The twins just got back their English and Maths SA1 results. I have always guessed that Natalie's Maths results would be pretty far below Nathanial's as she has no interest in Maths. Besides she was running a fever of 38.3 deg when she took her Maths paper, emerging from the exam hall less than 40min after the paper started.
Looking at their grades, I am pleased to say that Natalie scored 60/65 for English and topped her class, even though the mistakes she made were really silly. Nathanial did even better, with 61.5/65 for English and some really silly mistakes.
For Maths, Nathanial scored a whooping 96/100 which really pleased me, while Natalie just managed to scrape through a Band 1 at 85/100. To be absolutely honest, anything below 90% for P1 and P2 is unsatisfactory for me. How I used to cane my sister for scoring 79% for Chinese when she was in P1 all the way to P4! Imagine my joy when she managed to be caned into scoring an 85%, Band 1 so that she qualified for EM1 and taking Higher Chinese! Obviojusly the parenting lessons have taught us not to do that anymore, but I can't deny I am disappointed and discontented with the grades Natalie has scored for Maths. Yes, I may accept her for who she is, what she can and cannot achieve, but I can't deny I am disappointed. I have real huge confessions to make before God, I'm afraid.
