At 6:10am, I received an SMS from Ministry of Education informing me that Marieann has been posted to St Margaret's Secondary School.
Yippe! Marieann has been posted to her first choice secondary school! :)
I
know some people will be having this question in their minds, "Why
isn't Marieann going back to SCGS"? Well, she didn't qualify to go back
with SCGS's cut-off of 220 for old girls. She qualified for Express/
Normal Academic. Being her first educator and an educational researcher,
I made a choice which some people didn't agree with, including my
husband who thought I was dumbing down my own child. I would rather she
learn at a comfortable pace and excel than to be forever struggling to
catch up.
I hope you will not look down on or think lesser of my child
as every child has different learning needs and pace. I was also only an
average student back in school and I still get an occasional remark from
old classmates, "I would never have thought of you as someone who would
get a PhD".
A big thank you to my many friends and ex-students who thought and agreed that I have made the right choice for my daughter! Thank you for your words of encouragement and support. It means a lot to Marieann and me! :)
PS. I will be sleeping very well tonight! :) Last night has been horrible, could hardly sleep a wink due to my anxiety.
making it easier to keep in touch with family and friends
