Australian student mocked after appealing 99.95 per cent exam score

I've actually witnessed this type of sillyness before. Srilankan girl in my school got like 14 A* and was crying about one A.
I don't know more people like this existed.

Thats called dedication towards something she is good at.It may be surprising for you but not for many.

Comments on this article

I live in Australia and this article doesn't mention one thing which was mentioned in the Australia press earlier this week.

The Board of Studies offered the use of a writer to take down dictation which the student declined. If she felt her hand was that bad, she would have taken up this offer.

So surely that 0.05 loss was due to her fault

Another one

know everbody knows:
she has joint hypermobility of the wrist, hopefully she does not plan to be a surgeon.

Australians of asian heritage are very competitive in their studies. You can't get higher than 99.95% really.
