Just a thought.
I’ve scrolled through at least four posts by different schools expressing how proud they are of their students and their igcse results.
Why don’t we take time to express this pride when a child helps another, when a child waters a plant, when a child accepts he/she was wrong about something, when a child tries something for the first time and when one child takes interest in another’s culture/religion/country/language or just their being.
Our mission statements continue to flaunt words like holistic and 21st century skills and reflective but we only celebrate what any tuition centre can do.
We celebrate exam results, in percentages.
60% got As. No individual acknowledgement. Just stock-taking.
Sorry if you worked really hard and got only a D, we appreciate it but we won’t acknowledge you.
Bad for our marketing dear.
Lets celebrate the little things that will make them better people with as much enthusiasm as we do igcse results.
