Congrats Debayo good job! Now Mr. Speid what about the first GSAT child to pass for schools like XLCR, Camperdown, St. Hugh's etc why weren't they celebrated too? You wrote a letter to the other paper the other day about not making kids feel left out if they weren't ready for exams, but I tell you if I were a child and I knew I worked hard and passed for one of these other schools and you didnt big me up the way you are doing now I would feel bad. Like what I did wasn't good enough!

Once again the "missing" dad.
We do not know why but we have seen so many of these high achievers and no mention of any dads.
