Although I ve got so much to mark and grade, I have decided to put aside a little time everyday to blog about you kids so that you know that you did make an impact in whatever you do.

Just finished lessons, extra lessons in fact, with 3 classes. It was very heartening when you guys kept so quiet and copied down whatever I was writing on the board or on the ppt, this was a silent acknowledgement of my efforts.

However something quite embarassing happened today, I asked 2 Joy about who had higher mt to see if I really needed to have my test at a later timing, and Gan Qi raised up his hand. Because when he did that, he was laughing and joking with Cheng How, I thought they were just lying to make up the numbers! Little did I know that he really did take higher mt, and he was so offended (think he even told Cheng How, oh she's such a b*tch)! Felt a little embarassed but I had to maintain my composure to ensure my lesson runs smoothly after that. Haha. But yeah you know I was mistaken and you guys know I didn't mean it yes?

Then after that 2 Faith was so eager to come for remedial, when I told them my rules for remedial, they were super quiet for once. For once my lessons could continue with me knowing that everyone was absorbing. (Because in a 40ppl class setting I know that there would always be at least 1 or 2 people that I have lost along the way) It really felt good when I know what I was doing would be seeds sown in them.

I really hope I havent allowed anyone to be left behind when everyone is progressing forward in my lessons, I know this because it is very easy to see who is not paying attention and who isn't. It is only whether I want to stop the lesson for the irritants. My big worry now is Rashvin, I hope he listened to what I ve told him.

Just had my exam format briefing lessons with 2 JY and 2PC. Yes no doubt I could finish all the exam format with chapter 8 in one lesson with 2JY but 2PC I went very much slower so that they could absorb. Gonna take over a relief later for 2PC to really finish up with them what they are lagging behind for. Was quite disappointed when they protested quite strongly against me taking over their free period. But when they know I had stuff to finish and they should not irritate me, they were okay with me taking over the lesson!

Back to 2 Joy, come to think about it, 2 Joy is a very self motivated class even though it is quite irritating for me to organise a last minute stay back after school to finish up my syllabus. Really hope all of them will absorb and do very well! :)

I was also pleasantly surprised when the four guys from 2PC, Dom, Ben, Brendon and Hanafi came to me and asked me to help them personally on Saturday. I could not understand why they were so into coming back to school, but I could see they were serious about it and wanted help. (Dom says because he doesnt want to kena SUSOP anymore haha!) So even though I wanted my beauty sleep and my saturday, I agreed to give them a few hours in the morning for them to consolidate all their history knowledge. What a good avenue for me to talk to them and bring them onto the right path (:


Oh so when I thought I could sleep in when GB stepped down. Looks like I have to sacrifice small me for a big me!
