Attitude

Dear 4F,
I am rather frustrated with your attitude towards English in general. Except for a small few who are keen to learn and improve, the rest of you are just waiting to be reminded. There is no effort on your part to write additional essays or even for most of you in this class to hand in your September Holiday homework to me!! (Zhonghua Prelim) Those who have not handed in, you know who you are. Those who have requested for extra papers, there is no point in taking additional papers and not working on them.

As such, I will adopt a "compulsory" EL Consultation Session in order to be able to get each of you to work and complete a certain number of assignments before you take your EL Exams. Consultations will be on an individual basis (one-on-one) since you cannot be trusted anymore to look for me in small groups and the student will need to finish writing an Essay before coming for the session. Student will need to bring along the Essay Compilation Book! Students who are granted exceptions and are allowed to see me in pairs are those who have proven themselves worthy in the past 1 month.

Consultation schedule will be distributed on Monday!

Night Study Attendance:
EL Night Study Attendance last Friday was pathetic and those who did come, did not manage to complete 2 pieces of assignments. There is a reason why we make you come down for 3hours from 6pm-9pm and this is so that, you can "force" yourself to time your own writing. Without this discipline, how are you to excel and complete your paper on time? With this, I am also referring to the more studious students- your attitude towards time-management is atrocious!

It takes 2 hands to clap!
In order to make this journey to work, I need everyone to play their role and for my Class Committee to rise to the challenge to steer the class in the right direction and not be some driftwood with no aim or leadership abilities!

Ms Ong.
