today went to marcus and mabel's school to meet their teachers.

mabel: no problem, all subjects band 2. She just have to write bigger and more legibly. She is very caring and helpful. in terms of level position, mabel has improved.

marcus: hmmmm, two subjects band 4, two subjects band 3. his most disappointing subject is maths. and his teacher is expecting him to get band 1 for science as he is always answering science questions in class with sensible answers. his maths is a failure because he flop at the problem sums. His MT needless to say.
He is not scoring for his English because of his composition. HIs content is too unrealistic, so his content scored low even though his grammar and vocabulary is interesting. His teacher commented that she likes to read his stories as he always have good vocabulary words to describe his story. And he does not know how to link his stories well.

however, his teacher found that he is more cheerful, more able to control his temper and more focus in his work this year. in terms of level position, he has improved also.

so the total report card: i don't know myself. honestly, i'm kind of immune to results and KPIs. I look at their final results, yeah, the final results is like that, but the process of getting to the result. is the process a happy one, is the process a sad one? in the process, what other skills have they pick up? more reliable, responsibility, focus, determination? these are the qualities that cannot be measured by a report card.

Just like working. in the end, this is the result of my job scope. I can give you the results if you want to.... but the process of getting the results. am i happy? what did i learn in the end?

i really miss being a child. at that time, exams seems to be the hardest thing, but when you come out to work, you realise there are harder challenges for you to overcome. Be it family, work or love life or even personal life.
