This weekend I spoke to our 10 yr old son Kevin, back in Mexico from my work base here in Italy via Skye, a weekly hour long event that I rarely miss.
Kevin's a little shy and not one to brag about his achievements and its sometimes hard to get info from him about things such as his schooling.
This time though I had the upper hand to get him to talk about his latest school results after Norma sent me a scan of his bimonthly examination results card.
His exams are split into two groups, one for English based classes and one for Spanish based ones. For the exams taken just before Christmas he scored straight 10's in ever subject! The first person in his group of 30 plus students in the school to do this. Being modest he then said he was disappointed to drop just one point in each group during the following examinations in February!!!
The results are fantastic especially as most of his classmates are 12 - 18 months older than him and naturally as parents we are over the moon with his progress but what makes me really proud is the last comment by his Spanish group head teacher which I've translated on his results card
It'll take a while for Norma and myself to come down from the clouds!!!
Hope you don't mind me sharing this info with you. I told him I would tell the world of his success and he thought I was kidding!
