My kids got their report cards last Friday and I was pleasantly surprised, nay, deliriously happy with the results.
Dino, my eldest, who's now Grade 5 in Lourdes School in Mandaluyong, improved his grade point average by 3 points, increasing from 83 to 86 making him break the class Top 10 for the first time at number 9.
Marco who's in Prep, who I rarely see open a book, much less study had straight E's in his card. E apparently meaning "Evident" in this politically correct grading system. Who cares! I was ecstatic!
This has not been easy for all of us, particulary for Dino, since Lourdes adopted the Trimestral form of the school year. The amount of things to study are far more than what I encountered, or chose to encounter wheh I was studying.
Great job kids! Your Mom and Dad love you very much and are very proud of you.
