Oh UPSR

Yup, the results are out. And my boy got 3A's and 2B's and I'm dead proud of him!!

He was a bit disappointed with himself, specially since some of his best buddies got 5A's, but since most of them (bar 2 actually) spend a lot of time in Tuition classes I reasoned that if they didn't get shining results their parents would probably ask for a refund. But tuition classes are almost mandatory for townie kids, you wouldn't believe the pressure I had to bear when I decided not to send Aiman to one.

But in Janda Baik (the place where my heart lives) 6 kids got 5A's (a nephew and a niece amongst them) and 6 others scored 4A's and 1B. That's not bad for a kampung school, who's standard 6 population numbers 60. That's 20% folks. There are no tuition classes up there and 12 year old's are forced to share their revision time with working with dad on the farm or helping mum out with her catering business. So that for me was a hell of an achievement for SK Janda Baik.

Maybe I should have sent him there...
