A new school year started today. The primary school was supposed to move out to a new building but as the building was not ready, they are staying put in the same building as us. That led to a hurried addition of more classrooms to the building and dividing bigger classrooms into smaller ones in a matter of days. A consequence, my form class this year get a brand new classroom. After rearranging the tables and chairs in class, there's actually more space in the class. Its a sec1 class again but a better lot this time. They all look real cute as they have just come from primary school and are still kids at heart. I asked them to come up with rules for the class and one of them said that if anyone speaks Indonesian they have to treat the whole class for lunch. A bit harsh i felt but lets see how it goes.
I also have a new lot of Sec3s and after going through all the rules and expectations of them, I saw all of them keep real real quiet. So i looked at them and said " You are all so quiet that you scare me" to which a boy quipped " You scared us, thats why we are quiet." Well from experience they wont stay quiet for long - its prob just the first day.
