It tells you something about the school.... Monday, 23 November 2009

Allie is in Sophia's class, she's the student with the hamster whose mother helped us buy our hamster. Her family is moving to Malaysia after the New Year. The private school in Malaysia that she'll be attending has a pretty tough entrance exam, and Christie spent quite a bit of her time tutoring Allie one-on-one in the evenings and on the weekends.

Last week Allie went to Malaysia to take the entrance exam. Guess what grade she qualified for?

Let's review first. She's in an expensive, private school. She's in the 2nd grade. She has received a substantial amount of private tutoring from a qualified teacher, who not only had books from England but also had copies of previous exams from the same school.

So she should definitely have been prepared!

She qualifies for the 1st grade at this school in Malaysia.

So I definitely don't feel bad about having Sophia skip 1st grade here!
