people even bother to submit a blank piece of work. What were you hoping for the teacher to mark? Are you testing to see if the teacher can make an art piece out of the blank assignment?

What is the purpose of homework? What is meant by homework?

I have seen many, many, many times until i have lost count of students coping their friends' work or the standard answers from the answer booklet before the homework submit and i wonder, why bother?

The meaning of homework is for you to do at home. Not in school, but at home. The purpose of homework is meant for ALL of you to go back home to revise what have been taught and to act as a platform for ALL of you to see if you had really understood the facts. If the work is not done by you, there is no meaning in submitting it.

The meaning of homework for the teachers is for us to gauge the students' level of understanding so when we are marking your copied work, who are we supposed to gauge? Your standard or your friend's standard or the book publisher's standard?

To give credit to those who copied, at least they made the effort.

There is another kind of students who simply cannot be bother to even copy the work for submission. They just hand in BLANK piece of work, often accompanied with little drawings of hearts or stars or some idol's names at the side. Honestly! You can draw and write funny things but you cannot even pen one word for the assignment?

If you cannot even make the effort to write one word, why should the teacher even make effort to mark it? I personally feel that it is a waste of red ink to write the word "INCOMPLETE" for blank assignment submitted. Let's not kid ourselves. If they cannot be bother to write one word, why would they be bother to read what has been written?

If you cannot be bother to make effort for your own future, who else would be bother?

I never remember my teachers having to nag at us to study or literally spoon-feeding us with plentiful of notes or worksheets for practise. Yet when presented with notes and worksheets, there are people who cannot even bother to move their finger to for it.

Is there really such a big difference between my generation and your generation or people had simply gotten more lazy to work? This is a question worth pondering over.

If you are graduating and still cannot be bother to work. Then so be it. Even god can only help those who helps themselves. What can mere mortals like us do for you.

Finally, i managed to post a new post after a long, long time. The lack in posting is due to me being too lazy as well as the fact that i have nothing interesting to wirte about recently.

There have been a lot of events and when i'm less tight with my time, i will backdate and post the pictures.

3E1 surprised me totally for today CE lesson. While i know that there are some outgoing individual in the class, i have not expected the quieter ones to be so enthusiastic as well.

All 3 groups impressed me with their creativity in terms of their scripts and acting skills. It was a lot of fun and there were a lot of laughters but i hope at the end of the day, everyone had brought home something that is useful to him or he.

P/S: I'm always amused when students tagged that they have found my blog. I have never make this blog a secret in the first place. That is not to mention the fact that i have given this blog address to all my students. You just have to listen harder to catch certain information =)
