    they want that we get a better job than they... because they worked hard and dont want that their children go the same way...

    you can't "not tell them"
    especially the younger kids.. they'll find out soon enough.. especially when the half year reports come out.. (thats how it is in australia)

    here we get 1 to tens
    ten is the best score.

    in 5th grade or so i came home with 8's 7;s and one 6 for a subject . my mother started to trip like crazy about thet 6 while i belonged to the top of the class... i couldnt believe it, luckily i had a common sense back then. but i think a lot of you know what i have experienced haha .
    nowadays i dont hear that kinda shit no more. i think they gave up on me ....:(

    anyways i feel yall but dont worry . just do your best and try to take it for what it is...-smart

    I think this is especially true in Hong Kong just because education is a much faster pace than compare to other parts of the world.

    well... i'm in canada and... i guess theres a lot of second chances out there like if u don't make it into university theres always a place for you to upgrade so that you can get into uni.

    but i'm an only child.... so if i do bad... my parents just ask me why i'm doing so bad... and tells me to try harder
