When I ask myself why we've been doing badly for Physics, I figured out that it was not only Sir Thomas' fault. We are all waiting to be fed, because Mdm Teo cares for us too much. Therefore, we expect every other teacher to do the same. Unfortunately Sir Thomas doesn't. It's maybe not because he doesn't care at all, instead, he expected us to come to him and ask for extra lessons. I used to blame him before, but when I put myself in the middle of 2 sides, I was finally able to judge more fairly.

"George's method of teaching is too structural!". Yeah, I've heard that a few times before. We were and we are still complaining about him. He thinks that he's not supposed to be active in his teaching and we are the ones who have to come up with questions. His lessons are definitely not interesting and we used to have to do practical works every Friday, even though the following week is examination time. Recently we just did the mock exam paper and it was miserable to all of us. I'm not sure if anyone can pass, so we all expect him to give us all the solutions. All he did was going thru the paper and saying that he will only give us back the paper on the 22nd of October. In the contrary, we all had our mock exam paper for others subject and guess what? We all got our paper back with solutions and hints. I don't understand why he just doesn't help us in this. Is it true that he doesn't care at all? Is it true that all our complaints and feedbacks to the schools were nothing because he is the Head of the Science Faculty?

However, it's useless to just criticize, and you have to look on both sides to see who's right and who's wrong. We, as students really need his help, but we're all mature and should not depend all on him. I know that my classmates who're reading this may get a lil' bit confused. I know most of us think that he's not doing his job. But think carefully again, he's helping us but the method is just wrong, not for him, but for us. We still don't ask him for extra classes, we give up too soon on Physics: "Physics? I sure die lor...". You see...I know we all want to pass our paper tomorrow, but we didn't come to him and ask for help. If we had a lesson on weekend, we would be more or less gaining some knowledge and be prepared better for the coming paper.

Anyway, the paper is on tomorrow. No matter how hard it is, we have to try. I don't know whether I can pass, not like Sherwin and Grace, they will surely top the class. The rest, let me tell you, we are on the same boat. So let's strive to do well on this paper okay? I love y'all ^^ (oh, I love Sherwin and Grace, too, hehehe)

*God bless*
