I had a quiet birthday yesterday. Had made corn kueh the day before to give to the teachers. Students no as I did not have any class yesterday. Went to school and found out the P's father had passed away. So was a little afraid the others might think me a little bad for celebrating in a way. But i already had brought the kueh and the teachers were quite nice abt it. My friend another geog teacher had left a surprise on my table when I reached school so that was very nice of her. Then after school went shopping with my husband and tea + dinner. It was a quiet celebration and was good to sit down and talk with hubby. I had a few sms and emails from friends and family. So I was quite appreciative of that. A few pple forgot. I was a little upset but then again hai i guess life just gets busy that we lose track of time and date. So its not like pple really dont like me or something.
Today had class with the Sec 4s. Was really not in the mood - so did a very light introduction and explained till they got it about what are plates and plate boundaries.
Later in the afternoon had a meeting where the VP was going through various expected things of the teachers. He was talking of sending papers to other schools for vetting to set a higher quality paper. Didnt quite agree with that - at least not until we reach a certain standard for the students.
