teachers can sometimes be wrong too...


given that the syllabus is way too difficult and constantly upgrading itself even w/o knowing...

hmm.. How do we ensure that everything is on track then? Who else can we trust? If i'm paying good money for a teacher, i honestly expect her to do the job, and do it well! :x

when i do sci with my ds1... i understand why sci can be such a difficult subject!!! my god... who will ever want to know why we respire and how does fertilisation take place in a flower...?? i dun even think my kids will rmb them when they grow up...

and yes, teachers make mistakes - we all do! but I've heard of some who simply teach the wrong grammar.. this is an absolute no-no for an English teacher, right? haha.

no choice, asked the tutor to go... that was like a once-in-a-lifetime experience... this lady tutor from some tuition agency, agent said she taught in some branded tuition center... cannot rmb which one, mavis or mabel... so she is gd in compo and written paper...

she came with her friends waiting outside my hse, and asked to show her my dd's work... and then she used singlish, \"orh i taught before in xxx tuition center, for 1 month like that, many parents like my teaching way, my style.... blah blah blah..\"

thks ya... i will inform the agent about my decision... is what i last said to that lady!!
