Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....

For the 50th time...


Me:"Ernest sweetheart (Primary Four), listen carefully ok. Teacher Maureen is going to explain this for the last time. A rectangle has lengths and breadths. This horizontal line is the length. Length is longer."
Student: *nods*



Me:"So darling, this is breadth. It is..."
Student:"Shorter than length."
Me:"Good boy!"



Me:"So look at this rectangle now. The length for this rectangle is 60cm..."
Student: *nods*
Me:"So can you tell me what is the breadth of this rectangle?"
Student: *confidently* 13CM!

I NEARLY FAINTED. -_-
Do 1 month of area and perimeter liao, and i tried using many many different ways to explain, models, numbers, examples etc... He simply doesn't want to think! How to teach! How to teach!!

Primary Four already, still cannot multiply 68 by 28, I don't know hw to teach him man. His parents just pay me a sum of money, thinking that by seeing him twice a week I can produce miracle! He is not even helping himself.

I just signed up twitter! And I realised I grew thinner :(
