Provisional offer to uni scholarship

@Imp75 all the best for tmr’s results!
Do parents usually go and sit in the hall? Or will they wait at home for their teens to text them when they are ready?

I think by this age, most would prefer not to have parents hanging around. They would prefer to spend the time with their schoolmates and not feel obliged to “look after” their parents! Anyway, with mobile phones, they can let their parents know their results almost immediately - not like my day when there were long, long queues at the 1-2 public phones in the school!

I did not enjoy witnessing A levels results collection last year.
Yes, there are 20 or so kids who would get some form of honorary mention for their good grades, persevering in spite of adversity etc. Am certainly happy for them.
However, I also witnessed a fair number of individual sobbing, devastation and disappointments at the different nooks and corners in school. That stuck with me strongly.

@slmkhoo Yes, I doubt my son will want me around in school for his O level results.

Thanks. This time round, not gancheong as PSLE as back then as we really wanted all 3 girls to be in the same Sch (back then cop for nygh the year prior was 26+, seemed like a very tall order).
This time round, my girls sort of already had plans regardless of results so in a way, it’s not that taxing to the heart. -
@Imp75 It’s a feat to have three kids in NYGH!

Ok lah we were blessed we didn’t hv to travel
Around the whole island to ferry them to Sch or separating my twins. -
@Imp75 your girls must be mature for age, and academically strong too.
many kids are not driven or moltivated during primary school days, and some, even with the best tuition support etc are not able to reach the academic grades to get into top sec schools.
