I've sort of cooled down after yesterday.
I didn't and don't blame the kid. I blame adults who, instead of trying to change a kid's outlook on issues, try to change external influences which she should not have even interfered with in the first place anyway.
Anyway, I went for a trashy show just now. The Hottie And The Nottie. It's funny at certain parts though as usual, some other people might think it was rubbish. Both of us enjoyed it though.
However, even when I was out, I couldn't help thinking of the Meet the teachers sessions next week. I've got to think of things to say for each child and yet, most pupils tend to be mid-ability ones and so, do not stand out. Naughty and obedient ones will of course be easy to talk to their parents about their attitudes.
I do not have a magic formula to cure any pupil of his/ her carelessness. Even though I'm not a parent, I do sympathize with parents on how exasperating it is to help a child tackle carelessness. It's not something that can be taught. All in all, it boils down to pupils themselves wanting to eliminate their mistakes due to carelessness.
A teacher can help a child do many things but not all things.
