Life

1EA: Gave them a mock test and more than half of the class aced it. It was a pleasure to see the ‘fruit of my labour’ as I was the one who taught them these concepts. One girl came to me and said “teacher, I think I like Math a lot now” and that meant a lot to me. Even though it was not a drastic change because she was a good girl all along, I felt that my time in this school has made a difference, which is awesome to say the least.

3EA: Revised some key concepts of the dynamics and I’m not very sure if they absorbed well.. The difficult part is that I cannot collect their worksheet back to check because they’d need it to revise for their common test. The class seems to be more attentive in their new seating arrangement, a contrast to 1EA. That’s awesome because Keisha’s paying attention :D I’ll be mindful to not release the classes so late in the future. Sorry about that :/
I'm quite worried for a few key characters in class.
MeiLin, SiYu
and ChuJun doesn't seem to be paying attention during my class but when I talk to them, they say that they do. It's hard for me because I want to trust them but it really appears to be that they are not listening :( maybe I'll make them carry placards to say that they're paying attention or smth.
Shereen and Agil have always been weaker in their studies and the thing is that they enjoy ahem. socializing. and often get their priorities mixed up. In the new arrangement, they're seperated and hence talk slightly less but I'm worried because they haven't absorbed much from my previous lessons :(
LingRui is perpetually sleeping, I don't really know what I can do for him...
Willem keeps missing classes and when he's in class, he's not 100% attentive as well. very very worried for him.
Karyn seems to be uninterested in the subject, but maybe it's just me :(

WeiTing nicely texted me some feedback on my lesson and I wish that everyone would do the same. I'd really appreciate it and it'd help a lot in my planning of the lessons. It's beneficial to both parties if you think about it..




Okay yes, so Common Test, boomz. I have only 1 thing to say: please be cautious of your time management. Most papers are only half an hour and you're required to do at least 10 sums I think. Segment and manage your time well. Skip if you can't do a question after 5 min, don't be stubborn.

Study hard! Till later ~
