Hello all 4/4 students!!!
Its Damien Chng posting!!!
Welcome to my new column where I will address and highlight issues that comrades of 4/4 have brought up.
First, and I believe this to be a very popular topic amongst us, the issue of seating plans.
As we all know....the big countdown begins whenever our form teacher enters the class.
20,19,18,17......3,2,1!! OK!! Everyone is supposed to be back in their original seating positions as dictated by the teachers.
But here comes the problem; The comrades of 4/4 are not satisfied with the assigned seating positions.
Reasons:
My partner too quiet!!!
My partner got sweet don't want share!!!
My partner has a big mouth!!!
My partner sleeps too much during math lesson!!!
or
I want to sit beside Damien Chng!!!
So, with these problems arising, how can some of us study effectively? The school actively encourages group study, with each of us comrades there to encourage each other as we inch closer to doomsday; O levels.
Yet, we are sometimes put beside people who distract us during lessons, by not giving us sweets, sleeping, etc. How are we to carry on studying like this??!!!
Comrade Roger voiced his opinions out loud during the ''great countdown'' in this afternoon's SS period. Of course, he was on the loosing side, with him going heads on with the authorities; things will never work out. Roger, calm down.
My fellow 4/4 comrades, I propose a peaceful solution to this problem; negotiations.
We must go and show the teachers that we can be quiet and not disrupt lessons while seating with our closest comrades. I know that there is the immense temptation of talking to your neighbours, I have that problem too(no!don't control it by sleeping), but if we really want to be comfortable in where we are seating, the teachers must be comfortable to teach with us seated there. Imagine yourself as teacher, mumbling jumbling all those boring physics theories(for example) that you already know the class will be bored of.And yet you allow the students to go find their more interesting comrades to distract them so that you can't teach. Stupid right?
So its either you prevent them from doing it, or....you stop them from doing it.
And our immensely intelligent teachers found a way to prevent us from doing it; The Seating Plan.
But think, if we had just keep quiet and concentrate; like what Kay Yong & Jonathan does, then the teachers will have no worries putting us together already right?
Farris is an exemption.He talks to anyone.
Just see, me and Roger.Can't shut up too.But we still get put together,because the form teacher knows that we always keep quiet by going into hibernation.hehe (Don't Try This in Class)
But seriously, some teachers are really influential.Their lessons are so influencing that we have
to find something to keep us from being influenced into a deep sleep. And they complain about us going to find entertainment and then complain about us dozing off.
Oh, but all 4/4 comrades know who is the Ultimate Sleeping Pill right?
The one who is always late for class. Well, he isn't too bad.He/she gives us sleeping time before he/she drops the ultimate sleeping bomb on us that drives us into drowsiness.
Once, he/she even gave the class ME to keep you all awake.Best entertainment ever!
Okay.Its time to go.
Damien signing off!!
