distressed.

sighhhh.....

terrible day.
first.....ulcers around in my mouth are making me suffer. even talking is so xin ku...ughh.

second....first thing in the bright morning. do i get a "good morning" greeting from students? NO.
instead....a scolding from one of the parents.
her daughter got a demerit from another teacher....for forgetting to bring home her PE clothes yesterday. and the girl was crying as if her cat died or something. dramaqueen.
so the mom came n scold and accuse US, the teachers, why do we want to punish her "poor little daughter"!!!
i explained to her that we remind all our students everyday to bring home their bottles, lunchboxes, etc. and we have told them since the school started (which was three months ago) that they will get a demerit if they forgot. so it's not that we simply punished her daighter!
and i told her this will help them be more responsible.

but what did the mom say? "dont punish my daughter. if she does wrong, dont give her demerits. because it will make her not want to go to school."

goodness!!! i was speechless. i was thinking in my mind that there is NO such school that doesnt punish students ok! or is there?

so i told the mom is not a serious thing. we didnt even scold the girl ahhhh....why is she crying? we just asked her to stick it on her office n told her to remember to bring her stuff home next time MAH!
GOSH LAAAAAAAAAAAA. faint.

but the mom insisted that we should not give punishments to little kids because they are young n just need to relax and have fun! =.=
sighh....if you want your children to have fun, keep them at home. yes,school is fun...but it is also a serious learning place. isnt it???? and this small thing will just teach them to be responsible next time and to NOT forget things mah. AH-DUH-HAI!!!!!!!

SIGHH.

felt so hurt after the mom left. ONE tear... yes, only one. =D (rach..dont call me cry baby ok!) rolled down my eyes. and i wiped it away before the kids could see it.

my fellow teacher told me dont worry or be so stressed about it. because we are doing the right thing to teach the kids responsibility. felt a little better...but still sad.


as if the day couldn't get any worse....
went to dentist!!! arrghh..lucky he didnt do much. just check and done. phew.

but after that...paid parking ticket.
and when i came home, found out the guy wrote the wrong car plate number!!
ARRGGGHHH. tambah stress la!
sigh. oh well, dad'll be back tonight. will ask him what to do la. =X




oh goodness. what a day.

worst day i have had in the whole year. =X and the year is just gtting started.

ballet later too... =X


thank goodness for my "laughing-medicine"..... rach... =) hehe..

Hey Sa, totally feel for you when parents of students don't get what our good intentions are as teachers. It's tough but hang in there. You're doing great. HugS* I always start the day anew with my little ones and their parents. It's easier this way :)
