they said they had no high hopes for him. all they wanted from him is to see a pass grade. the numeric figure is of no importance. but did they ever realise, that they, him and I have to work as a team. It doesnt mean that you have the money and you request that i come by a few more times 2 or 3 weeks before the final exams, and things would fall beautifully into place. Does it occur to them that information and learning accumulated of the past one year cannot be digested in 2 or 3 weeks, in a 1.5hourly session?

Did you really do your part as his parents? each time you request for extra tuition, you also conveniently added that your are going out by 12pm. and that is to say i have to start tuition by 10am? 10 am sounds reasonable, since i have tuition on other days that start at 9am. but the thing is, did you enhance his learning? after a 1.5hr of tuition, its a whole day of play. then wats the point? each time i go over, i see no shadows of yours but i hear your voice talking over the phone. not once, not twice. of cos i have no right to interfere what you want to do. but if you are that worried about his ever falling grades, you would do something. afterall, actions speak louder than words, dun they?

no wonder people say making babies is easy but bringing them up is difficult. i am only a home tutor. i am not god. i cant produce miracles if i work alone. and i am tired of talking to a pri 5 boy whose knowledge is as good as a pri2. because apparently, i am repeating the same thing over and over again each lesson. i think he needs a tape recorder.

i was catching some forty winks on the way to school when i received x.h's sms. she said that the maths is very difficult. and x.s left 7marks out from the paper too. ok, so lets take that the maths is hard. ok? i believed they tried their best. i learnt the art of shooting daggers through my smile. how can someone compare in such a way? the guidance was badmouthing my student in front of him. not that he doesnt have any paper tml. i dread going over nowadays. its becoming my third hang out place? i am really very tired. i admit i am lazy and at times, i tend to postpone my tuition but lets be slightly objective. i dunno how long more i can take her preaching. every lesson, she will come in and talk to me. tell me what happened to student A today and what caused her so angry. In the evening when i popped over again, she would tell me about student B. for goddness sake, i feel like i am back to sec sch listening to the repeated principal's speech. there is no use crying over spilled milk right? and comon, this is maths. its very naturally if the student feels that he couldnt finish it ALL on time. and oh, i am beginning to dislike tat girl. stop carrying tales about people la.
