Kristymami: $100 is a matter of principle. THe school uses its staff to supervise the exam cos it does not want to pay extra $ for me to do the same job cos I am hired on an hourly basis. So this late staff makes me stay behind and not earning OT. For this test week, I have earned 50% less than usual la
Actually, I like this job, to make me young la The key is not too 'up heart' and serious. Be honest, you cannot expect them to show interest and do do. So I am to teach them how to think in a sensible way, be a little bit responsible, to blow water, and able to handle a few '百萬富翁' questions. Just a 俾面 party. After the party, I can shop in the 'Toy Street' la.
But when teaching the mature students (OU), I have to bring my brain cos they look for more as they do not need the 'sand paper' to get promotion and salary increase. Some of them are much older than me la I remember one 醉酒鬼佬 (over 60 years old) phoned me at night and asked why he had low mark. At first, I tried to explain his mistakes, but he could not hear 'in ears'. At last, I said I followed the marking scheme--the most effective reason--and I had kindly added him a few extra points. Then he shut up. :evil:
