I happen to stumble upon my form class's blog today. Really pleasantly surprised to see that. Why? You see, I've used a different tactic with this people, different from the ones I used previously, and miraculously, the kids did more on their own than relied on me.
I am really happy because....
1. Many of them really worked harder for the EOY exams and managed to get themselves promoted without moderation from their subject teachers. (FYI, my class is very weak in Math and Science, only 2 passed their Sec. 2 math before promoting to Sec. 3.... brrrr......)
2. Many teachers are happy with most of them. My colleagues even make the effort to praise them in front of me.
3. They won 2nd prize in the Best class competition, losing to the Pure Science class, which is afterall made up of the elites. I had no part in this, there were several criterias in the judging and they managed somehow.
4. Many of them are growing up and making more sense in their thoughts and actions. I didn't have to roar much this year, thanks to them. I think I only roared once. Guess where? Sungei Buloh nature reserve, cos they couldn't stop talking and made so much noise. What an irony.
5. The kids are taking some initiative in their academic progress and school life. The class blog set up is also for HOMEWORK REMINDERS next year. oh my god.... so enthu.... heh heh
I feel that the most important ingredient in all this is ........
PIZZA.
I tell you, students are goons. hahahha =)
Anyway, along the blog which I stumbled upon, I found two of them lamenting that had they worked harder last year, they would not have repeated; and more importantly is that repeating Sec. 3 hurts badly and they learnt to cope and grow up with it. Why? cos their Sec. 4 friends are sitting for their O levels now! not tasty at all.....
I guess sometimes people grow up the hard way. Though they wasted one year, but the lesson learnt is invaluable and will help keep them on track in the future. I can't help but feel that they are meant to do greater things and everything happens for a reason.
I say no more spoon-feeding I say.
It's Pizza-feeding time!

戏如人生
人生 梦如路长
让那风霜风霜留脸上
红尘里 美梦有多少方向
找痴痴梦幻的心爱
路随人茫茫
人生是 梦的延长
梦里依稀依稀有泪光
何从何去 你我心中方向
风悠悠在梦中轻叹
路和人茫茫
人间路 快乐少年郎
在那崎岖崎岖中看阳光
红尘里 快乐有多少方向
一丝丝像梦的风雨
路随人茫茫
丝丝像梦的风雨
路随人茫茫
让那风霜风霜留脸上
红尘里 美梦有多少方向
找痴痴梦幻的心爱
路随人茫茫
人生是 梦的延长
梦里依稀依稀有泪光
何从何去 你我心中方向
风悠悠在梦中轻叹
路和人茫茫
人间路 快乐少年郎
在那崎岖崎岖中看阳光
红尘里 快乐有多少方向
一丝丝像梦的风雨
路随人茫茫
丝丝像梦的风雨
路随人茫茫
