A student in Australia has been widely mocked after she scored 99.95 per cent for her final high school exams – the second-highest overall mark possible – and then appealed against her result.
Sarah Hui Xin Wong, who attended an elite private girls' school in Sydney, said she had a wrist problem, suffered discrimination and her mark should have been 100. Her result, a university entrance score, meant she beat 99.95 per cent of other students – but she believed she would have received the top mark if treated fairly.
Miss Wong was ridiculed for the appeal, as was her mother, who was inevitably labelled a "Tiger Mom" after it emerged she had lodged the initial complaint to the board of studies.
"What's the 0.05 mark going to do?" said a comment on the news.com.au." The mother needs to back down." Full story...
