just to check, if ur kid get 197 for psle, will u advise ur kid to go neighbourhood Express stream or a better school but normal stream?

If that score of 197 enables your child to go to a normal stream in a good school, why not? If your child works hard, he/she can be channelled to express stream in Sec 2. An overall score of 70% and above for end of year exam will guarantee tht switch. My own personal experience 😊
