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...

Klutzy Teacher - A sequel

The klutzy teacher has survived a friendly a match of captain's ball againsts the kids. Next she's put to a challenge of another friendly match - soccer against the alumni. What will the score be this time??? Hmm....

Klutzy Teacher?!

Was informed by the organising PE teacher that my name has been entered for the friendly match of captain's ball. It's an ACES-cum-teacher's day celebration for this year's teacher's day.

The last time I played a team sports was like...what? Half a decade ago? Any good buddies of mine would probably know how klutzy I'm at sports. For I have a weird affinity with balls. Not that kind of affinity whereby you play well and score...rather that kind that hits me in a game...

Honestly...I'm not exactly keen for the day to come...Seriously, when had teacher's day celebration become a day for us to SWEAT??!! Ok, pardon my whining for awhile...

On another note, I count myself lucky that I didn't get signed up for sports like rugby...Keeping my fingers crossed about the student-teacher friendly matches here.......
