Its pouring outside... been like this for the past few days... weekend's coming to an end soon... i'm actually quite happy... coz my weekends are always used up for tuition... some students are seriously getting on my nerves.. i'm not sure if its got to do with my patience level dropping or its the students that i teach recently all very restless and basically i can't see them putting in any effort at all... I've got this P3 girl whom i just started teaching in Dec 2008... she's basically getting worst each lesson i go... simply horrendous! I mean i gives her homework to be done.. and when i arrive for tuition i see her jumping and skipping around.. basically doing eveything else besides doing my homework.. i said that because the very first thing she tells me is that she forgot to do my homework?! Hello! i mean its only writing vocabulary words in the exercise book... and if she realises that she have forgotten to do it.. she can always do it before i arrive for lesson right? how long is it going to take to write a page of vocabulary words??!!! Arghhh... Then comes her maths... problem sums.. models.. is that really that difficult to comprehend? She can't even do questions that my Primary 1 students could understand and solve?!!!!!
" Siti saves $2651.
Julia saves $2150 more than Siti.
How much do they save altogether? "
Omg?! questions like this.. she can even draw the model wrongly for me leh?!... its really like the first time i'm so pissed off with a student.... Last time i use to think... not a single teacher will truly hate his/her student.. i change my mind completely now....! Arghh..... He english is bad her maths is bad everything is bad!!! How can one not understand a simple gramma cloze with just like 20 words in it? Its a gramma cloze mind u ... not a vocab cloze... even if u don't know what to put into the blanks.. at least should be able to understand what the passage is talking about ba? Primary 3 already leh... i'm talking about a primary 1 kid.... I've taught a K2 kid going primary 1... followed him till his P2 now... he started from a kid that can't speak understandable english to a kid that is able to commumicate to u in english!! Yes.. i admit that its not all my hard work or what.. but going to school mixing with other students will definitly enable any student to do that right? he's alot better than her seriously..I'm considering stopping tuition with her if her Mid Year exam results is real bad... can't take it anymore!!! Each lesson before i reach her place.. i'll tell myself today i'm not going to scold her.. i'm going to talk to her nicely and not lose a least bit of my temper.. but alot of times i failed to do so........... seriously feel like banging my head on the wall sometimes..........
