Chemistry Class

The topic says it all.

Well, some of you might be laughing your heads off at the thought of this particular subject.

Or are you laughing at the teacher?

Well, our Chemistry test is just two days away, and i am getting fed up over the attitude of the class during Chemistry lessons. Therefore, I have sacrificed my revision time to blog about this horrendous situation.

Sometimes I wonder what the class really wants. Do they go to class to learn? Or do they go there for the sake of it, or to make a fool out of themselves. I am confused.

Every Monday and Wednesday, we have Chemistry lessons with our chemistry teacher, Mr Kong. No doubt, he is an excellent teacher, although he is tasked with teaching a dryer subject than others.

But he has this problem which is the target of the class's many jokes and mockeries. His speech, or as some would put it, "accent"

Perhaps some would find this funny, that this teacher is weird and eccentric.

But then again, we all have our flaws, don't we?

Perhaps he grew up in a Chinese background? That might explain his inability to pronounce certain words, wouldn't it?

But I do not think that this is a justifiable reason for the incessant laughter and mocking in his classes. What does it matter to the class if he pronounces someone's name wrongly or in his weird "accent"? I am sure that we all fully comprehend his words right? And so what if he contradicts himself sometimes? Faced with a bunch of laughing children against you, the poor teacher at the front of the class, would you make mistakes? And in the first place are these even mistakes?

And some people just have to ruin my studying mood in class by repeating his "accent" in class. Leave him alone for goodness sake! A student goes to class to study, and one might find it hilarious, but I find it annoying. If you want to make yourself more prominent and stuff, do it during recess or lunch for goodness sake and don't affect those who really want to learn! And so what if others find you funny? I doubt many will remember a joke shouted in class after 2 minutes. And even if they do, so what? Do you really think you will become more popular and have more friends? Then again this goes back to my post on friends. Those people who find you funny definitely aren't your true friends anyway, so why bother?

So in conclusion, may I appeal to all who read this post to stop bothering the poor teacher? I can tell that he is really trying his best to impart his knowledge to us, but he is constantly interrupted by jokes and the irritating sounds in class. Why not just accept him as he is, and just absorb whatever he has to teach?

Perhaps you find his lessons dry, but then again, I believe that if you all had bothered to read his notes and attempt to understand them, you would not find what he says alien.
