週五寫週四

BLOG寫完了,八爪魚也吃了一包。

每晚都捨不得睡覺,臨睡前都怪自己早睡睡好睡得多,明早不是五時半便起來趕喉趕命便是假期睡至十點多十一點,真箇浪費時間。

嫌自己睡得太多也是害怕死亡突然降臨的條件反射,覺得好玩的東西太多但時間金錢太少。這個春天假期原想到台北一轉,但單身上路成本較高,還是把錢留到暑假吧,不要手痕用來跟師奶高買股票便好。

昨天看神經病 神經痛症,令人身心舒泰的不是會醫得好不是醫生的風趣幽默也不是打了支止痛針,而是醫生宣佈我體重略輕還有三磅的進食空間!

但係醫生,我肚腩大﹖醫生話,多做sit-up

於是乎,走在佐敦街頭,先吃一個fantastic既牛肉飯tastic,再到無印良品買零食,晚上來一客BBQ,回到家把可摺兩摺的肚腩展示給李太看,她「啋」一聲叫我唔好咁核突。李太成日話,全屋最高學歷係我,最核突同最爛口既,都係我。

以前學校開聯歡會,完場少不了來個集體清潔,有真心服務的同學,有搏在老師面前扮乖的同學,有死死地氣一齊做的同學,卻總不會有老師叫幫手竟然耍手擰頭既同學。這幾年教書,竟然見得很多,地球上果真有咁自私既物種。

又係昨晚返學校BBQ,見識到何謂free rider之水面版(即扮也不扮也)。燒烤完畢,一面在他-們面前請他-們一起收爐掃垃圾洗杯洗碟,他-們竟然會一面話「唔好啦掛」一面拔足逃跑去打--球,乖也不扮。這些cases,近兩年見不少,語塞。所以,有學生見我拿著掃帚便過來幫手的,加分。

我們可以有很多理由解釋,不過我奉勸各位小朋友,你做過什麼說過什麼,旁人會看在眼裡記在心裡。記得同事E說在以前服務的學校,有成績不俗的中五生放榜後叩門去,老師好生奇怪,何以如此高分還要撲學校﹖原來從前遲到太多,責任感欠奉,好成績學校也不收。今世的果是前世種下的因,SEE

  1. "但單身上路成本較高" - hope all the hong kong guys read this line loud and clear.

    I was a mediocre student growing up, never the teacher's pet nor was I the worst one, hence never got the attention. Then I was a Slow Poke (like the one in Pokemon). I think more than once I got accused of being lazy or shit like that helping out, which I think I wasn't, but being a slow poke and not having a pair of big eyes and dimples certainly hurt my popularity among teachers. So I am forever scarred and no amount of therapy helped.
    But no, I didn't grow up like Naomi Campbell, wish I did...

  3. laichungleung: An experienced teacher / adult should be able to distinguish between shy students, students who disguise and students with heart. A teacher should give opportunities to all students to explore themselves - but those whom I saw on Thursday were those in disguise, constantly.

    船山兄︰全部都係百份百事實,無恐嚇。不要談勢利不勢利,有禮有風度識大體,不是做人的基本道理嗎﹖

  4. That's why I "hate" asking students to help with the school work... especially asking them to prepare display board!

    Yes, when we interviewed those S5 graduates, we were sometimes "amazed" by reading a certificate with many "As" and "Bs" but still had to come to our school!

    To share with you another case here. There was a student who got 2 As but failed in English in HKCEE. Our "usual" way of handling this kind of case was to give the student a chance to promote to S6 and ask him/her to retake English Cert Exam. But this student was not given any chance because when he was in junior forms, he was absolutely a trouble maker ~ to an extent that he had threatened the safety of the others.

    So students, please must learn to take full responsibilty of your own behaviour.

  5. attitude cannot be taught cos it could be born or learnt from parents..whatever the trend is, to be fair, there are still some out there who really help out. i do go BBQ with my students and fortunately, they are quite independent..i guess it depends on the persons..
