HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEIYI AND HUIMIN!
(they so cool loh!! same birthday, same year, same hospital!)


today went to sakae sushi @ westmall to celebrate ahlian and huimin's birthday! =D

nothing much loh. just eat separately since it is more convenient to take food at the conveyor belt.



went to tution today.

was pretty sad because for monday's class.. i always have lots of expectations on them. they can perform de loh! its just that they too lazy to do work.

then today one of my students quit already. initially i have 3 students, now i only have 2!!

never mind.

i was damn pissed because they ownself complain to their parents say how come im still stuck at money. (and they said they want to quit if things go on like this<- parents say de) so i asked them have your teacher taught volume, mass and length?

one said yes. one said NO.

so you tell me how to teach?!?!!!

and their CA its like 2 weeks later lah! havent teach you know!! (seriously, what is the teacher doing?!)

never mind, its ok.

so their only topic was fraction.

went out to photocopy fraction worksheets. met a teacher outside and counsulted her. she said i can just go on to teach mah. then i was like: yeah. but you dont know my class. they also dont want me to teach. cause they cant be bothered about topics they have not taught.

then she told me, it will just be tougher on myself since the topic has not introduced to them.

ok loh. so i thought of giving a try.

went on to finish the money worksheet. and continue with the fraction worksheet.

the student throw tandrum because he said he dont know how to do. never think, HOW TO DO?!



allow me to explain. i work this way: i always believe that MATHS is an easy topic (at least for a primary school kid.) AND, i believe that to score well in maths, you just have to practice, practice and practice. you dont expect yourself to immediately see the outcome right after you put in SMALL effort.

its the same meaning as you dont shit right after you eat right? you need digestion mah!!

sometimes, i just feel that my students all can do it one. like i got a student on sunday class, even though she is slow and always daydreaming, but she can do her work. she can get correct for most questions eh!!

so i feel that, not they poor in maths loh. its just that they dont bother to put in effort to score well in maths.

AND the most importantly thing is, CANNOT GIVE UP EASILY!!



so back to the fraction worksheet.

as i was saying, he threw tandrum cause he dont want to do the worksheet. and cause he only taught ABIT.

ok, so here he comes right next to my table.. asking me how to do. im fine with students asking me, you know.

so i taught him but he refuse to listen. and after that walk away to sit on the floor for the last 10minutes of the lesson.

at that point of time, i gave up on him. SORRY to said that. but i gave up.......... temporarily.

as in, if he would come back to finish the worksheet, i dont mind helping him.

but he cannot just gave up and sat right at the back!

so i divert my attention to the other student, who is more willing to learn (even though she complain to her mum also. --")



on the way back on the bus, i thought through alot.

i tried to think of how my tutor teach me during tution last time and, i realised.. i cannot remember anything!!

then i realised: i where got take maths tution one!! (also cause my maths damn good. LOL! last time primary maths damn easy loh!)

so i tried thinking through english tution. the teacher gave us work to do. go back do already. next week bring back marked and go through. give spelling and dictation. o.o erm. thats all?

i then tried to thought of ways i could teach the students.

(the centre damn pathetic loh. i damn scared my class would end lah. like i know this tutor on sunday class.. his lesson just DISAPPEARED leh!! all the students just quit. o.o)

of course i scared my class end lah (then my income how?! =/ )

THEN. i thought of my last time secondary school maths teacher. mr seow!

he damn nice de loh! he teach everybody understand. and not only that.. he very encouraging even though he very old le. then somemore, that time during class test, we sat two by two mah. then he said no need to split: you want to copy, also copy the correct answers. later your partner got the wrong answers you also copy. and best, you want to copy, come over here i give you the answers sheet.

at that point, nobody actually copied lah. or maybe have but just like PEEP loh. then nobody actually went to copy answers from him. LOL.

then remembered mrs lim.

last time we DAMN dont like her. she very irritating de loh. if the whiteboard not clean, she will just sit there and stare. waiting for the whiteboard to clean. half an hour can go through one question only. somemore she is our emaths and amaths teacher eh! imagine how much we have to see her!

we even hate her till our class wrote petition loh!! and somemore she hod de leh!

then the principal came to our class to talk to us. LOL. our class like damn rebellious.

after that we started to like her. cause she actually go through the main point. and the stuffs she wrote can helped to do alot of questions. as in the applications is the same.

then we start calling her LAO KOK KOK. HAHAHHAHAHA. because her initials are L.K.K.. we even call her laoma lah. cause she very motherly-naggy. HAHA.



after so much, i really dont know how to handle them.

NOISY lah. DONT PUT IN EFFOR lah.

no matter how much i want to help. if your student dont put in effort, WHAT'S THE POINT?

HELP AH~~!!!!

kindly give me tips on how to help them loh. i wanna pull my hair already. =(
