Pass or Fail?

Last Sat was Jayden's exam in Shichida, just to test how much he know. The sensei asked "Jayden, Elephant starts with? Please circle the answer"

He didn't move. He was just holding his pencil and then he turned and looked at me.

I said "circle the answer la. I know you know the answer".

Then he put his pencil on the paper and he wrote:


So happened he wrote this E for me today together with other alhapabets and a heart shape. So I can show u guys how his E looks like. hehe

When we (both me and his sensei) saw what he did, we're like stunned for a moment.

And then the next question was "Bottle starts with letter?"

He wrote B.

And then "Umbrella starts with?" And he wrote U.

But there was a few alphabets which he doesn't know how to write so he circled the right answer.

I know, a 3 yr old who can write cacat-ed alphabet like that is nothing. But to me, I am really surprised because he never show me that he knows how to write and he did it without dotted lines to guide him. When I ask him to write he'll ask me to hold his hands and write with him. He said he cannot do it and don't know how. Notty lil fler.....he know it all the while, saja wanna manja with me.

I was smiling from ears to ears in class. Then I went home and told Big C about it and then I realized ....Alamak!.... the instruction was "CIRCLE" the answer and not "WRITE" the answers" So did he pass or fail leh? *scratch head*

  22. Smart boy!! I think write or circle, it is the same...If really need to circle only will pass the test, then, I think they don't let the kid freely express themselves

  25. Brilliant! That day he decided to surprise u with wat he knows, which u didn't know he knew. ;)
    U know wat, he understood the instruction, ie to circle the answers. But becoz he wanted to surprise u, he wrote out the alphabets. So for those he doesn't know how to write, he mah circle loh. Way to go, Jayden!

    pass for being smarter than you think he is, but fail coz didn't do as instructed. i think if teachers mark the paper, they don't give face one - sure pangkah :( and would tell him to do correction - boleh?
