The situation took a twist when he came home saying there was a score for every compo and he found out he scored better than the girl who won a prize in his class and being a very determined boy, he wanted to 'confront' the teacher hahaha he wanted his GOLD TROPHY....it went for days when he would come home and complain but of course he din confront his teacher and there came a point when his compo was zapped for every student to copy as hw. He then persuaded mummy to class dojo that Chinese teacher who taught him for the 2 years sigh....never thot mummy would need to do such 'confrontation' but to ease the boy's queries and even his classmates' asking why he din win a prize so mummy did.
Sigh but the answer was just coz Ian has won numerous prizes and ought to give others a chance. Well mummy just answered diplomatically to teacher that Ian has got other friends who won the prize the previous year but they won again last yr but appeased teacher that mummy would talk to Ian about it. Though we weren't pleased with the answer, we just encouraged Ian to press on not for the prize but for the practice.
This yr Ian was skeptical about the compo writing as he recalls last year's saga but he got his best shot and he got runner-up tho he wasn't sure who else got the other prizes but he was grouped with the HMT with P5 and 6 as the cohort wasn't too big so they grouped the 2 levels together. Well done our son, don't let an unhappy saga let you down and press on for the eternal prize which is far more important that this trophy and that we know would be judged fairly by GOD! (just had to record this down as a closure of the past unhappy saga)
