be able to cope with the stress place on them.they still have to go for piano,tuition,CCA's and
ballet classes.i really do not know how students can possibly cope with all the distractions they have at home like (eg:Ipad,Iphone,PS3,XBOX and their computer)However,my teacher Ms Wu,will not give us too much homework,she give's us just enough homework.:D

I think that all the children face stress before.It is a type of emotion, something that is hard to get rid off.There are people who go too stress till they became to have emotional problems like doing actions that only insane people will do.It is because of too much homework or private tuition.Especially,during PSLE or other important exams.Some of the children do not even have time for break as their parents have high expectation so they want their children to do lots of work or else the children will get scolding or beating

Yes,I am accepting the question . Primary school pupils are facing too much of stress. P1's,P2's and P3's are having too little homework so too little stress.But P6 pupils,I really pity on them.They have a lot of homework and assignment books to be done.Their parents are pushing them to get above 260 for p.s.l.e.There is only 10 percent of the parents in Singapore, don't force their child to do all the work in one day.P6 pupils are also children but not blender to spin so much times P6 pupils are not even getting time to laugh at something .Even though they try to buck them up to get good marks,the students would only get 50-90 marks.Some parents even like to compare their child to another child.I wish this parents should have 16 p.s.l.e per year.Then, they would know about the pain P6 students are undergoing.They should give us a standing ovation.This message is for all parents of the nation,Pity on us,p6's but not push on us.

I think they are not facing too much stress and it is not necessary for children.Sometimes,they just claim that they are facing too much stress because they have too much assignments to complete.If I were in their shoes,I will try my best to concentrate and avoid distractions around me.I will also bring my assignments to school on time so that I can learn new things in class and ace for my PSLE.After I finish my assignments everyday,I will revise what I have learnt.This will help me clear my doubts without asking my teachers as they are always busy marking assignments especially irresponsible people's assignments because most of the time they will forget to complete their assignments and one day,I hope that they will spare a thought for the busy teachers.I bet all the teachers will be very happy if all of that happens as they can mark and return all the assignments back to the pupils quickly and not spending their whole life marking.

Yes,primary school pupils are facing too much stress.Parents are always arranging tuitions and enrichment classes for their children.Sometimes,teachers also gives alot of homework.But parents arrange tuition and enrichment classes for their children because they want their children to do well during the exams.
Stress is sometimes nesscessary for school pupils,but it is sometimes not necessary for school pupils.Stress is sometimes necessary as it will help the pupil do well but sometimes it is not good as it may cause the pupil to lose interest in that subject.

yes i think primary school pupils are having stress.if the student's exams or work is bad,they send them for tuition and all kinds of stuff you can thing of.Primary 6 is the worst of all.PSLE.your parents will sent you for tuition 3 to 4 times a week.i think parents do not understand his/her children's live.you might have stress in school if pupils in school bully you.
you can handle stress by
1)squeezing a stress ball
2)doing your favourite activity

zhi zhong said...

Well, it depends what level are you in. If it is primary one, it is very likely that they would not have stress as it is their first year in school but if it was primary six, very ‘jia lart’ as it will become more and more stressful each day. More stress actually comes when PSLE comes and that’s when it gets messy.
An interesting question about whether a child needs stress. Well, same again, it depends on which personality is the child has. If the child has very good habit of managing time is not really needed for stress unless if it is needed.
Sometime I feel that stress is needed to push other to do their best. People that cannot manage their time properly will have more stress than others.
Then I find that stress can be good thing in other way but most likely it is a bad thing.

Lim Guan Heng said...

I think that yes they are facing too much stress as i had a friend who fainted out of stress because his mother gave him too much home work but, parents always say,its for your own good.

Anonymous said...

For primary 6 pupils, they must do all lot of work and have no time to do it. They will face a lot of stress if they got a lot of tuition homework and school homework. It is necssary for children for having stress since its part of growing up. If children face stress now they will learn how to control it but if they do not face it now, in future they would not know how to control it since there is no adult for you to consult to.

Valencia Tan 6Resilience said...

Yes,they are facing too much stress these days as their parents have high expectations on them.I am sure that most of them have tuitions for all subjects or even double for each.And if they have alot of homeworks to do that they could not finish their school homework and will get scolded by teachers.If they want to do finish their homeworks in time,they will have to sleep late and if this goes on,they will not have enough sleep and will not pay attention during class lessons.Hence,they will have alot of pressure and stress.

yes.primary school children are faceing to much stress.as the childa work or exam is poor,his/her parents will sent
him for all kinds of tuition,like me.English,math,science and chinese.They say they are prepareing us for PSLE.I think stress is not nessary for children,children are to small to handle stress.They might harm themself to.

tammy tan 6RL said...

Yes,primary school pupils are facing too much stress these days as parents have high expectations on them.Parents are giving their children so many tutions in a day that they could not cope with their school homework.the only way to finish your homework is to sleep late at night in order to finish your school homework.They will soon have a lot of pressure .By doing this,the children may not take in all the things that they have learnt.Some parents also give their children piano or violin lessons.Being children,we should enjoy our childhood days and not regret it next time.stress is not necessary for children.Children might even perform better than you expect when you do not pressurize them.

the number of kids going to pychologists are repidly incresing these days.WHY? obviously,students are facing too much stress. Way too much stress.students are learning new things everyday before they can even understand what is going on.There is just not enough time.Homework from teachers in school,tuition centers and parents are driving students crazy.That is basiclliy whare all the stress that students are facing nowadays get from.To reduce your stress level,you can take a break,or try revise things that you learnt today before you forget them and have to learn them all over again.Do not keep doing homework like some crazed robot.Take a break between times and listen to music or something.=)=)

yes,there are so stress because of homework and tuition.mostly the primary 6 level have the most stress because of PSLE and more tuition and more homework.All parents wants us to get high marks go to good school no breaks no fun during this year.Too much stress can cause cancer and even suicides,so i think that we need breaks and less tuition even though we need to work hard.

clarissa khor 6RL said...

