Dear 1S14,
Hi to all. This is Laurencia and I guess this is also the first time I'm blogging here. Anyway, I’d like to thank Xin Jie for sharing with us on how he feels about the class and I’d love to share with you guys about how I feel too.
Well, first of all, I’m quite surprised with some of the students behaviors in class. Sometimes, some students just don’t know how to behave in the appropriate way. It is true that we can have fun, but I believe when it comes to work, we do have to be serious.
Btw, do you know that some of us can be really rude at times? I just find these behaviors are unacceptable and I just can’t stand them.
You guys obviously know the reason why we came to JC and I believe it’s all because we want to go to University and of course to have a better future ahead. To be able to do that, we have to behave in the right way so that people can respect us. If we can’t even respect others, how can you expect other people to respect you? Well, perhaps I’ve no right to say this but let me just write it here. I do not mind if you guys want to say any vulgar words in front of your friends and me but it is very unacceptable and inappropriate when you said it in the presence of the teachers, especially when they are teaching! I think it is very very rude to do that. Some of you could even say it repetitively.
I really do not expect all this to happen in a JC. I thought we should be mature enough to know all this. We are young adults, aren’t we? Besides, we go to school because we want to learn and teachers are the ones who always be there to guide us. So, shouldn’t we respect them? I just can’t believe that some of us could actually talk to the teachers without any respect at all! I seriously find it very rude.
During physics class some of you were often not paying attention in class when Mr Ng was trying his best to teach us. He even worried for us and keep trying to get our fullest attention so that we can do well for our exams but look, some of you just took it for granted. Isn't it funny when the teachers are worrying for you when you are not worried that you are not going to do well in class? We are really lucky to have Mr Ng as our teacher as he always try to help us but some of us just don't care about that.
I would appreciate it very much if some of you could actually cut down the number of vulgar words you said every day as sometimes, it can be very disturbing to some of us.
Perhaps I shouldn’t continue writing anymore and please do not get offended from things that I wrote here. I’m not trying to criticize all of you and neither i'm saying that I always behave in the correct way. I’m just trying to share with you about how I feel.
After all, you shouldn’t feel offended if you are not feeling guilty, right?
And one more thing, Respect is a very big word, learn it to gain it.
Regards,
Laurencia
