Chaos ruled OK in the classroom
as bravely the teacher walked in
the hooligans ignored him
his voice was lost in the din
‘The theme for today is violence
and homework will be set
I’m going to teach you a lesson
one that you’ll never forget’
He picked on a boy who was shouting
and throttled him then and there
then garrotted the girl behind him
(the one with grotty hair)
Then sword in hand he hacked his way
between the chattering rows
‘First come, first severed’ he declared
‘fingers, feet, or toes’
He threw the sword at a latecomer
it struck with deadly aim
then pulling out a shotgun
he continued with his game
The first blast cleared the backrow
(where those who skive hang out)
they collapsed like rubber dinghies
when the plug’s pulled out
‘Please may I leave the room sir?’
a trembling vandal enquired
‘Of course you may’ said teacher
put the gun to his temple and fired
The Head popped a head round the doorway
to see why a din was being made
nodded understandingly
then tossed in a grenade
And when the ammo was well spent
with blood on every chair
Silence shuffled forward
with its hands up in the air
The teacher surveyed the carnage
the dying and the dead
He waggled a finger severely
‘Now let that be a lesson’ he said
a) The figurative language is used to describe the students being killed such as "collapsed like rubber dinghies" which describes that the students were very weak and had no strength to stand up.
b) I like this poem as it describe the act of killing very specifically and is very interesting as I had never seen a poem about a teacher killing his students.

Tuition @ Delta Avenue
About a month ago, I started going to a "tuition centre" in Delta Avenue 5 to teach and take care of the children there who usually come from poor families and their parents sent them there.
The first time I went there was quite a pleasant experience. We introduced ourselves to the children and played with them. I was lucky as the sporty kid I was assigned to did not have any homework to do, so we just played lego for and hour and went outside to play badminton for the rest of the session.
The second time I went there was not a pleasant one, I was assigned to a very playful girl who did not want to do her homework. She claimed that she did not know how to do every single question of her homework, which was alot. So, I explained to her every SINGLE question, which took about 3 hours, but during my explanation, she did not listen to what I was saying and rushed me to give her the correct answer. She kept telling me that she did not want to do and wanted to play, so I gave her some breaks in between. During that break, I saw Jerry and another kid quarrelling with each other, even though Jerry pratically did nothing to irritate him. Both times when I go to Delta Avenue, I always lose something, like a ruler, but I don't really care.
In conclusion, these trips to Delta Avenue was a fruitful and enriching experience, not only was I able to help the children who come from poor families, I was also able to revise my primary school maths and english, killing two birds with one stone.

SMO Junior 2009
Phew! I finally finished last year's SMO Junior Paper! It took me about 10 hours to finish! Only now then I noticed how hard SMO is...( I couldn't even understand most of the questions!) And this years SMO is held next month! I think I will be kicked out from the MOP class as there was a smb message saying that the MOP teachers will select students by their results of the upcoming SMO to stay in the MOP class for term 3.
Tommorrow is my IH and LSS test and I haven't revise much... and I haven't really done any ACE projects and the deadline for ACE points is next week! Unlucky for me, IH and LSS test expects us to remember facts and not like maths... Hmm, I think I will rush for ACE now... Even if I failed this 2 test, how bad could my MSG be?(I hope less than 4).
By the way, I can't believe that my maths teacher gave me 1 ACE point for doing a simple mindmap which is compulsory for all students during the e-learning week! Also, my chinese teacher said that we can get 1 ACE point if we arrange our chinese file neatly. Bye for now, I have to go arrange my file to get some easy ACE points.
