The evaluation result

Today Ethan came back from school with some junk food and presents. Mother thought that it was his classmate's birthday party again. Well, not this round. He told mother that all the things were given by the teacher. Asked whether is it everybody got the things? He said no because he is the only one who get the sharpener from the teacher. We were asking why then he only informed that student get 100% will entitle to get the present from teacher. For him whether get the present or not, he seemed like not having any special feeling at all. This is because when mother went to pick him out, he didn't happily announced that he scored all the subjects and gotten the present from his teacher. He just kept quiet as if nothing happened. If we did not probe him, we would not know what happened. From what we observed, whether he scored or not, he seemed like "tak apa".

Mother was glad that he had done the evaluation on his own without mother doing any revision with him. It proved that he really learned in the school. At night, daddy asked whether want to reward him for such a good result. "NO" was the answer from mother. Mother doesn't want to let him have those thinking that 100% mark in test will get reward. Mother doesn't want him to have the think of learning with a motive. What we wanted is to maintain his current "tak apa" thinking then he will not have any pressure in learning and also facing the exam in future.
