"wow, dun u think we are productive and efficent?" i exclaimed.
"hmm...i dun think i'm productive!" my stdt, g, retorted politely.
"huh, u knw u r one of my best stdts, doing things really fast and able to keep up with the learning phase!" i explained my viewpoint.
"actually, i'm not that productive anymore. i used to be...but not now. i find the subjects so heavy, esp science, that requires so much memory work!" she provided her view too about herself.
seriously, this stdt of mine is a top A stdt. i wonder where she gets the impression that she's not hardworking, she's not efficient and she's not as productive as i thought.
well, she told me all feelings start this yr, p5 level. to me, it oculd be too much work and tuition weighing upon her, although she nvr complains about her life being packed with tuition classes (every single subject).
i reckon it's just a passing phase for kids as they are growing up. or maybe, she's comparing herself with her previous excellent self.
as tutors, it's even more impt for me to 'affirm' her by telling her positive things.
when one feels positive and good, one will definitely stay afloat no matter what!
dun let the ms negative naughty sneak into your life, distorting ing your heart and adding pollutants to your mind.
take a breather and tell yourself,"i am improving!" but of coz, actions speak louder than words.

Nowadays, tutors have to be a counsellor too.... Kids in this era are pitiful, so many tuitions. Shouldn't schools be sufficient to do the job?
ReplyDeleteDoes your student really need tuition? Or just having ks parents? She sounded like a bright kid.
