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?

Personally for me ill prefer for him to go to a better school. Im not too focused on the academic part, that is a bonus if he does well. Normal stream is less stressful for a kid, studies should not be everything. There is so much more for them to learn and studies is just one of it.
