Students in tears

Through my years in school, there are quite afew incidents that I came across where students are in tears...in various situations. Tears of fear, tears of joy, tears of frustration etc etc.



Here are the list as much as my brain can recall straight away:



1. There was a case where tears were dropped when I told the student to take more drastic action against the parent to change for the good.



2. Then there was this case where I told the student straight in the face that the working attitude is just not good enough and faced the sack.



3. There was this case I placed my handphone recorder on the table and start to read the rights to the student : " you have the rights to remain silent, but if you choose not to do so, everything you say will be recorded and may be used against you in the court of law."



4. The was this case the students are on the very very verge of crying...cos they believed that the fire cracker I threw into thier bed was a lighted one.



5. There was afew students also freak out when they head me saying "How come your test results so like that?"



6. Then there was this case where one roll onto the floor when just because she heard me say "Hoo Hoo Hoo" (okok i admit timing is abit wrong...at 12 midnight).



7. Afew actually told me that they cried when they watched my graduation CD.



8. Another case...I told the student : " How do you expect me as a marker of the script to award you marks with absolutely no wroking and results exactly the same correct to 3 decimal point with the person sitting next to you?"



9. Then a recent case that happened..I told the student NOT to take drastic actions against the parent.



10. Recently I also told the student to spare a thought for the poor parent who work ward back home to earn money to study comfortable in S'pore.



11. Then there is this case of I told the student to improve her appointment and scheduling abilities.



12. Then there was this case i had to correct this student to stop coming late for full time semester project and start to care of own.
