It would appear that, revision notwithstanding, our youngest has obtained her Maturité Fédérale Suisse (https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/fr/examen-suisse-de-maturite)
Surprisingly to her, but not me her highest mark was in maths. We may rethink the illustration path she was about to embark on.
@spraoi Congratulations!
And amazingly she's depressed about it, even though this is basically a licence to attend EPFL or UNIL or whatever.
She thinks she could have done better in both maths and arts but for me all I can think of is that if I had got into a school at the level of EPFL I would have been jumping up and down and screaming with joy.
I didn't try, but there you go with the hick experience of low expectations.
@spraoi remind her that test results aren't a fixed evaluation of her intrinsic worth. There's a lot of random variation -- the question order, the temperature in the room, what she ate that morning. And there's always an opportunity to improve those scores by studying at university!