I think that children are having stress these days due to having too many tuitons and assessments given by their parents.Parents are very scared of losing these day and they will not allow their children to get 240 and below for their PSLE examination marks as they think that that kind of results is not too good.They will start too compare their child results with family members and the whole class results.i think that teachers should give their pupils the highest,the lowest and the average score of the whole p6 level.That way pupils will know their standard and where they stand within the p6 level.

Stress is a problem that everyone has as it makes people feel bad.Especially students who works non stop everyday. Stress is not good as it makes us feel that we cannot acheive our goals .We can overcome stress by going out doors to play or rest your eyes.When we are studying,we should have a break so that we can think on what we are doing next.Stress causes many problems to us as it makes us feel that we are not up to standard.I hope that we can do something about it and let everyone a happy and enjoyable life.

Melissa 6Resilience said...

I think students these days are facing too much stress.
They have to complete theiir school homework, finish their tuition homework, go to their enrichment classes. amd most of the thimes, CCA and sometimes, music classes. Especially for the P6, Who are taking thir PSLE ( Primary School Leaving Exam ) this year and their exams marks will determine which Secondary School they will end up in. Obviously, Parnts would want their child to go to an good school, ans thus, send them to many tuition classes to help them and their studies, Which will take away much of their time. The child would them be very stresses and may not be able to perform well for theirPSLE. As a P6, I think parents giving the child too much stress because they want the child to do well is not acceptable as. The parents are making the child stressed because they want the child to do well is kind of selfish because they are doing it for their child to do well, the child has to listen.Sometimes they even send them to tuition classes whithout even asking the child if they even want more tuition classes. I think too much stress for children is not needed. Parents hould give the child some free-time maybe once every two hours. Then, the child will no be so stress anymore. :)

Yes.Children had been facing stress these days in school.They faced stress for many reasons.Most of them had stress because of schoolwork.Some others complained that they had too much tuition on school days.This shows that they do not know how to cope with it.The best way to cope with it is to get organized in a neat,organized way.You could make your own timetable for the day.You can plan your day by joting down the things that you want to do in a day.You may want to use thirty minutes as one period,just like our school.Then,you plan what are the types of homework at certain times of the day.Sometimes,you may not always do your homework non-stop.You may take some minutes for a break in between to rest you eyes ,the list goes on.If you can follow this way to do your work,it will be great for you.Chung Teik Lim,6 resilience

with lots of homework given to pupils, too little time and exams round the corner,students will definitely feel stressed. To me, stress is necessary. when i feel stressed, i feel a kind of adrenaline which runs through me and makes me work harder and better to complete my work by the deadline, or reach my goals. But sometimes, too much stress makes me want to give up. so, to relax myself, i wil take a shower, read a book or newspapers for a while or go take a short stroll. so, i think stress is necessary. after all, 'stressed' is 'desserts, backwards.

Stress is a major problem for people all over the world.Stress can cause death to people who have many work to do.Primary school children who have stress are most likely to faint or go crazy.I think the main reason why is too much homework.
Other reasons why are pupils going to remedial classes,CO-Curriculum, supplementary classes,tuition classes every week so the pupils would not have time to do their homework.
I think stress is necessary for pupils because the pupils would not do their homework and take advantage of not having stress.As a result, not doing well in their studies,exam and their PSLE.

Alicia said...

Yes because of EXAM!!!!!These day primary school students have been facing alot of problems with school work.Also supplementry plus CCA,see u have to cope with CCA if your SYF is soming you also have to cope with school work and also supplementry its such a stressfull day i wish at least one day we can be stress-free.Some people when they get stress they improved when some people they cannot cope it.Different people have different character for me when i get stress is like my brain wanna burst already but the thing that make me relax is listening to my favourite music or play computer games like maplestory or auditionseas but of course i play it for one hour then i get back to work.The most subject that stress me out is MATH but when i do my maths homework i listen to music so when i get the beat of the music i can do my maths better.

Yes,stress is common these days and especially for the primary 6 pupils.Their parents have very high expectations from them but onthe other hand,stress is sometimes reasonable...can you just imagine 3 days right before PSLE and you did not even study.To relieve your stress try playing or sports just for about 20 minutes.

Ryo 6 Respect said...

Everybody will face stress in life as it is necessary.I think different levels have different amount of stress.FOr example, the primary ones wont have so much stress as the school will take it easy and allow them to get used to the school first.Starting from primary three, the work will get harder and harder until primary six.I think primary six are facing a lot of stress as teachers impose a lot of stress on students, giving them plenty of work.But stress is necessary for students to work hard to perform well during PSLE.

Niu Run Zi 6 Graciousness said...

I think stress is sometimes necessary for pupils and sometimes not. When pupils face stress, they can get tired and do not pay attention in class. So, they must find a way to cope with stress. Stress can be necessary because pupils will take advantage of not having stress to not pay attention in class, not hand in homework, and do badly in their exams and PSLE.
