Reflections

Recently I have been doing a lot of thinking on how my 2 classes have improved or deteriorated so far.

I am indeed very disappointed to observe that some of my students from one class seem to have slackened in their attitude towards English. I am not too sure why it has become so but it has certainly set me thinking on how things turned out that way. I am drifting away from them and it is not something I like. I know that some of them do not like my lessons anymore but I am not sad entirely because of that. I am sad because they do not see that I scold them because they have not done the homework that I have given them and that is why I have to scold them! It is very frustrating to know that they have so much potential but yet they are blinded by their complacency and are not doing all that they can to do well. It is sadder that they do not understand that it is because I love them that I have to be stricter with them so that they can maximise their full potential.

On the other hand, my other class has made vast improvements. As the class administrator, I spend a lot more time with them. I used to dread it when I was due for their class but now I am enjoying every minute of it because I need not shout like how I used to anymore. Though I still shout every lesson because they cannot keep quiet still, the shouting has lessened. In fact, I am very proud of them now because a lot of them submit work on time now.

I am deeply saddened by my observations because I am starting to feel that my kindness has been taken for granted. I trust all of you and still do. Please understand that Mrs Teo has nothing but your interests at heart.

You can make a difference in your grades if you want to!
