Not all children will get high grades on exams, tests, and theses. School fame is for some, not for all. Sooner or later in life, those who consider themselves capable, who were loved and supported, especially when there was no crown on their head, will be the winners. Life is better than school because in life “exams” are more than just studying.

Not all children can have 10 on the line, not all children can pass all exams, but absolutely everyone needs to feel respected, valued and loved.

Exam marks don’t matter! If your mechanic goes to Litere, who repairs your car?

I firmly believe that each person has his own place and his own path in this life. We can’t all be brilliant, but everyone can succeed in a special field. Perhaps your daughter will not write poetry, but she will be a teacher who will awaken the love of education in the hearts of children, or a respected confectioner; your boy may not be a famous doctor, but he will become a respected mechanic whose phone will constantly ring for appointments.

Whatever job he gets, teach him that there is no shame in doing an honest job, that he can be appreciated for all the good things he does for others, that honesty, integrity and professionalism can’t get you a diploma, but it’s worth more than this.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your mechanic typed Letters? Who else would fix your car? Short stories won’t fix a broken clutch, so if you come, besides the skill, shake his hand for the skill with which he does his job!

Exam grades do not reflect who our children really are: a talented artist can draw without solving integrals

Have you heard of the “theory of multiple intelligences”? Well, that applies to all of us! Some are better at mathematics, others at music or other arts, others are good at expressing themselves in public, others cannot open their mouths because of their emotions, but they create works in writing!
