» Vinh City students 'cried like rain' because the 5th grade math problem was too difficult

Along with the confessions expressing "frustration" and "heartbreak" over the way the final exam for grade 5 was given, a parent in Vinh city also sent Nghe An Newspaper a letter from her child expressing disappointment with the recent final exam.

A letter from a 5th grade student to his teachers after finishing the Math exam at the end of last semester.

The letter was written neatly on student paper, with the content:

"... It's been 5 days since I left the final exam room of the second semester, and in my dreams I also think about it. I feel sad, miss my parents, miss the teacher who guided me over the years. I always remember her sad eyes, my mother's sighs and my friends' tears... The whole schoolyard seemed heavy that day. All of this urged me, made me think and write this letter to my teachers in the hope of relieving some of my obsession. With only the last year left, I also hope to have good results, a solid knowledge as a preparation for entering secondary school. Unlike previous exams, we had summer vacation, happily participated in extracurricular activities, the end of this year's exam was so strange, teachers!

Dear teachers! At our primary school level, there are 3 invigilators in one room for the second semester exam. Do you know how much pressure and mental pressure we are under? The math exam is already difficult, but the Vietnamese subject is not in line with the knowledge we have learned in the textbooks. We are just primary school students. Why do you challenge us with such an exam? Is it possible that all our efforts have been lost in this exam? Is it fair to us? That makes me very confused. When I asked the teacher, she shook her head, when I asked my mother, she just remained sad and silent. Why is that?...".

In a letter sent to teachers and the education sector of Vinh city, the 5th grade student also expressed concern and worry when the results of the online math competition Violympic have not yet been released; will this competition be used or not?

Before ending the letter, this student sadly asked, "Do we have enough faith in the city's education system and enough faith to continue to junior high school???" and wished"Teachers, please think about it and give us the earliest answer about the Violympic competition and the 5th grade final exam so that we can be less confused and feel more secure."

Many parents are confused because the math test is too difficult.

Not only students are wondering and worrying about the final exam of the 2nd semester of grade 5, but in recent days, many parents have also expressed their frustration with the way the questions are set up to be too difficult, not focusing on the main points and challenging students like that. Some people even think that this is a test for gifted students rather than a final exam and do not understand the purpose of the Vinh city education department setting such difficult questions.
