Obsession with straight A's

The UPSR results are out and as usual students with straight A's are getting all the attention.  Students who do not perform well are sidelined and looked down upon.  Children nowadays are subjected to tremendous pressure to do well academically.  Is it of great significance in the future of a child?  Does it mean when they do not perform well in the UPSR examination, their future is doomed?

Whenever examination results are out, the often asked question amoung parents is, `How many A's did your child get?'  I should said that children should enjoy their time in school as education is not only about academic results.  Also if everyone is to score all A's and become high flyers, does it mean everyone is CEO of Companies?  All become CEO and where are the workers?

Something for sharing.
