Bearing in mind what that family have been going thro, I wonder whether that boy was evn in the right state of mind to even score 200.

Mine did her exam in 2012 and thus going form 2. And she was admitted to a national school 'without struggle'.
And personally i haven't demeaned anybody's kid if you read my posts clearly without emotions.

^^^ Kcpe top scores in 2012 were lower than in 2013, so her 392 was up there then. Just check that kcpe 2012 thread you quoted.

and who's this Billy Wailer?

. For how long have you been in form one young man?

@Um Sayala.... After sending the index No. to 20042 what did you find out?

Are the results posted online? If so where? I'm yet to see them on either the ministry's or KNEC's sites.

Talented and Passionate indeed.
If only kplc,the monopoly agrees to take him as an intern for experience sake..

Our schools are more focused on passing exams and appearing on paper.There's hardly any time left for kids to discover their potential and work towards realizing them.
The option left is to create paid for clubs for self talent discovery.
From Karate/swimming/scouts/music/drama/dance etc,a child has to belong or end up a nerd.

Secondary is a whole new adventure where Hormones,environment and new subjects combine.

Enters Form 3,the make/break stage where one begins to see visions of uni or the village polytechnic akishona woolen table clothes or practising useremala.And teachers are good at rubbing this one on during cats/mocks.smh.

The Pressure to excel sets in because no one wishes to become a tailor in the village,forgetting that Mario and Martino the founders of Prada are/were tailors.

Talking of woodwork,some people are too smart to even fix a bulb because it's technical/practical. They would rather sit in darkness if they electrician is unavailable.
Others would rather walk ubuttoned because they can't sew back the button.
Another special group will not boil a tomato,because it's too complicated or lowly a job. Top chefs earn good very money, infact I envy them.

Lastly,are those who are too busy to spend time with their kids and help them identify and promote talent.
I was shocked to hear some parents talk ill of school holidays because having kids around means extra work.
These ones opt to take the kids back for more tuition or Peak performance trainings thus Shifting responsibility at a cost.
No wonder many young adults spend time in cybercafes,sleeping and partying because Talent to them is not income generating but wild fun.

Anyway such people end up very miserable when push comes to shove because they can't think outside the box.
