On Saturday I went to the chinese school to talk to the teacher whose class I am going to take over. She was pregnant and she has to attend community language class on Sunday so she wanted out from her teaching duties. The principal told me to take over the week after next so I galdly agreed. I stayed from 9.30am till 12.30pm observing the class. Not easy to handle as the class although is small with 16 pupils but their ability is so varied. The 2 Korean kids are not so interested too. Well! To make teaching easy I will have to think of ways to engage them.
Heard from Prinicpal that boys had strongly opposed to taing part of the chinse eisteddfod ( lang3 song4) compettion. We told them they had to participate no matter what and guess what? Charles ran off and even talked back rather rudely to the Principal. He even disturd by climbing into the recycling bin in class. Principal said she had to give him a warning letter. Well! That's what he wanted!!! He is a scheming little one so he would find all means and ways to get himself out of the chinese lesson. In fact he refused to follow Joe home and walked all the way home himself. School ends at 5 pm and he only reached home at 6pm. Don't ask me why we are so heartless. sometimes I hope I can send my boys to boarding school and only see them once or twice a year. We have done our best to bring up the boys and if anyone thinks that we have not done a good job, so be it as it was never between them and me, it's between God and me and God knows how much effort we have put in to give them a good life and to teac them life skills that they should know for life.
Felt really pai2 say3 that my child misbehaved badly in class. Could never understand why he is so against learning Chinese language. He would hate us now but the language will be useful to him in future. Knowing a second or third language is like having another pair of wings.
Having son like that really drains all our energy.
