hurhur. anyone haz info on what buses will be affected what time when etc during the f1 thingy...?

Fatum SG

well, most of the tutors I had were around my age too ..... so it was always first names for me.

but I guess some of the boys just ORD'ed .... so they go around sir-ing everyone ....

fudgester SG

Well, I did tell them to just call me by my name in my first lesson.

I still find it weird that the fella called me 'tutor'. It's just like how you do not address a professor who's teaching you as 'lecturer'. You call him 'Prof Tan', for instance, or 'Sir', if you forget his name.

But I guess I should've gone a little easy on the kid.

But he still needs to be berated for trying to make a 10 am appointment at 12 midnight the previous night.

Dollars to donuts say that he's waiting outside my office now, wondering where the heck I am.

well, if he is waiting, then serves him right...

if he thinks you can be contactable by email at all times, then he's better be contactable by email at all times...

that being said, i can be contactable by my gmail at all times because of my Android phone which asked me for my gmail.. and actually buzzes me when i get an email through there

It's cool on the name parts...

I have germans worshipping me (that's wat my boss always say)

The last minute appointment is a lesson he really should learn.

fudgester SG

Well, I've had worse.

Once another student made an appointment to see me. I actually wanted to head down to the island to do some minor experiments, but I figured that could wait for another day, considering that their exams were in two days' time.

So I waited in my office.... and waited.... and waited. The student never showed up.

She finally emailed me later that night. She said that she had been in school, but had a stomachache and decided to go home.

When I saw her again the next day, I berated her very badly.

At the very least, since she was already in school, she could have just ran to my office to tell me that she was going home, wrote a short email in a computer lab, or asked a friend to tell me that she wasn't seeing me. I wasted half a day because of that one student.

in some of photography outings, some come late and never had the courtesy to apologise ...

and some even ask why the group never wait for her when she turned up late.. ie 40mins after the appointed meeting time..!!

there is one turn up at the wrong place (wrong mrt exit) and waited. we pm her our ph number and she refused to give us hers. We waited for 30mins and left with the rest of the group. 1 hour late, when we receive a call, she was upset why we did not search for her.. HELLO, MRT many exit hor and our group is 30 pple, why would we all search one dumbo who kept her silence... siao..!!

talking about idiotic pple -.-"

sore throat... but the pineapple tarts are yummy...

oh oh.. something came up when sis's friends visited on saturday evening...

it's about primary schools....

something very disturbing is happening in schools...

teaching is now outsourced??

her children are now told that they have to pay $120 per subject per month for some vendor to come and teach them their lessons during school hours... the teachers of the class sit behind the class and supervise everything... if the children don't want to pay the $120 per subject, they are to "stay at home"

the cost is in addition to the actual school fees

the actual teachers only do the "remedial classes" and that is only 3 weeks (or maybe days) before exams...

for those who think this is a private school, it is not.. it's a neighbourhood school...

then her children's form teacher keeps being "on MC" almost every Monday and Friday... she's a "parent volunteer" so she gets roped in to become some kind of free "relief teacher" to look after the children.. especially when there is swimming PE...

the mom subsequently got "blacklisted" as a volunteer when she complained about this as she said that a teacher has to be present during the swimming PE in case there are any accidents and children get hurt..

also, seems like the school staff is threatening the students not to report stuff.. heck! the school staff is also threatening her not to report or complain about things in the school too...

but what shocked me was the "outsourcing" of teaching... WTF???
