Star Wars: Yoda's Wisest Words - 3rd March 2018

A powerful scene from Star Wars Empire Strikes Back released in 1980.

Keyword - Believe

Take note students.

Luke: "I don't believe it!"
Yoda: "That is why you failed."

Humility - 3rd March 2018

You could be a straight A student but if your character namely honesty, respect for elders, humility, integrity, humble amongst peers fails you badly then you still have to work on things, ain't that right?
At the end of the day, our existence is not only to score in our exams although that is why everyone is in this tuition class.

Year 2016. One of our Tutor gave this advice to a student who was getting cocky and the student made disparaging remarks to his peers who did not score A for the exams.

He got the message. He did well for his PSLE. More importantly he learnt to stay HUMBLE.
There is no definitive textbooks which teaches you to be HUMBLE.

The hare and the tortoise story comes to mind.

Teacher - Student Convo - 2nd March 2018

Conversation went something like this

Pri 6 student : Teacher, I am lazy to revise.

Teacher : Are you lazy to eat?

Pri 6 student: Teacher, we are living things. We NEED to eat to survive.

Teacher : Make revising your NEED. You will NEED it for your survival in your academic pursuit. There must be a hunger to succeed.

Case closed. Student gave a quizzical look.

He will need a lot of pep talk.

This 30 sec exchange might / might not have helped but it did hit him.

He will improve, we have faith and we believe in his potential.

Dream career - 2nd March 2018

Throughout our years of teaching, a realisation hits us slowly that a student at Primary 4 level and above who has a dream career in mind normally does better in his / her exams.

This is not definitive neither it is the only variable which ensures his / her long term success.

What we feel is, it does show that the student has at least an objective of why he has to go to school, revise, sacrifice his play hours, complete his homework etc.

There are myriad of other reasons why a student would want to do well in his / her studies. Having a serious dream career could cultivate a child's motivation.

The greatest of sportsman, musician , painters started young.

Let's harness and inculcate our child to have a dream. It may be the start of something beautiful.
