I started my first day of work at Bedok North Secondary as a Math teacher. I'm teaching Upper sec, sec 3 E and A math and sec 4 NA E math. THe kids are full of comeback words, some swear words, er, quite a lot of lazy people and NOISY. It's just amazing how noisy they are. And they're totally taking advantage of my age, which is 19 this year.
Boy 1:
Boy: Cher, [what a word!] you look very young leh.
Me: Yeah, i'm gonna be 19 this year.
Boy: Eh, we friend friend ok? cos we so close in age, i respect you, you respect me. so you can't scold me.
Me: er, ok?
Class 3E, 4E:
Boy 1: eh chio bu.
me: don't have to greet, sit down.
Boy 2: can we have your number?
So in my introduction, i did say that I lived nearby..
Boy 3: we walk you home ok?
Me: don't need la.
The girls are nicer, quieter. Well i guess, it'd be natural to be like that when rowdy boys are around, and they're so many of them. SOme of the girls talked to me after school, asked me qns abt my previous schools and stuff. But those girls, who are quiet as well, react in a different way, they are more rebellious inwardly. I ask them to do some math qn, they DILLY DALLY like crazy.
Well, I so need all of GOd's strength.
