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?

My question to my son would be, what would YOU choose and why? PSLE should be around 12 years old or so, they'll have their own idea about things they want to do and choices they have to make. Instead of advising which path to go to, it'll help more to let him know the difference between both options (eg. the number of years, the difference in academic level etc) and let him decide on his own. What school it is doesn't matter, neighborhood or good school, it's still a school!
