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....

Argh

I HAD ENOUGH. 

Everytime I look at you, it simply drives me crazy and up the rooftop. I can't stand you 敷衍了事过日子!

Come on, u are just 8 years old. PRIMARY 2! Your job is to study smart and do it well. 

Not lying on your mattress to watch Doraemon on Sunday. Not complaining to ur mum that u have no time to do homework when the lousy school gives u ZERO homeowork everyday. Not peeping at the ans sheet to complete my homework or ask your sister to help u. 

Don't look at my facial expression to determine your answers. I'm not asking you to do algebra or differentiation. I'm asking you purely simple Maths questions. 

4 pencils cost $36. And one pencil cost how much? Hello, why does it take u 20 mins to tell me it's 36 divide by 4? 

AND U STILL CAN'T GET UR 4 TIME TABLE RIGHT after sooo long?

So each pencil costs $9. And what's the cost of 3 pencils? 

Hello! Isit so hard? I explain to u in English, I draw for u, I speak to u in chinese and u just refuse to learn! 

First attempt, u said 1 pencil $9. 2 pencil $10. 3 pencils $11. Who the hell taught u this!! 

Then second attempt u said, 3 + 9 = 12. Omfg, can u just kill me please. 

Then you told me u board ur school bus at 11.30am and reach school at 12pm. So I ask u how long u took. 

And u told me 10hours!!!

I seriously can't explain and figure out where the hell that 10hours came from. If u say 30hour, I can correct u to 30minutes. But how did u even get 10hours!!!

Your mum keep asking me not to give u too much homework cuz u are busy and tire and has no time to do. Hello, u have no CCA and u are busy watching tv man!

I give up. Every Sunday morning I drea going for ur lessons. And when I see u, my blood pressure shoot all the way up. 

Being slow is never an issue to me. I can have all the patience in the world to teach u step by step, if you ever gona learn. 

You are not slow. You just don't want to learn and want to smoke things through! 

So don't use "slow" as an excuse to lower ur intelligence. U just choose to be lousy and so be it

Continue to be lousy. Since u refuse to help urself, how am I suppose to help u? 

I'm not here to make students hate Maths further. Your improvements maybe slow but my aim is to make u love and willing to learn the subject. If you shut me off right from the beginning, everything will still be the same. Please don't assume that a tutor who comes to guide u 2hrs/week can produce miracles. It doesn't work this way. Don't u understand that it takes 2hands to clap?

7years of teaching. Today is probably the one and only day that I nearly break down in front of the kid. I have already surpass the angry and murderous stage. Every moment spent with her is so awful that it just pulls my nerves. 

What are the Singaporean kids becoming to? Is our education system really getting so difficult that kids cannot manage?  

I really don't think so. 

Every year when new students come to me, their behavior and way of thinking changes. Some are so extreme that I feel like confronting the parents for the lousy upbringing.  

浑水摸鱼 浑水摸鱼 浑水摸鱼

气死我了!

I think I communicate better with the upper secondary student. Really.
