complain-king, this is for you.
i don't see why some people complain about jc life being so horrible and detestable. i mean, they keep saying they can't keep up with their work, teachers are unreasonable etc etc.. but these are the exact same people who sleep/talk kok in every lecture/tutorial, advocate mass slackerism ("everyone don't do work! [the teacher] can't give us ALL white slips lorh"), play dota at home, and generally don't give a shit about school work. well sure, maybe cca quite stress, got match, got season, whatever. but seriously lorh. you just have to prioritise.. i mean, isn't learning something during lecture/tutorial more important than talking kok? especially when you have cca training and you know that you have no time at home to catch up? and how can you really blame the teachers for scolding you for not doing work? they can't say don't give you work, let you play all day and then flunk your a-levels right. and they can't give you the whole year to do one tutorial, because they have so much more to teach, and there are other students who (to the surprise of all these loudmouths) actually want to learn something and get decent grades for common tests/promos.
ms koo (maths tutor) exploded today. not in a way most teachers do. she's a really really mild person.. tolerates a whole lot of shit, whether it's from the lecture group or our class.. but today she really just broke and scolded us. and it really got to me.. cuz she's really quite concerned for us, but so many people take her mildness for granted and just doesn't care about her, since they're always just thinking of how they can get away with not doing work since she's such a nice person and everything. sometimes i just wonder.. what's wrong with my class? i mean yeah we're noisy, rowdy and we have lots and lots of fun.. but can't we be serious when we have to? like during lessons? so many of them are DSA through sports and everything.. but why come to RJ just to play sports, have fun, and get 4 Fs for promos? why not go to some other JC full of other like-minded slackers, and just have fun there, without all the caring, concerned teachers breathing down your necks?
i guess its quite human to want to have fun. but really, isn't it time to start caring about others as well? care about our teachers, our classmates who want to learn, ourselves and our own future?
