Every week i get pissed off real bad two times 1.5 hours each.
Today I asked her to complete an essay ( i charged fishy full batt so I could watch it til the lesson ends ) and much to my dismay she refused flatly. I think i exploded. Then after 15 minutes of demanding that she does it this was what she submitted for "An unlucky day". I shall post her essay for amusement + humiliation + need to vent.
One sunny sunday, me and my friend decided to go swim. When we reach the swimming pool, they started to jump into the pool. Suddenly I heard my friend scream. I quickly swim to there and help her up. I ask her what happen. She told me someone pushed her and don't give her chance to stand up, so she shout for help loh! After a while, we go to the food stall and eat, rest, and set for an hours. Then we decided to go back home. When we go back my friend say such an unlucky day. Next time don't come and swim leh.
To think i taught her that in a recount essay past tense should be used. And that it should me "My friend and I" instead of "Me and my friend", "sat" instead of "set". And i thought she went with one friend, so why would "they started to jump into the pool". Swam to there? THERE WHERE? And it doesn't sound like an unlucky day, or does it? Maybe it is just that my definition of an unlucky day is really extreme because my life is never short of unlucky days. Even if it does sound like an unlucky day, was it one for her friend or her?
Ignoring the other mistakes, I pointed to the "loh" and the "leh" and I asked her if she was trying to be funny or to retain. She shrugged.
Stabs self.
Stabs self.
Stabs self.
If I had a lighter I would burn the essay which I doubt would even make it to the Normal Tech stream in PSLE. I think i might just quit when school starts in April. I wouldn't want to put any effort into teaching someone who doesn't put in any effort herself.
And i think i have not mentioned what a shithole her room is. It was messy. There are random things placed everywhere, thermometer, sweet wrapper, hairclip, MRT standard ticket (?) and there were spiders. Eek. There was a jar of something rotting which I had tried to ignore for the past 4 lessons. It was stuffy, there is no fan nor air con and she doesn't push out the freaking windows. AND THERE IS NOT A SINGLE LAMP/LIGHT OH MY GOD. Little wonder why she doesn't see the light.
Plus she also slept while I explained how grammar worked. I feel so respected..
11 more lessons.
I am going back to the shithole tomorrow..
