(98) be prepared...
Emily blogged that she's going to do quite badly for her mid-year exams. That post was probably specially created for me because she knows I read her blog. Then she tells me: 'The mid-year results don't count. Right, mum? It's the prelims and O-levels that really matter.' Well, despite swearing (on her blog) that she won't blog till her exams are over, you can still find her on msn or tagging and blogging away.
Jon? Ahhhh... he's happily and busily dota-ing away. When Laogong and I nag, he tells us that he has completed his homework and revision and has read the newspapers for the day. And his trump card? 'SJI doesn't have mid-year exams. We just have the common tests.' Has he forgotten that the parents have to meet the teachers at the end of every school term to discuss the results and collect the report book?
Will Emily and Jon do well or poorly this semester? Maybe God will be kind enough to work some miracles? And for the students who do well, there are always some parents who will still be disappointed in their children's good grades. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
I would be very disappointed only if my children did poorly. But as a former Girl Guide, I will always live up to the Guide's motto: Be Prepared. Yes, I am well-prepared and will not be bowled over by any poor result. The only consolation I can find in any awful grade is that I know my children never cheat during their exams!
