"The teacher said not to take the exam but my mother taught me to keep trying"

Reader Tam Mai shared her story: "Thank you very much to the parents and Thanh Nien Newspaper for speaking up to reclaim the children's "right to study". I also experienced the same thing 21 years ago. At that time, the homeroom teacher also invited my mother up and spoke very harshly, but my mother firmly refused, not because of my poor health or poor academic performance that she took away my opportunity (even though my mother was illiterate)...

That year I really did not graduate from grade 12, I was very sad... but because of my mother's trust, always encouraging me to keep trying even if there was only a little hope, I continued to study. Because my family was poor, I applied for supplementary study instead of regular study, the next year I passed. My mother cried...

After that, I worked and studied design at the same time, and at 30 years old, I was able to open my own company. My mother never stopped encouraging or believing in me. Even though many people advised her to stop studying and go to work as a factory worker. I tell my own story so that parents with weak children can have more practical sources to encourage their children...

If my mother did not give me faith, did not give me hope, perhaps a sickly and fainting girl like me would never be able to stand on my own two feet and overcome difficulties in life. My mother taught me the attitude towards life, the way to constantly try, always learn is important. And now I teach my child what my mother's love has taught me."

Similarly, a person named Huy wrote: "Instead of affecting the children's psychology, please use the heart of a teacher to encourage teachers and students to try to overcome challenges. I do not blame all teachers who are dedicated teachers, but I just hope you will think again.

I was counseled for my own child because his academic performance was not really good. I ignored the advice and really went through the challenge of getting into a worthy public school with my son...".

A student named Minh Phan suggested: "Teachers should review their counseling methods. What is counseling? Don't force students not to take the exam because that is their right, their parents will choose suitable schools to study... Departments and branches should take timely measures to prevent similar cases from happening again."

Taking the 10th grade entrance exam is a legitimate right of students.

Is achievement disease incurable?

Many readers' comments mentioned the cause of the achievement disease in the education sector. BĐ Phamngovu wrote: "Achievement disease is an incurable disease, difficult to cure, people with this disease will gradually... become estranged from their educational goals, unfortunately".

Another person said: "It's all because of the title of good teacher, and the school's progress, meeting the standards for students to pass the entrance exam to public schools. When I was in 9th grade, the teachers didn't encourage students to study hard, but instead advised students to go to vocational schools and other private schools"...

Bao Water asked: "Is the education sector powerless to deal with this kind of achievement disease? The Ministry of Education has promised to strictly handle these cases but they continue to happen, proving that the law is not strong enough so don't be afraid, it must be corrected immediately...".

"Teachers, principals, and vice principals like those in the article should review what they are doing. Don't take away the dreams and opportunities of students," wrote BĐ DK.

BĐ Dungnguyen suggested that "the education sector and the police should clarify why the phone numbers of parents whose children are taking the 10th grade entrance exam are being called to solicit offers from vocational schools. For example, my family has been called several times, so where did the information and phone numbers come from for vocational schools to call?"
