Today I will be blogging on a rather serious incident that recently took place in my class:
*bell rings to signal the end of chinese lesson*
One of my classmates is called out to meet the teacher. The teacher speaks to him until our recess time, when the whole class races out of the classroom but is shocked to see that our classmate is looking terribly upset.
Now, what went wrong?
Apparently, the chinese teacher had been speaking to him about his chinese report. In my school, we have a unique system of "ACE", the term given to our results for project work, reports, etc. Ace points are included in the EOY scholastic MSG, and failure to maximise the ace points for the term might result in a poor grade for the EOY mean subject grade.
Anyway, after much coaxing, my classmate finally blurted out the cause of his unhappiness. He had done a ten-page report, expecting to get at least 3-4 ace points, but he only received a miserable two points. After putting in so much effort and achieving such results, it was only natural that he should be upset.
After thinking about this incident, I feel quite sorry for my classmate. After putting myself in his shoes, I understand how he feels, as it feels really terrible after putting in so much work but achieving poor results. Though we should respect the teacher's final decision, I think she should have considered his feelings and perhaps given him a few more ace points for putting in so much effort, hence allowing him to maximise his ace points for this term.
Dear readers, please share your opinions.
Sean.
