hello. i have just decided to take a break from doing chem ws.
it's so irritating. she gives us so many worksheets, doesnt teach us properly or clearly, and expects us to be able to apply "common sense" and complete the worksheets to her satisfaction. like we have so much time on our hands to spare and surf the web and check the library to source for chem info. what are teachers for? if she insists on teaching that way, then she might as well not be a teacher, just a worksheet-producer and give us the time as a free block to do our research and revision. why does she think our class always does badly in chem formatives and summatives alike? plus, the info on the web is so vast and cheem that we are not able to digest all of it without a knowledgeable person's help. if the knowledgeable person refuses to help, well then, there is no possibility of comprehension.
up till now, despite the entire hour of intense research, i still do not wholly understand what i wrote on my worksheet. is that knowledge? i doubt so. it's regurgitation, which doesnt hold any value.
sigh. can anyone tell me confidently what is being tested for chem eoi? i dont want to invest precious studying time into topics which won't be tested. and obviously, up til now she still hasnt told us what is the eoi scope. and i almost thought she was nice.
everyone can be nice, but not everyone is nice. it's the general rule versus the exceptions. don't jump to conclusions unless you're sure it wasnt an exception.
im being depressing. and im staying off any fatty food, so no chocolate. shall go jogging later in an attempt to raise hormone levels. otherwise, i'm in for a depressing afternoon. and math tuition in the night. wonderful. argh. i wish i could see my friends again.
