This is a late post. Taken when my class was taking the BCG injection. The girls were a bit shy so I only took clear shots of the guys. I think this was in Term 3 week 2 2007 on a Wednesday.

Finally Prelim 1 is over
Man, am I glad that Prelim 1 is over.
I can now take a few more relax whistles from my usual sighs.
The pupils didn't do too well. I suppose the school's paper is relatively tough.
Still many of them threw marks away due to sheer silliness - not reading the question properly; not answering the questions; not memorizing some standard answers which was decreed by me to be memorized a few centuries ago ... and the list goes on. Talk about having the brains but no wisdom. I can warn til the cows come home but it will be ignored. 'Stars are bright, though the brightest fell', Ah well, life of a teacher. I am more worried for them than they are for themselves.
Engulfed in the gloom, there are some who are really working and are not showing results. My heart goes out to them the most. I do hope that their grades will reflect the amount of effort and sweat and blood poured into the exams.
