TESTS and EXAMS

My 3 classes did terribly for their MATH tests. I FEEL SO RESPONSIBLE! But then again, they are the ones not putting in the effort, talk and talk and talk in class. And i always offer to stay back and help them with their work!

Anyway, A level results will be coming out soon. Thinking of it already makes me scared, much less receiving them! I was at the hall of BNSS when the students came back to get their results. Then i found out that there really isa DIFFERENCE btw your so-called elite and neighbourhood schools, well, at least for collecting results.

The atmostphere at BNSS was like dead. I remember when I was in cedar, collecting O level results was like a MOMENT to remember. The teachers were smiling and all excited. At BNSS, it felt so normal. For results analysis, in Cedar, they would highlight percentages for distinctions. At BNSS, they would highlight percentages for passes. It's super unfair to compare, but in comparing, I'm saying that there's such a difference in culture as well as expectations.

Anyway, I probably have to get a new job soon. The teacher I'm relieving is coming back!
