I would like to share with you the letter ...
I would like to share with you the letter a
school principal in Singapore sent to the parents before the exams.
‘Dear Parents
The exams of your children are to start
soon. I know you are anxious for your child to do well.
But please do remember, among the learners
who will be sitting for the exams there will be an artist, who doesn’t need to
understand Mathematics. There is an entrepreneur, who doesn’t care about
History or English literature. There is a musician, whose chemistry marks won’t
matter. There’s an athlete …. whose physical fitness is more important than
Physics. If your child does get top marks, that’s great! But if he or she
doesn’t, please don’t take away their self-confidence or dignity. Tell them
it’s ok, it’s just an exam. They are cut out for much bigger things in life.
Tell them, no matter what they score, you love them and won’t judge them.
Please do this, and when you do, watch your
children conquer the world. One exam or low mark won’t take away their dreams
and talent. And please, do not think that doctors and engineers are the only
happy people in the world.
With warm regards.’
