Marking Entertainment

Reading the FB posts of answers given by students of a fellow ex-classmate who's teaching at another school, I suddenly felt that marking Biology scripts is a very entertaining business as opposed to Chemistry .Here's sharing some of the excerpts of answer which gave me a very good laugh every time I read it:

"Smoke me not: 'jujodeum'; 'duoilleum'; 'oephathogus'; 'oe#+{^%+#*]gus'; 'gall duct'; 'bile gland'; 'intestinal tube'... Best, what is hormone Y? 'Pathogen'."
(Really kids are good at inventing terms; Correction: 'jejunum', 'duodenum', 'oesophagus', 'gall bladder', 'bile duct', 'intestine')

"oestrogen gives a girl the urge to have intercourse" (o.O, LOL...)

"Vasectomy is the cutting and tying of the penis."
(**Ouch...!** If that were the case, the guy would probably die of bleeding with the intense network of blood vessels down there...)

"Ligatomy is the removing of oviduct"
(Ligatomy = new invention of 'ligation' + 'vasectomy'???)

"Q: Explain the appearance of RBCs when placed in distiller water.
A: The RBCs are red."
(-.-)

Comparing the now me to the then beginning teacher on marking of scripts:

Beginning teacher me: answers like this would most likely frustrate me.
The now me: LOL! Marking is sure an entertainment with answers like this.

HAHA....

Journeying Together

One of the things I enjoy so far, is to embark on these journey with them. Surprisingly it wasn't stress that I was feeling so far...In fact, there's a certain joy to be on this journey with them. Hope this journey with them will bring us to a destination where we could all cheer and pat ourselves really hard for our good job when the end of the road is here....

Looking forward towards this journey together with them. Let them like-minded as well...

I Am A Chemistry Teacher

Every secondary school teacher in the nation is assigned 2 teaching subjects and mine are: #1: Chemistry and #2: Biology. Been marking test scripts recently for both my subjects and I must say marking scripts for Biology can kill. All the long answers without relevant points. Not to mention horrible handwriting at times or arrows here and there when students write all over the page =.=

Marking chemistry scripts are so much easier. The nature of the subject makes it have less tendency for students write long essays for a something as short as a 2M question.
Bless my soul that Chemistry is my 1st teaching subject.
