On my way to school, I noticed a woman walking in front of me. She should be at least in her late 60s. She's wearing a Raffles JC T-shirt. :D It was a rather funny sight. She was walking with a stick or something. If she's part of the alumni, she should be from the first batch of RJ students haha...

It was yet another round of tuition today. This time with the pri.6 pupils. No joke I tell you. In fact, this experience has turned me off from pri. 6 pupils. I don't think I ever want to teach pri. 6 pupils if given a choice. IN FACT, I will also think twice before taking them for tuition again although the money's good. This is the first time I've come across a roomful of pupils whereby the girls behaved WORST than the boys. Much worst. Kind of b***hy I would say. Rude too. Total disregard for authority. I don't even remember pupils from my time being like this. Ok, maybe the naughty classes did behave this way just that I didn't know. The girls would actually show you their displeasure if you were to tell them off. Even bang their pens/ pencils against the table when I asked a girl to spit out the sweet she was eating. Worst thing was she actually popped another sweet when I was not looking and for the 2nd time, I had to get her to spit out again.

The boys were more aware of the noise they were making and a couple would even ask their friends to lower their volume (thank goodness). 2 hours with them was all that I could take. I think I will have a nervous breakdown if I were to face them day in and out.

I nearly wanted to ask the class to "shut their traps". Managed to hold my tongue.

Barely.
