Ok hope Yan Xia doesn't mind if I post this here, cos it's her entry:
okie, l decided to blog bout this cuz i was quite affected bout it.the wen xia saga..i was irritated that pple act posted bulltein(s) on friendster bout her.the bad stuff of cuz.sentences like:" she deserves it"" she had this cumin."" my life was hell under her"SO EVIL!!!!i was yet again reminded of her looking at the home page 1.comments and praises bout her.i thnk she realli deserves the thanks and consolation.afterall, armed with a fake cert, she is not OBLIGED to do a good job in teaching .she cld just earn ez $$ and just heck with the students.seriously!but she didnt! she did a good job in fact.actually, i rem once she told us to write a compo bout her.we all wrote HONESTLY. mocking her bout her choice of clothes,wierd shoes..smell..hair..wadeva!she took it graciously.how wld u have feel if 40 students write bad things bout u.i bet u cry.anihowz, she was INDEED concerned bout the students.if she had any bias towards anyone.check yrself: were u rude to her in any way?if u were, u deserve the "harsh" treatment she has on u.pple in my class last time conversed in eng loudly to talk bad bout her openlyduring her lessons.little did they know that she DOES know english.has been taking lessons.SO NOW U KNOW Y U WERE PREJUDICED IN CLASS.does this sound familar :" she's always picking on me."pls la. if u dun do anything wrong/bad/hurtful to someone, y the hell wldthey bother to pick on u?the qns: y do u pick on pple u dislike? it's because they have harmed u once and u felt the hurt.and the worst part : " i cld have gotten betta grades if she hadnt teach me."[ cld u allow me to gently swipe yr face?]PLS!!!!point being: if u didnt know her cert was fake, wld u still THINK u deserve a betta teacher? it's beacause u are CONVINCED that she's good den. now that u found out,u think that since she's a fake, a real teacher might be betta for u rite?wrong.in JC.. there are WORSE qualified chinese teachers that dun give a damn hoot u.it's rote learning. take it or fail it.and who says teachers with real certs are necesarily betta?it's not about certs but teaching methods.once, i got a B3 for chinese O levels. i was pretty upset.and she cld see and feel it.our class din do well too..she comforted us and say that with our standards we shld clinch an A2 at least.i decided to have a go at chinese again.an A2.not A1 but still betta than B3.yes.lying is wrong. who doesnt lie? u mean u are perfect? **wow!!**faking a cert is wrong. im sure she has her reasons.is it to allievate herself fr poverty in China? we dun noe the private reasons of cuz.but no one is so foolish to plunge yrself inward with the law unless u areforced by circumstances.make sense?if u realised that this entry is tinged with scarsam and anger, it's because the author is feeling the same now. esp with pple whining bout their grades.WAKE UP!there is more to life than just grades.stop putting the blame on others.examine yrself.
Alright here's the truth. Or should I say, my truth.
-I honestly think she could have done a better job
-armed with a fake cert, she IS obliged to do a good job in teaching
-haha I remembered that compo I wrote. Nope, I didn't say a single bad thing about her, honest as I am
-I can't remember any times that I was rude to her. In fact, it's the other way around. I've always respected her, even though I may feel she's in the wrong
-Even while conversing in English, I certainly didn't mention anything about her
-She WAS always picking on me! I don't just say that. It's like I'm being punished whenever I can't answer her questions etc. How ridiculous is that? Aren't you supposed to teach me? Fine, even if I can't read Pri Sch words, you can mock me, but I don't appreciate you always punishing me for that! It's not my fault that I'm a slow learner!
-I think it's fair to say that my grades could have been better if someone else taught me! It's a fair conclusion! would the MOE hire her if they knew that she doesn't have a degree?
-The reality is, certs and qualifications are essentially crucial in teaching! You can't ask an underqualified teacher to teach! It's as simple as that!
Well yes, she has a heart to teach. I'm pretty sure many students can testify. But I think it's simply unacceptable that a teacher using a fake cert is teaching me. Even if I had A1, I will still protest. So imagine how I feel now - C5! Imagine! 2 years! The advice she's given, the way she marks, sets exam papers....I'm beginning to put question marks. Real teachers, armed with a degree, would definitely had been more knowledgable.
Ok, I'm not saying she's that criminally bad that she has to be jailed for life or what. I won't question how the law deals with her. I don't hate her. I don't have any reason to hate her. Hate is a terrible word. I do wish her all the best, and I certainly hope she can contribute effectively to the society in China as a teacher.
