The tuition kid
Life's good, except for some random event that upset me, but not enough to kill me. *flexes muscles*
I've been staring at the previous sentence for like, 15 minutes. Oh mannnn, I've lost my crappability (crapping ability)?
*recovers*
Ok, during my last tuition session with my P6 girl, I flared up, a little. I hate to show my temper to kids because when I was a student, I HATED teachers who talked loud loud and slammed stuff around. So scary and insulting.
I really don't like the idea of my students hating me. I want to be their friend instead. I want them to work hard and do their homework because they don't want to upset Hanxiang jiejie, not because they are afraid of Hanxiang jiejie.
But I tell you, kids nowadays don't deserve kindness. They just climb onto your head and run and hop around on it like you owe it to them.
HARLO!? MY HEAD IS NOT A THEME PARK.
I'll tell you what she did.
She didn't complete the piece of work I gave her. That's fine.
She didn't complete it again after I gave her an extension. That's not very unfine too.
So I decided to just keep a straight face throughout the session and demand her to complete some work in class.
Halfway throughout the paper, she said she wanted to do something else.
Fine, I taught her what she wanted to know and asked her to return to the assigned piece of work.
Then she complained that she was bored doing that piece of work, and when I told her that she HAS TO complete it, she gave me anyhow answers.
From the of the session till this point of time, I didn't raise my voice. I just chose not to joke like usual and kept asking her to keep quiet and do her work whenever she wanted to tell me nonsense. SEE! She didn't even sense that I was unhappy.
I decided I needed to talk some sense into her when she started giving me anyhow answers. She's murdering herself and her mother didn't pay me to see her daughter murder herself.
So I raised my voice a bit. I regretted not being angrier, because I must have sounded like I was kidding.
She dared to talk back. SHE DARED TO TALK BACK!
I ended the session by telling her to go reflect on what she did and said.
I don't remember myself being like that when I was a student. Why the bad karma? I don't understand.
When I told my parents about it, my father said I must have forfeited a student's supposed respect for a teacher because I am too much of a kid myself when I'm teaching.
I told you my father condemns me. Have I said this before? Ok, then I'm telling you now. He condemns me.
Sometimes I think maybe he's right. But I never admit it when he points out my faults.
Anyway, I've decided not to give up and continue haunting my tuition kid until she improves. I've decided to change tactics. I WILL BE FIERCE FROM NOW ON. No more nonsense. See if it works!
Been enjoying the simple pleasures in life, like having lunch with the ladies (Grandma, Mummy, Ah Yi, Hanxu), disturbing my siblings and the four of us eating a Cornetto at the same time.
Juefun is such a sweety pie. He suddenly grabbed my hand today when I was watching TV. I was super touched that he still treats me as a sister although I keep irritating him. His weakest link is the computer, like all other boys. Damn cliche. I must teach him some other things to do before he falls in love with the computer and forgets his ultimate responsibility in the world as a boy is to chase girls. My latest hobby is to pounce on him when he's least expecting it and hug him still he shouts for help. I will only let go and act like nothing happened when my father comes by and asks what just happened. Juefun will then be scolded for shouting without a reason. *evil grin*
I super love my family.
And I've decided to talk less rubbish.
WAIT! Ying and me went KTV-ing with Alastair and his friend after Alastair's exams. I can just say the exams was the equal of a mental asylum. Despite this, instead of looking like he was released from the place, Mr Alastair looked more like he escaped from it. Once a Dean's-lister, always a Dean's-lister. He will definitely miss studying, in my humble opinion.
Ok, byebye!
