- Six Diligence 2010

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 ; Attitude

Dear 6D pupils,

It's quite disappointing that some of you have not adopted a good attitude for PSLE, lazing around during lessons, laughing and joking with friends when the teacher's talking.

I'm a direct person. If you don't like the lessons, please do not affect those around you who do or are just too polite to decline talking to you. Spare a thought for others.

I'm having a bad throat problem that refuses to go away. I appreciate those who show more concern by keeping the noise level down. As for those who don't, I don't need you to care about my condition, but please spare a thought for those who want to ask questions and those who want to learn.

Then again, there are several others who have stepped up their gears. A good sign, in particular, is Yi Wei. If you remember last year and early this year, Yi Wei gets treatment worse than a dog from me. Now, he may not be scoring well for practices, he has certainly adjusted his attitude positively.

Then, there are also Yi Ze and Jin Jie, who are aware of their standards and have been keeping their attitude positive all along. 6D is a challenging environment for them two. I have my words of encouragement for both of you:

"You may not be the best in the class, but you are the best in my eyes and I'm proud of you. Keep it up!"

The girls in 6D are the least worrying. Since P5, about 90% of them are constantly diligent. Even Mdm Maisarah often praised you in front of me. You're good and I don't intend to take your attitude for granted. Thank you, girls, for being so wonderful in learning. We appreciate your efforts.

If you realise about Yun Ling's, Yu Rong's and Michelle's body languages, you'll notice that my homework is not enough for them. I feel sorry for you. You're great students. People may call you freaks, but you're GREAT. I'd like to become a freak if this is what freaks are like. Try oldscool.com.sg to work on more questions or try the old questions in Math Weekly.

I apologise for the lack of mock exams. As much as I love to arrange one, we're restrained by availability of venue and I'm also caught up with many personal matters, which I'm still struggling with.

Don't worry for me as I won't shortchange you in your PSLE preparations. I just want those who are in top gear in learning attitude to continue so. Don't over-do it, don't let your flame douse. Keep it in balance and you'll reap what you sow soon.

Here's a little reward on the picture of the iceberg that is floating away from Greenland. It's 1/3 the size of Singapore. This is the reality behind Global Warming.

I wish you luck in your upcoming PSLE examinations and prelims.

Best of luck,
Mr Wan
