Tragedy of the National Exam

My heart was reaching out to those teenagers getting so emotional I saw on TV the whole day, Monday, April 26, 2010. They were part of the 10-- % highschool students who did not pass the National Exam, way exceeding the percentage the year before. Some were fainted not being able to accept the result, some were in trance, some others were crying histerically.

As a mother, I dared not even imagine how broken their moms' hearts were. As a teacher, I was really dumbfounded, and as a teacher trainer I could not accept the reality either.

National Exam has always be a heatening debate. From year to year. And yet, seeing at the news, there was no comment from the policy makers at all. One newspaper casted: Gov Needs to be Honest. Honest about what? I am in doubt.Where were they? They were not even around when the mess happened. And yet, they were everywhere on the screen before the exam days...assuring things....

In some more days, the result for the junior high students will be announced. Will the same scene happen? And next week, the National Exam for the Elementary School students will take place. They are so young....too young to bear the torture...
