Time to take stock
Felt the great need to blog. The ist intake of ICT will be graduating soon, in just a few months from now. But somehow, the class that I thought very highly of seem to be changing, just like those that i thot were once very concerned with their studies seem to be losing interest and surprising those that were the so called "worser" lot are picking up.
Just to illustrated thsi point. Let me relate what happened. Just about 2 weeks ago, one of the staff shouted at the class for being not serious about btheir work and also because a few "answered back" when advised. To me this staff did right as the students were not doing their work. Excuses given was that, we had done it at home so i can play game now. Hello! Just because you did some work at home, does not mean that you come all the way to school to play games. Even if you had done some of your work at home, i don't expect you to come to school and start playing games! When one start going online and play online games, don;t you know that others will follow suit? At least spend some time doing some more of your work before playing! Don't come to school and start playing game, you might as well not come at all!
Surprisingly, the few so called "worser" lot were researching and trying to come up with something for their project. Surprise! surprise! The good one playing games and the "bad" one doing their work. One of them was actually doing her dreamweaver design after I gave her a 10 mins of how to use dreamweaver. No, I am not boasting but actually it stunned me when I saw her coming up with her simple designed. all the while she was one who seldom bother to listen to lesson and normally go on the net to read blog etc. And yet from the back of the room, I could see her trying out and working on her design but the rest, as far as my eyes could see, were playing games or watching shows from either youtube or VCD.
Again, I says, pls do not tell me that I do mine work at home what! So I can play game lah! NO MAN! When in school, this is the best time for you to ask your teacher to help resolved you school project's problems. Dont't says that the teacher don't understand you. No if all you do is to play game in school, pls do not expect your teacher to undertsand that you had done your work at home and it is OK to play game once in school!
It is sad for me to see this happening in the class. I always had high hope that many will make it to further their studies either in higher nitec or in poly. As for me, I believe I had done all I could for all the students. Really cannot think of what else I could do to help them. Two years with us and coming to an end soon, where will each go? What is the next "destination" after ITE? Everyone of you must decide on your own path. Hopefully, this last term and this blog will spur you further and "awaken" your spirit to do better in your final modules!!! All the best
