Dear children, thank you for responding to the request Aunty Yemi made, asking you to send in your parents’ comments when they went through your 2nd term results. Below are some of the responses I got.

When my mum looked through my second term results, she said ‘Wow! You can do better.’ She made that comment because my result in phonics was poor. Apart from that, she was impressed with my overall performance. Daddy gave me a hand shake and also admonished me to work harder next term. I felt very happy.

My parents were happy with my results. They encouraged me to do better in the next one, which is the third term examinations.

My parents collected my result but felt I did not perform to their expectation. They told me that I tried but that needed to put more effort. They promised to buy me Easter dress and shoes if I met their expectations but they did not because I did not fulfill my own part of the deal. However, I have their words to grant all my requests if I pass excellently in the forthcoming junior NECO and BECE.

My mum and dad were a bit angry because my second term scores in Mathematics and Government were lower than that of the first term, though I did very well in other subjects. Before we sat for the second term examination, I requested for my parents’ permission to go and spend the holiday with my maternal grandmother but they promised to grant it based on my results. So because of my low performance in the two subjects mentioned, I was denied the opportunity to go on holiday to grandma’s house.

My mum was the one who received our report cards. She checked through all before she left our school but she didn’t say anything. When we got home, she told me that I didn’t do well in Verbal Reasoning and P.H.E. She encouraged me to try harder next term on those two subjects. She also encouraged me to try and score everything in all subjects next time. There was no promise either before or after when she checked. When my dad checked the results, he encouraged me to be more diligent and focused. He bought my siblings and I ice cream the following day.
