This feisty lil Bitch has horns!

Saturday, May 20, 2006

Ok! It was a bad bad day today. Sucks to the core! Why?! Because some slacker parent spoilt my day. I had an hour lecture from the father on how to teach. What is wrong with parents nowadays?!

Honestly speaking, I was staring into space half the time during the lecture because the father kept on reiterating his points, resulting in a monologue that's going round in circle. Needless to say, the conversation went nowhere.

So by the end of the whole thing, the father was trying to say that his son is:-

Smart but needs to be allowed to speak up.
Extremely stressed by me.
Very fragile, needs lotsa pampering.

Sure sure, push all the blame on me, mister! Now let me tell you a few truths about your son.

He's somewhat intellectually disabled. His train of thoughts puzzles me too.
He's over pampered and much too lazy to do anything bout his studies.

I always tell my kids that I can only give you 50% help. The other 50% has to come from you, yourself. Intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation. Like, what the fuck? I need to change my tutoring methods? Again? I've tried to be patient with him, coaxing him, encouraging him, blah blah blah. It doesn't work. Fine! So I tried to be strict and firm with him and he goes crying to daddy and mommy. Fine!

Mister, obviously this fucked up grades your son attained has got a lot to do with his fucked up attitude and your fucked up parenting skills. Why are you so quick to jump to your son's defence?! Why do you fail to recognise/deny your son's low capability. I don't remember giving my tutors so much problems when I was young. There were just a few handful times when I rebelled and resisted. And they always ended with my Mom giving me a tongue lashing or a good spanking. Spare the rod and spoil the child, Mister! What I gather from his home environment is one where the parents always give in to their child's every whim and rushing to defend his every actions. Pray, tell me, how do you expect a child like this to pull up his socks and understand the importance of academic studies?

Not to mention, you failed to acknowledge my efforts in tutoring your son, which resulted in a significant improvement in his English grades. How demoralising is that?! Very. I am human too, I need to be acknowledged and credited. All you did, Mister, was to point out all the faults and push them to me and expect me to work out a miracle all on my own. Mind you, if I hadn't been strict/firm with him, pushing him to practice more, encouraging him and talking to him, doing everything and anything to get him interested and at ease, he wouldn't have improved on his own.

Bottom line is, in order for your son to improve, I need your full cooperation and not for you to work against me and fuck things up for me and then pin all the faults on me. Don't expect me to lavish your son with tons of pacifying and gifts. He wants praises, he wants gifts, he has to work for them. Work really hard.

Oh! By the way, I'm still charging you for that one hour of bullshit. *smiles*

1 more day till Mommy comes home!
