(first article) in my opinion it will be pretty chill because i will know that it will be under the same timetable but the stress will be still there

(Second article) i agree with such system but it will only reduce the stress to such extent but with parental expectation and personal goals the stress will get worse for some

(last article) i feel that the removal of mid-year exams is kind of unnecessary as with such marks the teachers can gauge and target the students who need more help to learn and gauge the lessons to accommodate for all of the students

2nd article : i do not agree , because the students would get more stressed bc their parents are going to have high expectations of their kids to enter university .

last article : primary school students should HAVE mid year exams . to have enough practice for their end of year exam and PSLE , if they dont have mid year exams i think they wont be well prepared for psle and might fail and not go to secondary school .
