Was listening to Mix FM on the way to office today, where the topic being discussed was exams, students & parents perceptions and of course, the dangling of carrots ..
That carrot part got me reminiscing about my eldest doter's PMR result. When she did better than we expected (to be honest, she is not stupid, only lazy), we as the 'kiasu' loving parent wanted to reward her and perhaps, she would be motivated, buck up and do better in SPM (which she did).
So we gave her RM1K.....and we wrote her a cheque for this amount..it's not safe to walk around with cash $$ in the pockets mah, rite
And we told her, she should keep the cheque to remind herself that this money was her hard-earned midnight burning (??) efforts. For self-motivation purpose..
So she gets to keep the RM1K cheque and we get to keep our RM1K..
We are HAPPY FAMILY ..
All the best to SPM sitters..
