hello mr soh : )

anyw to 3L de if you all are reading this (i hope you are) please listen up.

i think we're all affected by mrs tay's outburst, whether it's on a big scale or it's just bugging you at the back of your mind. this blog post nt meant to scold you all lah, but just reflect on ourselves ba.

since when have we ever paid her ample attention for her to really get through to us?

since when have we done her homework dutifully, and handed in her assignments without fail? "mrs tay assginment ar, no need do one lah" - i hear this everytime.

since when have we ever been quiet during her lesson? every few seconds she'll have to tell us to shut up, and i think if i were in her shoes i'd feel very, very sad. what is the point of standing in front of a class that doesn't even listen to you, and doesn't even respect you just because you're NICE?

yes i know that she's nice she's friendly she jokes with us a lot. in case you guys dont know, she treats us much, much better than any of her other classes. go ask the people from 3H if you dont believe me.

anyway, my point is, we dont appreciate her at all. just because she is slack with us we really shouldn't just trample all over her like a doormat, you get what i mean? and the thing is, after her outburst, we just continued talking after a few minutes like nobody's business. i quote mrs tay,"what kind of a damn rotten attitude is this?" it's like she doesn't matter at all. i mean, yah lah, she's slack, but she is still a teacher right? where is her due respect? we're nt giving her any.

the talking thing doesn't apply to only mrs tay. not-so-fierce teachers like mr soh, paul lim and mrs woon also face this problem. why can't we just pay more attention to them? and even if you dont respect the teacher and you just simply want to talk, cant you please spare a thought for those people who REALLY want to listen and get the most out of the lesson? it isn't very fair for the rest, because talking when the teacher is teaching is F-ING distracting. how would you feel if you were presenting in front of the class and nobody is talking to you?

think about it, put yourself in mrs tay's shoes. how frustrated she must feel when we dont listen to her, how disappointed she must be when we dont do the questions that she tells us to do, how hurt she must have been when she was close to tears, and we were STILL talking.

and there's also this toilet problem. how come just before paul lim's lesson, three quarters of the class go out to relieve themselves? why is it always paul lim's lesson? why dont i see the same thing happening when we have mrs ong's lesson, or lkc's lesson? why must we always bully the (i shan't use the word 'slack') not-so-strict teachers? do we have to get taught by very very fierce teachers before we can pull up our socks?

i admit that im also guilty about some of the stuff that i brought up here; im contributing to the toilet problem =x but if we all make an effort to give more respect to our teachers, maybe 3L's reputation will improve?

i dont know what to say anymore, th rest is up to you all to reflect ba, there's only so much i can say. this post is nt intended to offend yeah so please dont take it to heart; i just want you all to reflect on yourselves la yeah.

cheers.
