The boy who fell down yesterday was admitted to hospital. The mother called to say that his bones at the knee joint has shifted and he had to undergo operation to insert some metal pieces into his knee joint. So his knee will be in a cast for 6 months. Not sure how he's going to take his exam and when he's coming back to school. His classmates kept on asking which hospital he's in and whether they can go see him. But I think it'll be good for him to rest first, maybe they can visit him at home when he's discharged.
The second part of the paper was finally finished. She almost wanted to just hand in and go off... luckily reminded her in time. But still, after she changed a bit and left, we still found mistakes... and in the end I had to do the editting...
Recently I found out something... there're so many people around who can't do formatting of the documents. They don't know how to align text using tabs... so instead they resort to pressing the space bar until it is more or less align or just simply any how shift the indents until they think they get what they want. The strange thing is there're so many weird places in the document that I simply cannot imagine how those things came about.
This brought me to think of another point. When students make mistake, sometimes we do understand why. For example, they jumble up the concepts, forget bits and pieces, here and there. But sometimes they can really come up with answers that I'm unable to figure out where they got it from. I'm sure I never mentioned it in class, or it was never written on the notes or powerpoint slides. How come they managed to link up things that are so unrelated??
Met a very friendly cab driver today. We talked all the way from school back home. At first I realised I forgot to bring my wallet... so he had to drive me back to school, luckily the school attendant was just about to leave. So the school attendant had to open the gate, disarm the alarm, open the office and then open the staffroom... The cab driver's has been a part time driver for 7 years. We started talking about how the students add 'spice' to the teachers' lives. He said his greatest wish is to fetch the teachers that have taught him when he was a student. But so far, he's never got any. He also talked about fetching professors from university... and some professors will just start talking about things that he's never heard before or things that we'll never have a chance to know... And interestingly, he makes record of the people he has fetch... especially those who come from overseas. So he's met people from Germany, Australia, Czech, France and so on... Now his target is to meet people from all over the world.
It's such amazing that such a humble job can meet so many people. I think it's a joy when you meet people and share experiences. You don't need to be a CEO of a MNC who travel all over the world for meetings to meet so many people. Neither do you need lots of money to fly around the world. Sometimes, opportunities just comes to you. Truely... the world is at our doorstep... it's a matter of whether we see it... and whether we want take that step forward.
