adviced response from leslie:
travis: "teacher! teacher! if i think my work is ugly can i throw away again?"
teacher: "throw lo! throw lo! you throw how many, u get zero how many." (grin widely)
truely a culture shock la. never heard such an absurd excuse in my life. i was quite amused. it's super weird coming from a JC where students are like reasonable well behaved duin lessons and comin to teach in such a school where i can't even hear myself teaching sometimes.
today i had 3 sec 1 classes. the sec 1s are still little cuties. though i can already see the developing devils here and there, especially from the normal acad classes. so i repeated the same lesson 3 times over and the same instructions to individuals and small groups at least 50 times today. my voice is seriously dying, even the students could tell. and of course, being developing devils, they found no qualms commenting bou it openly to me. smack ur ass lor. have some respect.
got asked again how old i was. was tempted to tell them but i shrugged it off. cannot risk losing any more respect.
STRONG TEMPTATION TO QUIT
I CAN RESIST ANYTHING
