Suicide Over UPSR?
I was quite sad reading the news about an Indian girl who committed suicide because she got an D for Bahasa Malaysia. It’s really depressing seeing a girl as young as 12 years old trying to take her life away just because she didn’t do well in a public exam for primary school.
There are so many exams in a student’s life, especially to those who studied in Chinese schools. If all these students take the results so seriously, I wonder what is the purpose of going to school now? I know that my kids are going to Chinese school since hubby doesn’t like the idea of sending them to international school. So, they will be growing up in hectic learning process and burden themselves with lots of homework and exams. But I know what I can do to help them out, just let them explore and enjoy their learning process. Being a straight A student doesn’t mean you will be successful in life. It’s all about study and work smart in the world.
Seriously, it’s only UPSR…Let’s take it easy.
I agree with you, Amy. One has to be an all rounder.
Jo-N, yes, you are right, ALL ROUNDER.
it is so true… even study in chinese school doesn’t mean you must compete to get more A. Let them enjoy life in their childhood, bring them out for fun and play and more A doesn’t mean they are successful. I regret to spent so much money for my degree course and ended up not happy with my work now.
sorry what I mean is even you get into university from achieving many A it won’t gurantee that you will be a successful person in life too.
