THE SPM results are out. In one household, shrieks of joy echo as parents hug their straight-A child. In another, the same silence that follows disappointment settles like a heavy fog. We all know the platitudes that follow this ritual. “SPM is not the end.” “It’s not the final determinant of your future.” Bernama FILE PIX

The only way up is sideways, to reduce the stakes of SPM, diversify assessment, reward teachers who teach thinking instead of answering techniques and yes, learn from schools like MCKK that balance intellectual rigour with character development.
