It's heartening to see an mass email from our reporting officer with a special mention of my name about her appreciation of my hard work after she's checked through our kids' files and Maths exercise book. Although my class didn't do well (with the level summary being flashed on screen during yesterday's meeting), I did feel better knowing that my hard work did not go unnoticed and that if I've done my best, my conscience's clear.
After this half year experience, I've come to realize that it all boils down to attitudes of children, rather than being born smart or anything. More important is the family background of each pupil. How supportive parents are... how parents shield their children... how parents can blame everyone and anyone except themselves and their own children...parents doing homework and corrections for their kids... All these will contribute to the children's attitudes towards learning at the end of the day. I really hope that such parents will eventually wakeup and come to their senses if not, they will be the ones who are causing their children's failure in the education system.
3 more weeks to go and it's sayonara to the little ones. Need to get them something as a gift :)
