In his situation, Marcel needs to be very circumspect about his opinion. 

Congrats to the kids.

What about the other 99% of the students who also wrote the same examination?

Stella Maris used to be a private school and was very expensive.

This is not so now.  In the 1960's it was so as I stated. I had relatives attending that school. So don't be sarcastic.
