His name is Leonard. He was okay. I taught him maths until i was going to puke out blood. He was criticizing me when i was teaching and kept on looking at his watch which was very distracting. That was the first time i made careless mistake in maths.
The equation: 48x= 45x+180
48x-45x=180
3x=180
x=60 (correct)
I did:
48x+45x=180
93x=180
x=1.9++ (wrong)
I done the question many many times and i couldn't find the answer. That boy shouted that i am not fit to be his teacher. Just a secondary 2 boy and he behaved like that. That's bad. Since he was rushing home, i gave him 12 Questions of Algebra as his homework. Hand in on Monday.
Elaine's rules for maths:
- Do corrections when you got the questions wrong.
- When you tell me the questions are easy, i expect them to be all correct
- Reasons must be reasonable for not doing work, copy the Question 10 times if reason is not supported
- Handwriting must be legible. Redo if i can't read.
- I will teach you until you know how to do
Now i know why the maths tutee don't like me to teach them maths. I have high expectation, don't i ?? I personally feels that it is good to have a strict and responsible maths teacher. Under them, we can learn well. Be it afraid to score well, be it he or she teaches well, anyone that can make you excel is a good one.
That boy too complained that i was far too strict. Too bad then. I am returning to that place again on Monday to get my homework which is going to satisfy me and also the ice-cream treat. At least these both will brighten up my day!!!
I am unique because i met you.
