1F LESSON TODAY

another day in school ends. i had a lesson with 1F today.
When i revised the basics for solving equations, i realised that some students are still very weak in this area. i suspect that they are weak in other areas as well too..
this is a wake up call before your midyear examinations. do not wait till its too late, your midyear will contribute to your end of year result. try to score now so that at the end of the year, you will not feel the huge pressure of trying to meet the grade.
When i offered to give extra remedial to these students, i was disappointed at some students, yet at the same time i felt happy for some students.
Disappointed because all these weaker students care about is going home and playing games, chatting on msn, facebooking and doing other things that should not be their priority now. to these students, all i say is that if you really dont want to do well, you want to remain at the bottom, no one can help you.
i DO NOT have a good time myself asking students to stay back for detention or give extra lessons. for every hour i spend with my students in school, there are alot of things that i want to do but cant do.

dear students, i really hope that you guys will buck up and do your best for your midyear examinations. if you know that all along that you have been copying your friends work just to pass up a perfect homework to avoid doing your corrections, please seek help. the perfect answer will not be given to you in ur examinations. take the initiative to find me for help.

On the other hand, there are some students who are displaying good learning attitude which i am very proud of. ( in no order of merit)
1: Hakim - he tore up the piece of work his friend did for him because he knew that he had to do his own work to improve

2. Yue Zhen & Mavies & Yvonne & Angel : these girls have been coming for my extra lessons even though they are not required to.

3. My intensive remedial students : marcus daohui and jiajie. you three have been doing well, esp jiajie. i feel happy for you that you can even teach daohui how to do some angles questions. please keep it up (:

4. There are of course many enthusiastic students that never fail to drive me on even if there are some students who sometimes irritate me when i am teaching.
Im sorry if your name is not specifically mentioned, but thank you (: greatly appreciate your effort in class.

miss cindy has commented to me that for this past week, i have been more angry and fiery. i am sorry that i did not control my temper well. If the class co-operates, it will be much better for me and you.
so i hope from this, you guys can also learn that we are all humans and we make mistakes, even teachers. But as long as we know how to reflect and change, tomorrow is always a better day, for ourselves and the people around us.

i look forward to seeing 1E tmr. during this weekend 1F, please revise hard for your MYE. let me be proud of the whole class, and show everyone WE CAN DO IT (:
