The long-awaited day finally came today. Cass brought back her report card for the final term exam. She gave me a huge surprise! From almost rock-bottom in her class in the 2nd term exam and was told by her teacher that she would be out of the elite class next year if her final exam scores are bad, she worked her way up to 4th in class and 5th in the entire Standard 3. Way to go baby girl!
My promise to her if she gets a position of top 20 in the entire Standard 3 is two Land of Stories novels costing over RM50 each and a spin at the Japanese soft toy claw machine. Though already 9, Cass secretly adores cute soft toys and figurines. In fact, she has an eye for everything kawaii. Currently, she’s eyeing a Samoyed and Corgi puppy. Real life pups, that is, and has been bugging me to get us a pup. Yeah, keeping a dog in our condo.
And with this, Cass gets to remain in the elite class next year, something that both of us are not too excited about. I want us to be more relaxed and not be too academic-centered. We both do not want the pressure of being in this class. For 2 years, we went through the same sentiments and situations. Hopefully by next year, the school will stop segregating students as per the latest directive from the FT Education Director.
