Eight Plus Five

Dear Reader,

If you came to my class on 25 March 2009, you would know what this is about.
Oh well, if you even if you DID come, I'll tell you about it anyway. But I'll have to use a pseudonym for the person involved, one that only some people will recognize.


MO is angry at us. Again.

And this time, I don't blame her at all. In fact, I don't really blame her when she's really pissed off. Though, there ARE quite a number of times when she gets angry unreasonably and gives an unfair punishment, but that's only when she is angry.

But this is when she is ENRAGED.

She has been a number of times before. In fact, with many classes.
What she does is ...
a) Burst out suddenly for a continuous mistake we do
b) Relate it with other bad stuff we do
c) Tell us that she wont teach us, or teach us well, anymore
d) State that because we do not want to to change our behaviour, which she has told us about before, she will not teach us, or not teach us well.

She does this like an annual-biannual thing. I know, since she has done it to my class a number of times, when I was Form One, Form Two, and now Form Three.

The times when she gets ENRAGED are not like when she gets angry. When she is angry, the problem might be a misunderstanding, or trivial, or sometimes, believe it or not, when she "pilih kasih".

But when she gets ENRAGED, the fault is mostly because of us. Like in Form Two, she blasted off because some of us didn't bring our books (one of those people is yours truly, heh heh), because we were told that she wouldn't come to class that day, but in the end she came. Some people did bring their books just to be safe, but in the end, we're dragged down because of the people who didn't. Sorry guys.

This time, she got ENRAGED because most of us do not try to answer the maths questions that she asks. It's the same bunch of people who always try. She told all of us to stand up, but called out the names of the "always-trying-to-answer-questions bunch" to sit down. Some of those people are Louise, Sai, Joon Keet, Abu Syakireen, Divia, Tengku Hathirah, and yours truly. So HAH! In your face! Now you have to apologize to me! I'm not too sure about Billy and Jowynna, because she told these two to sit in the middle of her lecture. But anyway, she still told us she wouldn't teach us well. She would teach super-fast from now on.

But many of us know how this thing will end. There will be a lot of drama, confusion between classmates about what to do, people pointing to each other, MO will come to class and teach like crap compared to what she usually does, some of us will try to apologize and promise to change, it won't work, and then there'll be one day when she will burst again, tell us quite a long lecture, and then things return to normal.

I mean, she has good intention, but this is usually the series of events that will occur, and that's it. We'll probably heed her advice for a few weeks, but no long-term effect. I myself wish that her advice could be heeded in long-term, but regretfully, it just won't. Probably that's why it keeps happening. If so, then we NEED to change.

I just hope she doesn't read this, or she will murder me. Twice. = O


Peace. Love. Joy.
