It's been a while since i've posted anything, being caught up in a whirlwind of activities, exams, and classes. As I trudged through the parade of exams, an interesting idea was presented, by a guest to our weekly meetings: maybe school is more rigourous at Kipevu... perhaps we take for granted the opportunity to learn and grow in an environment where we have teachers supporting us each step of the way. Our "difficult classes" and "hard exams" may even pale in comparison to what the Kipevu students are expected to memorize and understand. Does the fact that we assume entrance into college and a career later in life make us dramatize our situation when retrospectively we have it easy. I should be interested to see an example of a highschool entrance exam when we go, to help understand what is expected from the students by the teachers, the system, the schools and themselves.
