Finally, I completed all my marking and keying in of marks last Friday afternoon, just before 2pm. It was such a huge relief, like a big burden was removed from my shoulders. I was so tensed in the staff room marking my remaining class test papers that even my surrounding colleagues could feel the immense (great) stress. Anyway, thank you God for giving me the strength and perseverance to accomplish all my work! Thank you, Ms Jow, for tolerating my stern face and sending me caring sms, reminding me to take care of myself. I really appreciate it!
Today, all teachers attended the year-end promotion meeting to discuss who should be retained, laterally transferred or advanced. Of course, I won't write about the details here. This year, there is one pupil retained at 3N in my class. I hope he won't sink into despair forever but instead take this lesson as a wake-up call, realign his priorities in his teenage life and reduce or if possible totally eliminate all negative 'commitments' outside school. Don't do things to destroy your youth and your future!
Overall, I'm heartened that there are quite a number of pupils in my class who really make miraculous improvement in their performance, especially for Mathematics. Their marks for all subjects in this semester show a total increase of as high as over 60 marks. (They are Jasmeet, Teck Siang, Danial, Danyal, Maisurah, Eileen, Nadhirah, Nabiha and Nabil.) To top it all, this semester, Ong Teck Siang has scored an aggregate of 5 points for his best three subjects and he passed English as well. This means that if he maintains this standard or produces better results at next year's GCE 'N' Level examinations, he will have no problem moving up to sec 5. CONGRATULATIONS! KEEP IT UP!
