It ia me again. Wish I had more time to write.
I was marking the pupils' work earlier today.
I felt frustrated not angry mind you while
marking. Their work was completed haphazardly.
I had the impression that they were just doing
it for the sake of doing. There isn't any pride
in handing in the work.
I grew up having this believe that, whatever I
do is a reflection of my upbringing and my
attitude towards life in general. (I know...
I am old!!!)
I remembered having a beautiful handwriting.
I would painstakingly write neatly. My teacher
would scold and at times shout at me for not
writing the letters correctly.
Due to constant use of computer, I rarely write.
However, that did not mean that my handwriting
is illegible.
I could only say that a handful of my pupils have
beautiful handwriting. These pupils are, Allyah, Wulandari,
Adlin, Victoria and LiXuan. The rest have alot to catch up with.
I wonder if I need to give them handwriting exercises just
to make sure that they write neatly. I guess, very soon, every pupil
will have a tablet PC in school and submit their written
assignment on line. However, that does not mean that they
should not write neatly and legibly.
I still firmly believe that with the advancement of technology,
we should not forget the fundamentals. As they are our
guiding principles.
To my pupils who are reading the blog, please respond to
this;
1. Having a neat handwriting is important. Please let me
know your stand on this issue.
2. How do I help pupils whose handwriting and untidy and
illegible.
