That’s me, because then I know, at least they do it. They try to do it. So, when the same students keep do not do the homework given, what the teacher should do? If one or two times, forgiveness is the best, but if the same students keep doing over and over again, what should the teacher do? Find out if the students having problems and try to talk to them? Or the easiest way. Send them to the counselor, and let the counselor handle them. Sometimes, I do want to help them personally, but with so many students and so many works, how to do that?

Teaching Year 6

This year I’m teaching English Year 6 Pintar. Truthfully, it is really ahrd. For these three months, so many obstacles I’ve faced, and it was really challenging. Last year, I’m only taught Year 1 pupils, and to climb to year 6 suddenly, it not easy. Moreover, my current year 6 students isn’t that enthusiasm in learning English. So far I’ve did a few extra classes with them, and the attendance were really disappointing. I’ve just marking their English paper 1, and I’m sad seeing how bad their results are. UPSR is seen as a very important exam, and I have to make it glory to these students. But how? My student, year 6 pintar 2011
