this sounds really effective in improving eyesight naturally.
maybe i should give it a try.
i visited the home of a retired chinese teacher on sunday together with my parents. he was lamenting about the cheek of students nowadays, cos he had placed his hand on the arm of a male student, asking the student if he needed any help with his work. the student pushed his hand away rudely and told him, “don’t touch me!”
i’m glad my tuition kids are not so rude, but then sometimes i sit there wanting to strangle them.
the first kid today has smartened up and knew that if she finished the questions i posed her too soon, she would end up with more work. so she chattered and chattered and chattered throughout the 2 hour lesson. then she made me go to her kitchen with her to get some food cos she was hungry, there was a heavy storm, she once dreamt of seeing a ghost in her kitchen, and there wasn’t anyone else at home. yes, i went to the kitchen with her.
the second kid today did a triple-insult today. first he laughed at my face when i took off my glasses to rub my eyes, calling my face a basketball. then he laughed at my hair which was standing up cos the fan was blowing up at my hair from the ground behind me. finally he laughed my height cos he has been growing like free one in the past year i’ve been teaching him.
luckily the kids are still damn scared when i get angry.
they have been testing the water and though i’m relatively lenient with them as long as the meet my expectations, i’m having more and more trouble getting them to toe the line. a black face works, though i think it might not be as effective soon.
damn, kids nowadays are uber difficult to manage. lucky for me i only have 5 more months to go before i retire from the tutoring scene.
