Parent creates a stir on internet with petition for her sonVietNamNet Bridge - “I write this letter to ask you, the Ministry of Education and Training, and the school, to allow my son to become a ‘bad student’ this academic year,” a letter posted on a personal Facebook reads. Vietnamese students are overloaded with school work and try to obtain high achievements to please their parents. Therefore, I often compare him with the sons of Sau, the neighbor, and Ba, the leader of my residential quarter. "If my son got 8 marks for his school work, I would blame him and ask him to say why he could not get 10 marks like Sau’s son could. He cannot run fast to get good marks for physical exercises.
