Coffeelatte03\" post_id=\"2090818\" time=\"1669653746\" user_id=\"198645:I can totally relate. DS Maths drop AL1 to AL4. He is in SAP school. He has never scored below 90 marks in all 6 years. He was very confident he will get into his dream IP school. But everything is dashed now. We tried to rationalized what could go wrong. From his horrible handwriting to his messy presentation of all the workings etc. Guess we will never know.
It was indeed very hard to swallow and we broke down. Couldn’t believe our eyes. She cried the whole day…😭 It was really heartbreaking. I Had no idea what happened during the exams. She said everything was manageable and much easier than prelims. Whole family was utterly shocked. Her friends couldn’t believe it either. Some thought she was joking.
Had a hard time choosing schools as we had never imagined or planned for this AL range. I’m glad she’s feeling better these few days though. It hasn’t been easy for all of us.
My consolation is how he handle the whole situation. He is more mature than me! I am the one crying while he is the one consoling me and repeating to me what I told him about how his PSLE results doesn't define his future etc. I am the one who keep wanting to appeal to review his Maths. He is not keen but he says if it makes me feel better, I can go ahead. He told me he has come to terms with his results and will be happy and contented to go into either of his first 2 choices of \"o\" levels school.
This incident also brought us closer. He hugs me daily this week to make sure I am ok. Our roles reversed.
Although he scored AL4 for Maths, his attitude is definitely AL1.
塞翁失马 焉知非福.
