first day of the term!
I love school! serious. Although it's tough and i find myself on the verge of stoning in most classes, i do like to be among my peers and question my teachers to death. Today, we had a guest speaker from Makansutra for our IP talk that we have every two weeks. He just goes to show that you don't have to have a college degree to succeed. What you DO need is talent and skill and entrepreneurship. After all, his company is a "food company that doesn't sell food". i mean, who would have thought to conduct FOOD tours in Singapore, or have guides to all the LOVELY food all around Asia?
although this doesn't have anything much to do with my accountability blog, i shall indulge in ranking my teachers according to my preference.
1. Mr Kuo. he is the BESTEST BEST chem teacher you could ever ever get! He's funny, and most importantly, he allows me to ask ANY question i have for him. if he doesn't know, he'll even let us check it up on the web. He inspires me to question what i learn instead of simply absorbing it like limestone whilst all my nutrients seep out. A major PLUS is that he is pro-nanyang and anti-cheena high, even though he's an old boy! jokingg. it's just very funny to see him rail about his whimpy juniors.
2. Ms Lee. She is so knowledgeable that it hurts. Serious. she knows about everything under the sun (and even some areas where the sun doesn't shine). She makes these fabulous bio diagrams that make studying so much easier, and has all these concept maps for revision. Plus, she's nice and understanding and gives us very very little take home homework, and very little homework at all!
3.Mrs Kuan!!!! She's our s.s teacher, and she's very motherly and cool about S.s. she's the first teacher who has admitted that S.s IS propaganda. She makes lessons very fun, and she didn't scold us when our debate on "the government is a neccessary evil" went horribly awry because the mtion didn't make sense and my side had all the points so we had to help the other side come up with really weird and random points. HOW does a government BE a neccesary evil? it's illogical. If it's neccessary, it can't possibly BE evil because that would not make sense. And even if there are some cases where that is possible, pray tell, what points could you possibly bring up to PROVE that the government is evil?
4.all the rest of my teachers. Okay, fine, i wimped out at going any further than this... who knows, i might end up failing some random subject if i did... but most of my teachers really care about us, and that's what really matters, right? Their teaching styles and techniques are all very unique and different, and so it isn't very possible to rate them without a certain amount of bias getting in the way...
BUT Mr Kuo is really a miracle worker. my chemistry used to be kinda horrid... but now...
Thank God for all the lovely teachers that i have. Help me not to get on their nerves too much by asking seemingly stupid and out of point questions. And help me NOT to stone during classes, and remember to bring lesson materials.
