Knowledge is the Pearls of Life...

Heart wrenching

Zaidi just had his CA marks. This time he failed his math, too many careless mistakes. He was sad and explained to me that he did try very hard, he concentrated and read the questions carefully and tried to do how I had shown him to do. But sadly, he still lost marks due to careless mistakes. He told me he wanted so hard to have many crosses on his paper. I feel for him. For me, I felt his disappointment and determination. I guess it is time I step up and do something. I know I don't have that precious studying time with him. Cos everytime I come home from work, it is already late and when Zaidi wants to study with me, Raiyan would want to tag along. He refuses to part from me....and of course he causes distractions for Zaidi. I can feel the battle Zaidi is going through. I am sorry Zaidi, for now I cannot have that full time with you yet..but I am working hard towards it.

Zaidi has interest in joining Kumon as he always observes his cousins who are younger then him do math without even batting an eye!! And after reading up on Kumon's method of learning, I understand what they focus on and I believe this can help Zaidi in many ways. Going for the parent orientation at Kumon tomorrow with Zaidi and he is so excited and set to start as soon as possible. He said "I want to be able to do math fast and accurate just like my cousin!". He is so enthusiastice but I am afraid he may be pushing himself to hard. I will support him in any way I can.
