Sometimes I wonder if some teachers realised that students are humans too.

And sometimes,I wonder if these teachers are humans themselves.

Recently,a teacher scolded my class for being the worst 4 H2 class she has ever seen. Well,I can't argue with the fact that it was our fault for not submitting our homework on time.But what really pissed me off was that we chose to go to a 4 H2 class not because we thought than we're better than the rest but because of other less shallow reasons.If we were worse than the rest,then we wouldn't even be in this class because they would have taken our places,wouldn't they?Seriously...

And yeah,our concepts are all wrong.But isn't that what learning is all about?Making mistakes and learning from them?You think that we made those mistakes for fun?So that we could see you reprimand us like that?We are humans.We learn from our mistakes.It's only March for goodness sake.And everything needs time.We are sorry for all that we've done,but don't jump to illogical conclusions and make us sound like we don't want to learn,cause that's what we're here for.

And yeah,SYF is coming.In fact for many,it's already here.It's a very stressful period and juggling CCA,studies,friends and family is a fantastic feat.I'm just hoping that people out there try and understand what these people are going through.These people include family,friends and yes,teachers.Please don't expect miracles from us.And please don't say things like 'I don't care if you got SYF,all I want are results.' or 'who asked you to join these kind of time-consuming CCAs'.

Firstly,we will give you good results PROVIDED you show some kind of understanding as to what we're going through.If my Economics teacher can understand,why can't the rest?SYF's only once in every 2 years.It's now or never,unless we retain which I'm sure a lot of us don't want that to happen right?SYF's also coming in May.If maybe,just maybe,you could give us some form of leniency from now till then,then we could definitely work harder after that.I'm not saying we shouldn't do any homework or anything,I'm just saying that if the deadline for submission could be postponed to a later date,then that would be more than enough.Even just postponing for one or two days is good enough,cause we can do a lot in one or two days.

Secondly,WE were the ones who chose to join our CCA.Some may have used this CCA to appeal or to come here via DSA.For people like me,who came to this school via merit,I joined band cause I like to play as a band.And of course,I like music.Reasons why I didn't join choir was because singing isn't really my thing and because I don't want my playing skills for flute to go to waste.I'm suggesting taking flute classes again after my A levels.Anyway,we know what we should be expecting by joining such CCAs.We know that there would be a lot of commitment involved.We got ourselves into this.What we really want is just for people to understand.I think for now,moral support is really the key to coping with all these obstacles.I have my family's and friend's support.There's just one more group of people that I hope will support these people who are going through this difficult period.I don't think I need to mention what this group is.

To all those going through a difficult time,all the best!We're all in this together.It's ok to let out all your anger and frustration.But just don't let it control you.If I suddenly breakdown for no reason,then my apologies in advance.Haha it already happened once,and that guy was pretty freaked out.So sorry! =P Good luck to everyone!Take care! XD
