Case Study: Particle or Strawberry?

CASE STUDY:

非说这个不可。时下的学生大多数都是一团垃圾,基本上这话句真不该由我的口说出,但是真的忍无可忍了。下星期就是今年“放大假”之前的最后七天,所以政府规定学校在这星期进行考试活动。教了一整年的东西,才发现竟然是浪费时间和精神在这些“国家栋梁” 的身上。

Case 1
由于是年终考试,所以考题是由州教育局所出,称之为统考。考试期间的第三天,在经过某间教室时,我顺手拿了其中一班学生们在埋头苦干的试卷来看, “真它妈的”- 考题非常的容易,虽然我不是数学科的。可是为何每个学生都愁眉苦脸,半生不死的样子。算啦,一向心肠好的我,在跟监考着的同事笑了笑之后,便发挥一下“演野”的本事。唉。。。我的天,某个学生竟然不懂我在教着他什么。在回答某道问题时,我就对他说,做数学需要一步一步来。我一边教就一边说出每一个步骤。重点就在于,当他写出我给他的最后步骤时,他竟然还慢条斯理的等我给他接下去,简单的来说;

-5 + (-14) + 20

= -5 - 14 + 20

= -19 + 20

= 1

其实 1 就是答案,他竟然还傻傻的看着我,期待着我给下一个步骤,于是我便问“ kenapa", 他很爽的回答我,“la, lepas tu.."。晕。我的解释能力真的那么差吗?更厉害的是,他很“顺道” 的问我 “belacan" 是什么意思。奇怪?数学题干嘛跑出 “belacan" 来 。。。。。咋看之下,原来是balance, 晕倒。。。你说死不死!!!

Case 2:

相信大家都知道,what is particle? 好吧, 就复习一下你的知识:

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. It is classified by its physical state as a solid, liquid, or gas. It is made up of tiny particles (Atoms & Molecules) and the particles are in constant motion. Temperature affects the speed of the particles. The higher the temperature, the faster the speed of the particles. Fine, the concept is too simple for most of the students as we work them out in some pictures.








其实我都知道这么“收家” 的事不该说出来的,可是事实j就是那样,恕我直言不讳。在科学试卷里,有这么一道问题 -

Draw the arrangement of particles for each of the matter above (pencil, water, and so on) according to their properties of particles.

学生的答案理应像图内所显示的一样。可是一些想象力丰富的学生竟锦上添花把粒子变成 fruit juices - with little tiny umbrella against the glass la , strawberry la等等等。。。 天啊!!! 什么来的??粒子变成strawberry???


Wilson: Thong, I am sorry.
Thong: (looking at the paper, burst out laughing before
calming herself down). No, I'm sorry Wilson, it
was my fault. I should have taught them the
shape of particle.
Wilson: It's not in the syllabus.
Thong: I know. Murder me please!
