That’ll be my T1. Every other day, she comes home from school ‘boasting’ about how her teacher always asks her to help. Of course, she only dares ‘boast’ to me. She isn’t allowed to do it otherwise. Either help in the canteen or help in the classroom, almost like she’s a class monitor. Even if she’s 2nd shortest in class.
The other day, she said teacher made her sit right in front beside a particular classmate because she was very good in reading and teacher wanted her to help her classmate read. Then teacher wanted her to help distribute some books in class, sometimes help distribute food or snacks in the canteen.
One day, her entire class of twenty had to go up to the whiteboard one by one to do a maths equation and she was the only one who got it correct. Really? I was kind of suspicious and can’t be bothered am unable to verify her facts but will take it at face value. She said everybody just simply counted or guessed (I wonder how she deduced this!) but she was smart enough (her exact words, fuah! so humble!) to use the number chart on the wall. What is a number chart, I asked? A poster with numbers from zero to a hundred. Ohhh…..So she cheated then??? No!!! She calculated the sum on the whiteboard, and then looked at the number chart to check if she was correct. Ohhh….whatever…….
Today she said her teacher asked her to help another classmate with a fan making project. They had to fold paper fans (accordion style) and her classmate either was too slow or couldn’t do it properly for some reason, so she had to complete it for her. They were making paper fans because they were learning about air and wind in Science. I saw the end result of T1’s fan – very pretty. She had drawn and coloured flowers on it.
Then she told me her teacher made her sing 5 songs because she remembered the lyrics faster than her classmates. Oh, was that during music lesson? No, it was during maths. Hah?? Yes, maths! I was curious! Apparently, they are now learning about 3D shapes and for each shape, there is a song! So for pyramid shape, they sang it to the tune of Happy Birthday and the lyrics go something like, P-Y-R-A-M-I-D……spells the shape Pee-Ra-Mid…….With 5 flat faces and corners……and 8 straight edge borders. Then she started singing the song for cube shape to a different tune. I thought it was an innovative way for the kids to learn the characteristics of each 3-dimensional shape. I mean, we never had such things in school. Then again, I don’t think we were ever that advanced in school for Primary One Maths.
T1 sure knows how to butter her teachers up for she has enough manipulative skills to wile her way into her teacher’s good books. For teacher’s day, she wanted to get her teachers roses amongst other things (I can’t remember what now). When she bakes brownies, she suggests that she brings some for her teachers to try. She keeps thinking of thoughtful things to do or get for her teachers, and I am always wondering why she makes my life so difficult. At such a young age, she already knows how to BUY people!!!
Little do her teachers know what a devil she can be out of school as she is so well behaved in front of them. Sneaky, huh?
