School admissions

I hate these times for what it does to the parents. Thanks to so many lovely parents, a big majority of the children are quite oblivious of the pressure - it is the plight of parents which make my heart ache.

It is difficult for parents not to take the performance of the child as a statement of their capability. Logical or no, they always will. Mentally the parent is so involved with the identity of the child that the two becomes intermingled. That day, that hour will the child agree to go in the interview room or will (s)he cry or feel too nervous to do anything? Who knows and who can control?

It is time but Aarushi(read 'we) is still not in the pressure zone of 4 year olds - I feel for the 4 year olds' parents - in HK that's the last chance(sort of) one gets for the bigger schools and as they say "you can cut the air" ....
