Monster first exam

Today my leng leng finished her last exam paper. This week is her exam week. Her first official exam in primary school. I promise her to bring her out after school for a small treat. And we can go library after that. Then back home to nap. And after dinner will be art class. She has no concept for "marks". And she dont really know what is exam. Slowly she will know. I thnk she will do very well for english and chinese. But for maths, i think will be tough. But i know she has done her best already. That is the more important part. Marks are secondary. But she has t put in effort. And as parents, we have to help her. if we helped her plus her own effort, and still cannot make it through maths, then its just too bad. If she really cannot do maths, at least survive through pri levels, for secondary, she can do arts. I know she is not a science and maths person, but more of a arts person. So if she wants to do languages, music, drawing, she can pursue in that area. As long as she has a skill which enable her to survive in society, it really doesnt matter if she is very paper qualified or not. She can be art teacher, music teacher, language teacher etc, so for arts, its perfectly alright. She seems keen in learning a third language. We may be exploring into that option also. To me, a survival skill is more important than paper qualification, and of coz the most important is still character. I think all parents would rather want their children to be of good character and healthy, staying by their side, rather than just doing them proud by having good results. If there can be only one choice. They will definitely choose the former.
