Results, results, results

Friday is the X-country day...till 6pm? But my mind will still be in school, not that I love the school that much. Rather, it's D-Day for 4-10. It's the only time when I wish I have a religious affiliation... Who can I pray to in times of this? Will it be 100% pass? Happy or at least relieved faces all around?

That's the frustration and challenge most teachers face (or relish??) - achieving results through others, getting As when students get distinctions and Fs when they fail. Why are we always held accountable for results? Do students not have a greater say in the kind of scoresheet they get?

I've done my best and saying 'All the best' is the only thing I can do now....

Luckily, I'm getting away to Malaysia this Sat for a respite...can lose myself in the forest if the results are bad... touch wood...

May the hours tick away quickly to 10 February 2006... MacRitchie, Lambak and Mandai ... Am going places...
