Background: I don’t want to be hang up on school exams. I explained many times it’s too short-term too much pressure for the wrong purpose.

I do want my son to aim for a good secondary school, because the education resources are not allocated evenly among all schools. This is the situation in all countries, Singapore or the US. Should not be too serious. This is the CC category. I am more serious about his AA and BB skills. See the framework for examples.
