Being old….
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis
Who is sleeping in class?
Caught sleeping in class?
It is a dilemma
for both the teacher
and the student.
****
“… either your baby
had been keeping you
up the whole night,
or you’re burning midnight oil
for the coming major test!”
******
Hand-in-hand
with the student
(who was caught sleeping in my class)
we paced up and down
as the class discussed further.
****
“Do you agree with this answer?”
This student gave her view.
“Now go back to your seat!”
By then, she was wide-awake,
so was… the whole class!
Or they will be the next
to walk up and down
the class with me! 😉
****
The other effective method
was to make
that particular student
come out and
operate my slide
as I paced up and down
the classroom during a discussion,
especially a discussion
before a summative assessment!

Keeping my eyes open in class as a student
Yesterday I wrote about ‘Who is sleeping in (my) class?’
But as a student (when I was young, at University) on the receiving end, it is even more challenging!
Especially after a lunch break, when the brain became dull and sleepy!
After a lecture, a few of my classmates approached me.
“We saw you shook your head hard a few times. But you definitely, was busy scribbling… non- stop! Can we borrow your notes?”
They did… but not to copy! They photostated!
“… no more energy to copy, la! And, wow! You practically copied everything the lecturer said… every ‘tut’!”
“…tut?”
“Ya…’kentut ‘!” I learned a new word that day.
I wrote and scribbled… desperately, to keep myself awake!
Those ‘tut’ were stories and scenarios to describe each example. And, they usually turned up again as scenarios in the examination questions!
Thanks to the ‘tut’!

Beautiful fireworks last night from our balcony!
Finally, a son after eight daughters!
Sr Rosemary told us her experience with this hawker lady!
*********
A hawker wife burst out crying out loudly in the labour room. “My mother-in-law said she would make my husband marry another woman if I deliver another girl! This is my eighth daughter! I want to die! “
Sister Rosemary taught her the mucus method of family planning. And the hawker’s wife finally got a son!
In many traditional families, gender preference for a male offspring can not be undermined!
