Jungle woman in Cambodia



She was 18 years lost in the jungles of northeast Cambodia. She has forgotten what hot water is.

She was found and brought to stay in a safe home.

The girl has already tried to flee once, tearing off her clothes to rush back into the jungle.

She is trying to get used to life among the family that has claimed her as their long-lost daughter and spends her days and nights watching the films or sitting glassy-eyed while curious locals come to stare at her.

They attribute the girl’s loss of speech and traumatized behavior to 18 years as the companion of a jungle spirit who has now abandoned her.

She was naked and walking in a bending-forward position like a monkey, exactly like a monkey.

What is life?

Which life is better?

The jungle or the city?

Teachers' attire in schools

Sin Chew News reports that many teachers don't wear proper attire in schools.

It mentions that female teachers are more obvious.

They have tight skirts, tight shirts, tight blouse and clothing which reveals and exposes their body shapes.

It states that they are not morally right in schools.

They are supposed to follow code of ethics as teachers.

They are supposed to show good examples to students.

Besides, it says their hair are dyed with all colours.

I am sure you have noticed such in your school.

Mostly they are younger teachers.

Hahaha.

Absenteeism in school

Lately absenteeism in my school is quite high.

May be it's the culture of my school.

I don't really know the reasons for my students absenteeism.

Some say that no lessons are on in their class.

Some say that their subject teachers are not in the school.

Some say that they prefer to study at home.

Some say that they will be absent from the class which they dislike.

What is your view about the problem of absenteeism?

I don't support absenteeism.

It will tarnish the name of the school.

It reflects the negative behaviour of the students.

Please don't play truant.

Survey about teaching and learning methods

I am doing a survey about our tuitions.

I would like to know whether the methods used are suitable for you or not.

You are invited to participate in the survey.

The results will help me and you to further improve my teaching and your learning.

Hopefully you could help inform your friends about the survey.

The more the participants, the higher the accuracy of the result of the survey.

Festival of light

Happy Deepavali to you.

It is a festival of light for Hindus.

In Buddhism light is a symbolic of happiness.

When you have no light, you are in darkness.

When you have light, you are not in darkness.

We don't like darkness.

Darkness frightens us.

Darkness disappoints us.

Darkness gives no happiness.

So seek light in your life.

Failure in Additional Mathematics

17 failures in Additional Mathematics trial 2009 in the 1st class of my school.

Surprised?

I am surprised.

Additional Mathematics is a subject which needs a lot of repeating exercises.
One need the skills to apply the formula given in solving problems.
One requires to understand and interpret the mathematics language in the questions.
One needs to do some sketches and diagrams.
One needs to have strong algebraic skills.
One have to look at the questions as a whole.

You just can't depend totally on memorising skills.
