Suresh’s class felt different from the first day in Primary 6. Some classmates had toned down from their antics and became more focused. The teachers weren’t surprised as this was typical for the top 2 “banded” classes in the level.
No matter how teachers tried to play it down, students were constantly comparing results after any assignment and test. When Suresh turned out to no longer be the first few in a weighted assessment, he felt lousy. Work became a lot tougher and Suresh began plummeting. His dream of going to the best school was slipping away.
Suresh’s father had been very concerned about the pressure he was facing. He never demanded anything else besides Suresh doing his best. Nevertheless, the father and son decided to give Fun Learners School a go with English, math and science.
In FLS, the first thing sorted out with Suresh was his wrong impression that he had to be the top student to be good. Even though results may be important, education is for improving mental abilities and cultivating character.
The multiple mini tests in Fun Learners School lessons made Suresh realise his real problem of it being able to complete even relatively easy questions within the time limit. He felt that SpotzOn was indeed God-sent because the testing platform provided multiple time-trial practices. That was exactly what he needed, and Suresh felt a new sense of confidence and hope.
