14/07/09 - exam week. yippie! exam week equals to no lesson plan. hoho! i'm actually enjoying this. i'm such a bad teacher. that's why my karma boomerang is coming back to me at full speed. and worse i never knew how to play boomerang in the first place so running away is out of the question. my pathetic karma would be that in exam week, instead of being in their best behaviours, the students are at their worst. haish...naseb2...
my first stop is 1G. in any other day, i'm teaching them sivic in that period but for the exam i'm monitoring them for BM paper. surprise, surprise! when i gave them the paper, simultaneously Hock Leong and the gang pushed aside the question papers and took out their comics and began reading and talking and laughing. ALOUD. i mean hello?? this is an exam remember?? so i 'confiscated' their comics and separated all three of them so they wont be able to talk to one another with one sitting at the back, one at the front and one at the center of the class. but guess what? it got worse. they still talked! even with all the distance between. with louder voice of course. so i decided to do the reverse psychology thingy..;p
i went to Hock Leong and asked him why didn't he answer the questions and he replied that he had no foolscap paper to write his answers on. so i walked around the class asking other students to lend him a piece of paper. he just stared at me like i had grew on two noses all of a sudden. i gave him the paper and he just stared at me. i take it he's making sure that i wasn't making fun of him. so i asked him, "now can you answer the questions?" to my relief, he slowly opened his bag and took out his pen and began writing. until the end of class. the rest of the gang too began answering the questions. well you know what they say; if you want to destroy a whole colony of ants, destroy the Queen first. hoho!
and then the funniest thing happened. after 30 mins of exam, Rawi raised his hand. i went up to him and he asked me," Cikgu, ini ujian sivik ke bahasa melayu?" and i was stunned. i turned to look at the board and there i wrote 'BAHASA MELAYU: 1.40-2.40' so i answered him,"Bahasa Melayu lah." then all of a sudden, the rest of the students in the class started whispering to one another,"Bahasa Melayu laa.." and that's when i realized what's happening. they thought that it was sivic paper since i was the one who monitored them! i mean just because i'm teaching you sivic it doesn't mean that i'll be monitoring you for sivic as well. for god's sake the questions asked you to do a ringkasan, and then soalan pemahaman and the last part is tatabahasa. now tell me how can that be sivic my dear students??? huhu..and why is it you dont memorize your exam timetables?? i'm gettin a headache with all this...
next stop..1C. i was really hoping it'll be better because i saw them all quiet and nice with the previous teacher, kak aliniey. but when i entered i actually saw them grinning ear-to-ear. what happened next is history. they began talking and discussing the answers right under my nose. they even walked to each others' seats to copy the answers! and this is 1C i'm talking about. so i asked them,"knp ngan cikgu aliniey awk diam ngan saya awk bising?" they replied,"sebab cikgu baaaikkkk..." huh! baik yer? nanti korg..so i smiled and told them that they can do whatever they want but that they have to send in their answer sheets to bilik pk ptg themselves coz i dont want to have anything to do with great talkers. they still talked after that but not so much anymore. well that's better than nothing rite?
in 1F, a one-hour paper turned into a five-minute paper. they all finished answering in like 5 mins. mostly they just circled the answers as they like without reading them. and after they sent in the papers, it's fun time! they began shuffling in the class and even worse packed up their bags and left. it was no way near the last bell. haish..wo hen lei..wo zenmeyang??
so this is how the students do their exams in smksi. at least that's what kak azah told me in the staffroom. i never thought i would live to see this. hoho! dear students, you are definitely one-of-a-kind! ;p
