心得

好久没有用华文打字了,是应该在开学之前熟悉熟悉一下。
想分享一下这几天的一些心得,或者说是感想。

前几天补习的时候,学生突然静下来,然后对我说:“老师,I feel like telling my mum that I want to be exempted from Chinese。”
最初我是很震惊,接着我自然就问:“为什么呢?”
他说:“我觉得我不能cope,而且我班上有两个男同学也是被exempted,他们上课的时候可以这样(跷起脚,用双手捂着后脑勺)。”
我又不知道该说什么。
然后我说:“就因为这样吗?上华文课的时候他们可以在课室后面享受,你就想学他们?就因为这样你想要放弃你的母语?”
不知道是不是我的语气太重,还说得太深奥,他静了下来。
我继续说:“现在,有很多很多的新加坡孩子虽然是华人,但是基本的华文都讲不好。有些父母觉得华文不重要,就让他们放弃。可能还有很多人还不知道我们的母语的重要性。现在中国崛起,很多人想要打入中国市场,却因为不懂得讲华语而吃亏,然后才来学讲学写华文华语。如果你现在就放弃的话,我想你肯定会后悔。如果你妈妈也觉得华文没有用的话,她为什么要请我来帮你补习?”
学生仍然没有回答。他一直看着我,样子很认真。我不清楚他是在思考我刚说的一番话,还是他完全不理解我的意思。
最后我叫他好好想想,接着继续上课。

昨天,到另一个学生的家补习。因为要开学了,这个学生的家又离我家太远,所以决定不补了,昨天是最后一堂课。这个学生非常调皮,上课的时候总是喜欢走来走去,静不下来。跟他说话,他也是“一只耳朵进,另一只耳朵出”。有时候我失去耐心,就会稍微大声地叫他认真听课。我想,学生大概都不喜欢会骂人的老师。但是,昨天这个学生竟然还送我一盒巧克力。我离开的时候,他还问我:“老师,我Primary Five的时候你会不会回来教我?”

因为这两个学生,我现在更加清楚,教书这行并不是我要的饭碗。

  1. 与我心有戚戚焉!两年前我的中二生因为不喜欢华文,不肯来上第二堂课,最后被妈妈逼得没办法,就带着黑脸来上课...然后我靠诉他很多道理,就好像你对你的学生所说的那些话一样,最后他竟然每堂课都来,我还一直教他到上个月... 我相信你的学生会听懂你的话,不会放弃华文的。非常同意,教华文真的不容易啊,特别是现在学生的水准,惨不忍睹啊!

I'll never understand.

Some people, you try to break them before you build them. Some people, you are only remembered by them when they need your help. Some people, you spend time trying to change them only to realise you were never someone who could impact their lives. Some people, they hurt you so much but you know, they are just not worth it. So, don't bother. ASPIRE 2010 was a screwed yet another learning experience for me this time. I'd really like to thank my fellow peers for going through shit with me. And thank goodness that I believe in miracles. You never know what happens until the last minute, really. I never felt so shagged, and devastated about people.

All the small things.

So blonde Neo came with a packet of sushi and my chrysanthemum tea and Mr. Bean's pancakes. We continued to gorge ourselves with cones (actually just 2) of Cornetto which I bought to reward myself after a long time of not having eaten ice cream. We studied and also watched The Family Court. I really feel sad for AhWU that everyones hates his Leshan role but I guess he's right that actors and actresses like to see audiences' reactions towards their acting. What a breakthrough for him! Had supper with Shirl and Eh Chris! at somewhere nearby. Continued to study with Angie and we (or rather I) had a bad night because she was coughing quite badly. Blonde Neo I tell you, you better start drinking bottles of water when you get home today. NO MORE CHIPS!!! I'm watching you.... So anyway, in the morning we had Mac breakfast and Angie FINALLY invited me to her house wheeeeeeeee. Happening hor? Meeting the climates (Auntie Rainbow, Sunshine boy and Rain) later to celebrate mid-aut...
