omg I forgot to blog about work on Saturday. Work is always fun and stressful. I like work better than school tbh. The kids I teach are so cute and smart. Makes me feel dumb since I was never as smart as them when I was their age. Like I am teaching this grade 2 who started 8 months ago from adding and now she's doing long division and fractions *_*. I didn't even learn how to do that until like 5th grade D: -fails-. Shes so smart too. I barely need to teach her and she can just learn the math herself with the examples given.
On the other hand, I was so frustrated that day as well with another student. I think he has attention deficit or something. He's always slapping himself to pay attention. I try to help him and tell him that 'oh this question is wrong' and then he just starts guessing random numbers hoping I'll tell him which one is right. Some kids are so hard to deal with -stress-.
And then theres like cute 1st grader who's learning how to do vertical addition but takes like nearly 40 mins just to do 5 pages of work [suppose to take no more than 20 mins]. His mom starts yelling at him. I felt bad since I can't always keep an eye on him with other students. During the 4 hour span I spend at Kumon I cover around 15 students from learning how to write/count numbers to fractions. I help other students too if they ask. As well as mark homework, record their homework, and input homework record into laptop. Seems like alot of work but students are first priority so I just try to do as much as I can.
But watching these kids do Kumon makes me remember the days I did Kumon too. I was so bad and always getting into trouble. I remember doing addition around 6 y/o. That time I think it was questions like 7+6, 9+5, etc questions. And since there was many similiar questions on differents sides of the page I would do the 1st page and for the next few pages copy the answers from the 1st page. (got lazy to do same questions b/c had to use fingers to add) Then my uncle saw me doing that so he took away the pages i finished. I got mad and started crying. lol so stupid right? don't know why I still remember that.
After Kumon I drove my sister to pick up this birthday cake we ordered at
Sweet Obesssion. Cake there is so expensive, 8" cost 44 dollars. I drove her to Richmond to this restaurant called Well Tea where the party was held. Hate driving during rush hour. So much traffic. It took nearly 40 mins for me to drive back home. Suzy called me at around 9 pm to pick her up at her friend's hour. I got there in 2 mins and she started asking how did I get from 26th to 63rd ave in 2 mins. -laughs- driving at night is fun no cars at all :D can chiong.
