School Conference and More....

Today is Parents-Teachers Conference Day at the boys' school. Actually, they call it Home-Teacher conference Day as they wanted to involve the student in the process as well. But I decided to leave both boys behind so that the teacher can be more "truthful" with their comments.

As expected, S2 got great comments from his teacher. He's in the top Math group, his reading capabilities are a year more advance than expected. He is inquisitive etc etc....... except........You guessed it. "He's too chatty". I already knew that was the complaint. Told the teacher that this one, don't think can be helped!! If he can talk to himself in the car for two hours, what do you expect when you put him next to his pals?? Hahahahah.....

As for S1,...his Math teacher complaint about his untidy and his "un-orderly" work. He was okay with the untidiness but felt that S1 should "read, and plan his work before writing anything down". Actually, this is also my major problem with him when he does his Math at home. There is no order, and his workings are aaaaallll over the place. You really need to decipher what he has done. And this the teacher highlighted that he just could not afford the time to do that. But with all angmoh teachers, he said that we should also take note of what he can do well, and not only on his weaknesses...etc etc. And then added that S1's"enthusiam and attitude will serve him well in adulthood, and I can see where his enthusiam comes from!". I wonder...was I looking to happy and enthusiastic????

And then it was off to S1's Class teacher. Again..."lovely boy to have in my class" and the complaint? He can be distracted and lose focus in class, and would have to be brought back into focus. Donno why...but have this "Mork calling Orson. Come-in Orson!!" line in my mind when the teacher said that he had to bring him "back". Heee heee

As I was leaving the school, I met a friend with her Year 3 daughter. Our convo:

Girl's Mom - Finished with your older son's teacher.
Me - Yup. Teacher complaint about his blah blah blah.
Girl - Who is she talking about?
Girl's Mom - S1. You know..S2's brother.
Girl - All the girls in Year 3 likes him.
Me - Is it? Why do they like him?
Girl - Because they say that he is very handsome!
Me - You are in Year 3. Do you like him.
Girl - *Grinned*
Girl's Mom - S2 not handsome?

Hahahah..... My S1 very malu (shy) about this. I told him that now he may be malu, but in a couple of years time, he will be very proud of this!!! Hahhaha

If I tell H, he sure will say "of course handsome what. My son! Just like the father!" kekekekeke

Oh... speaking of HANDSOME arr... aye.. both S1 and S2's class teacher also quite good-looking leh. Eye-Candy quality okay.. *wink* *wink*... maybe I should go to school more often!!! Hahahahahah (Err.. As for S1's Math Teacher - normal teacher look lor...)
