It is not the family’s fault, but mine in not keeping up with updates. They do send me emails and I have just not had the time to keep up with the updates. Here is one I recieved today:
Good day to you! I do hope your okay though tired, I know. I am here just to give you updates about [J]. School will be over this week. Their final exams are over and now they are just working for their clearances and other matters in school. [J] retains the 4th position in the academic. But, according to the school … the department of education in the [SE Asia] gave new rule. That, events and other involvement of the student like competitions, school meets, activities, etc … will have additional points. So, academic will not be the only basis for grading system but also the students involvement to all activities. 70% will be given for the academics and 30% for the activities. Because of the slight differenceof [J]to 5th position and the 6th position, the student in the sixth position had a big score in the activities, that 6th student became the 4th and [J] became the 5th. Janet was really upset about this because parents were not informed before about the said changes in the grading system. She wanted to make an appeal. But I just told her if that is the new policy, even if we are right, they will still stick to this new rule. So, the end is, [J] have the 5th position and will be recognize this coming Monday, March 29. As for me I am upset as well. But, I just leteverything to God. I also talked to [J] that we have to work double next time to be atleast in the 3rd or higher. Will send you copies of the recognition day. And still we thank you for all your prayers. Hope to hear from you.
