I don't think you're an "educator" at all. A real teacher would research this better, and would know by now that it IS a hoax.

You then wouldn't have to get up to (not) see it that day.

To Discipline or Not To Discipline

News like this, this and this is putting us in a big big dilemma... that is to discipline or not to discipline our increasingly undisciplined students...the other day I caught 2 Form two boys smoking right outside the school compound just before school begins ...found a lighter in one of the boys pocket....interrogated them and then just by sending them to the school higher authority ..I got 2 long scratches on my 3 years old metallic car.... sigh...sigh....and with the media churning out so many front pages story about teachers dealing with disciplinary problems in schools we teachers have only 2 roads to take ...
1. see disciplinary problems ...we face it and who knows may even end up in the front page of local and national newspaper or
2. ignore and pretend not to see any disciplinary problems in order not to end up on the front page

If we choose path 1 ...we teachers "die"
If we choose path 2 ...students and parents "die"

so how??
Comments are very much welcomed!!!

Is algebra and equations too difficult for your child?

As a Form 2 ( 8th grade ) Maths teacher, I found that my students are always having great difficulties in learning equations and algebra which later expands into more complex algebraic expressions and formulae. To our students who are learning algebra for the first time , it just like looking right into the face of aliens

After much research on Internet I found this score learning programme which help students with these equations and algebra. The programme uses a diagnostic and prescriptive approach to identify a child's needs, then define an individualized learning plan. Their adaptive computerized curriculum also helps children to learn at their own pace.

Their learning is effective because each student will receive individual instruction from their math tutors with no more than seven students for every instructor as compared to our class of 40 students.With such good attention students are bound to make significant academic progress, which will later translate into improved confidence and motivation. This approach of learning will surely inspire our children to excel.

Math can be complicated and math can be hard, but once it's understood, math can be fun.

New Toy

This is the new toy I got for myself:


In order not to feel guilty for buying this toy I need to state to myself 10 good reasons for buying it :

1. It is cheap RM 249 only + 2 cosway redemption coupons

2. Hard to find real 100% wholemeal bread in bakery...most of the wholemeal bread are actually mixed with at least 30% white flour

3. As a prediabetic, I really need to eat low GI wholemeal bread even though it is not nice since it is tough and not sweet.

4. Most bread sold in towns are loaded with preservatives.

5. Very lazy to drive to my favourite ALOHA DELICATESSEN BAKERY just to get one loaf of bread

6. Can just set the time and wow... wake up in the morning a nice loaf of bread is there waiting for me......

7. Can now make a wide wide variety of wholemeal bread ..like wholemeal banana bread, wholemeal cheese bread .. wholemeal cinnamon bread, wholemeal bacon bread, wholemeal herbal bread ..is the list long enuf to bore you???

8. I love to eat pizza but after diagnosed as a diabetic I shy away from Pizza Hut so with this new toy I can make my own wholemeal pizza base and put my favourite toppings on it ...Muahaha...

9. For the last 7 months, I didn't eat a single piece of my favourite pau:

with this new toy I can command it to knead pau with wholemeal flour then take them out and put in fillings and steam ...tata... my favourite pau.sssss.

10. I love baking but I hate kneading ... so this machine will now do all the kneading in this world without me lifting a figure ..just need to press buttons .. I love technology.......

Ok ..enuf 10 reasons ... I don't find myself guilty anymore to buy it.

Shhh.. just to tell you my llth reason ..also a secret of mine... that is to celebrate my pay rise this month... I love Abdullah Badawai aka Pak Lah ... someone once says this " Masa Abdullah, SEMUA NAIK..." do your own research and interpretations on these words...
