A school principal in Singapore sent this letter to the parents before the exams..
Dear Parents,
The exams of your children are to start soon. I know you are all really anxious for your child to do well.
But, please do remember, amongst the students, who will be sitting for the exams, there is an artist, who doesn’t need to understand Maths.
There is an entrepreneur, who doesn’t care about History or English literature.
There’s a musician, whose Chemistry marks won’t matter.
There’s a sportsperson, whose physical fitness is more important than Physics..like Schooling
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 and dignity from them.
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 will not judge them.
Please do this, and when you do, watch your children conquer the world. One exam or a 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,
The Principal
孩子和孩子差别很大，对孩子不同能力的认可最重要。这不只是校长的责任，更是大家的责任。同时思想的转变也需要国家政策来引导。
家长一定得对自己的孩子有信心，这样孩子也才会有信心做好每一件事情。记住，每个孩子都是好孩子。
好像发给小六生的吧。
每次看到百种滋味….
鸡汤文
是啊，大家都知道现实是残酷的。
There is 的意思就是，那可能是你，也可能不是你。我没说那必定就是你家孩子，到时候别来怪我。
那是算命先生，无良广告用来忽悠人的套路。
所以，本地校长是不会说这种模棱两可的话的。
事实上，Google 一下其中的词句，
到处都有这段话
所以，除了那个生硬加上的 “Like Schooling”, 其它的也不知道是哪儿抄来的东东。
群里传了好几次，如果有人说这不是真实的，不是一种失落。
鸡汤现在是另一个大家不忍直视的词。
实际上，只要说中了心里真正的想法，不必太纠缠细节。
孩子和孩子差别太大，实在不需要用一把尺子量所有人的成就。现在的社会发展程度，基本吃喝不愁，每个人能够不偷懒地高兴地做自己喜欢的事情，社会就会健康地发展了。
