Academic score not the ultimate decider

AS a teacher, I get annoyed every time I am asked how many A achievers I can produce. If I say that achieving As is not the be-all and end-all in life, the response would surely be: “Oh, that means you are doubtful of your ability.”

It is a long-held belief that teachers who produce the most number of A-achievers are truly competent while those who fall short are treated with disdain.
