This is a high school senior's parent's response to the UDN article I posted on my entry yesterday.

失落高三…苦了他 磨了媽

廿九日「女兒的高三都在拚學測一文所寫的,正是我與兒子現在最大的困擾;該作者的女兒還能為第二階段努力,而我兒子第一階段全未通過,我正苦惱著如何幫兒子找回失落的高三

My comments: Failure in passing the first stage can be a blessing in disguise.   The student doesn't need to prepare for any interview or screening test.  All he needs to do now is keep learning new things and study for the UEE in July.  I had quite a few students who didn't pass the first stage either and had to take the UEE in July but went to their dream department and university.  Some of them even got into a better school than if they had gotten early admission in April.  I used to tell my students, "All flowers bloom, but not necessarily at the same time, in the same way."

兒子還沒考學測時跟我說,他要讀什麼科系、怎樣的大學,等到學測成績出來時,他根據落點分析,填了六個志願,結果全沒過。其實他的成績並不差,只是這次英文及社會科考得比較好,但是他的興趣是理工科,就因為他的數學、自然科並不突出而落選,連科大也是如此,他整個人就變得消極散漫

My comments: Now, attitude is everything.   The student has two choices.  He can choose to be beaten by this failure or to work harder to fulfill his dream.  It's understandable that he can feel depressed for a few days, but that down feeling shouldn't last long because it won't lead him to his goal at all.

問兒子現在最煩惱的事是什麼,他說當然是考大學,即使拿到高中文憑,考不上理想大學,要重考,還不是跟重讀一樣。他因為準備學測,高三的課業都放掉了。現在我這個當媽的最大課題,是如何幫兒子追回失落的高三課程,然後繼續他下階段新的開始。唉!這個學測制度真的很折磨家長。
