i went teaching the current p2 boy who is afraid and doesnt speak to teachers after having a horrible experience with his kindergarten teacher.
it doesnt matter if JY(the boy's name) dont speak to me,cos i got used to it.(used to teach him during hols)
he used to do his work slowly,this time,he is doing WAYYYYYYYY slower.
maybe im being impatient,but seriously i started to realise that the soft way dont work on him anymore.talk to him nicely,his mind will wander off.
usually a normal p2 student does at least a whole math practice paper,excluding problem sums,within an hour.
today,JY was SUPERBBBB.he did 1st question,which as 7parts,(eg. 1a,1b,1c,..1g),for 1hr 7min.
sorry to be so precise,but time passed EXTREMELY slow.
and so i managed the memorised all the questions and the aid diagram.
it's something like this:
seriously the answers can be obtained through 2times table.
p1 already must memorise 2,3,5,10 times tables,i tink.
anyways,i still cant believe he took so long.
even wen i give him the answer,he can write wrong lehhhhhhhhhhh.
or is it my teachin method wrong?
but i've already simplified it SO much that i gave many real life examples.
thats why i rather teach students in secondary level,at least,they have more logic than lower primaries.provided if i manage to enter into teaching career.. =X
yeah obviously i heeded mr chan's advice about being patient with kids,about sometimes kids just dont get it.
but seriously e kid dont even let me know which part of explanation he's confused about,how would i know wad he's thinkin?
i hope JY doesn have any attitude problem,or he will have a rough journey in gainin knowledge.
ah! that was morning tuition.i just had another tuition in the evening today,busy me.. ^^
this tuition wasnt THAT bad, there were onli 3 students,2 graduated p6 students and a p2 student.
quite sad to hear that they did quite badly for the psle,hmm,i guess this yr's papers are SOOOOO much tougher!
so siansss,makes me worried about my own results..
anyways,i've finally reach the destination i had always pray to reach wen i was muggin for my Os.
i hoped to smell the cold air in sengkang,slpin and freezing in my bed cos of e nov n dec season..just lik i always do wen i was p5,the yr i moved to sk to stay for good.
now i can smell the cold air,same old weird smell that somehow brings warmth to my heart.
btw,i've tried watchin Blood+, and i didnt like it.. it bores me,frankly. =X
