Why are some people so envious of those who get high marks?
I know there are those who struggle and work hard for low marks but
there are also those who struggle,work hard,miss out on the going out nights, party's etc so they can achieve high marks.
If someone asks a kid ( who got high points )what points they got and they tell the person,some see this as boasting,but its not,its answering a question and stating a fact.
Some parents who boasted about how well their kids would do,had to eat a lot of humble pie!!
Some kids are just plain lazy,some kids go out each and every weekend during leaving cert year.some of those kids slag off the ones who put in the hard work,some of those kids are very very disappointed now.
I know of kids who just did as little as possible,whos parents are now sending them off on holidays as a reward!!
They seem to think that they would have no problem getting into college with no study and partying all the time..it doesnt quite work that way..
And the excuses the parents are dishing out is unreal.
Its simple your kid didn't do the work ,they don't deserve the college place or the holiday!Get over it,cop on ,and start being a parent,letting them do what they want is the easy option and now look what happened!!
I have to say that the kids who worked hard and got what they could are not included in the above rant,Im full of admiration for them..
Interesting that those who got high marks are now embarrassed to say what marks they got,it is in fact actively encouraged not to say what they got in case in offends anyone!that says to me that we don't like to acknowledge success..in other words ,we cannot be seen to praise those who did well??
