Contact time
LP Contact Time starts at 1130am.
Today, HH, me, Hzrh, WH went to the Spice Room at 1135am.
There is nobody inside.
I start to mark my P5 exam papers, till I finished at ard 1150am, I walked down to see what is going on.
I saw Mrs Chrn walking up, she said contact time is at 12noon.
Then I saw Mrs SL talking with Mr Teo.
My face is black, very black.
me:"Contact time at 12?"
SL:"Yes, sorry forget to tell you."
me:"1130, me, HH, Hzrh, WH was sitting up there. Until now. NOBODY TELL US." My face is as black.
SL:"Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry..."
I shaked my head and walked away.
I am very angry.
Like CL said:"They don't bother bout us. Because some of the teachers cannot finish their oral test. I only know when I go to buy food at the canteen."
Well.. we are just nothing~
11:38am SL sent out an email regarding Sectional Meeting.

Oral Exam
It is supposed to start at 830am.
It's now 855am and I am still sitting in the staff room.
Around 825am just now, SY said YX did not give her the namelist. Unfortunately, I am taking her class for oral. She said wait until 2 periods later or get from YX at the classroom.
OMG... I told her "Why issit that this kind of bird thing happen? I will surely get angry with this."
She said YX did not submit namelist to her, don't blame her, she can get for me in the classroom.
Well... But the they realize YX is coming down.. 825am is her free period.
Ok, problem solved.
x x x
HH went to take the oral papers at 830am.
All of us got a namelist, but JB said maybe it is not an updated list... Wow... I don't know, just finish up everyone is the list first then..
The list that I have has got pupils from A1 A2 A3 not in order... Wow...
Later IM said Cluster AC are having PE follow by recess at 855am.
So now I've not start my Oral Exam and still sitting in the staff room!!
I can only start at 925am...
Alamak... Then why am I coming before 825am?

My timetable
Had a conference with P today.
Finally I told him about my timetable!
Tuesday 825am - 630pm, with 10 teaching periods.
I am not surprised that P told me the school's stand and position.
I am not surprised that P is unable to do anything to help at the moment.
I am not surprised that P'd continue to talk for 5 mins uninterrupted.
Well, at least you know about the problem.
Two messages that I get from you today:
1. I should have passion and do what the school has for me to do.
2. No matter what happen, I still need to do what the school wants me to do.

Leave
Talked with CC yesterday regarding my leave in June. She told me to asked K personally, but I said that I do not wish to see her.
CC suggest that I send an email to her, first things there is black & white, second I do not need to see her. Good idea!
My email:
Dear Mrs K,
I would like to check if my application to leave the state from 29 May 08to 16 June 08 has been approved. Thank you.
Her reply:
Dear TY,
In principle it has been granted. However, I suggest that you check with BS as first week is the time where HOD catches up with staff on dept reviews, analysis of SA1 results etc. Also take a look into the COE just in case you miss out on some important events.
regards,
k
Wow! She's very good to cover own backside!!

Last Minute
CC is very upset today, almost in tears.
Today is 1st of April, she is supposed to be on half pay half load today. she told us that she would go home at 4pm today, but she only knew that the school fail to get a relief for her yet when she came to school and asked.
They asked her to do full time for how much longer, I am not sure. She said the school is delaying her, she is thinking of just resign!!
She said she felt like a monkey being played...
Why must you make our life so difficult?

Class Test
During 1230 – 100pm roll call, Mrs K told us this:
Class test is a formative test. It is only one fraction of the total exam. Parent should not compare between classes. It should not be a standardize test because every class has a different pace. This is only 10% and we really want to encourage them to learn. We want the regularity, we really want to encourage them to learn.
LeeCC : “But our MT department has already send the test paper for printing?”
Your department has to change your mindset. The person in charge did not get the message, it has been sent out since Day 1. It should not be a standardized test, that's why P is very angry about this. You have to ask if they have printed the paper.
Every teacher set own class test paper. You can have as many class testes as you want, maybe 10 maybe 20.
Ms Kwok Q:”Can the test be written on white board?”
“No la. The test must be more professional, cannot be write on white board.”
.............................. What is this again?

Don't take away my P2!
Today, Ho had a meeting with me, CC and HH in the staff lounge.
The reason being CC is under Part Time Work Scheme, we want to make sure where will her half load go to. During the contact time yesterday, HH seems unhappy that CC is giving away some job to her.
Conclusion
1. CC will come for 3.5days, Monday only from 400-630pm, taking only 2 P1s.
2. PLC, Action Research, Student ICE Festival, Staff ICE Festival will go to TY.
3. P2 outdoor lesson will go to HH.
4. There will be no more P1&P2 overall in-charge because Ho said the Title is "scary", HH will be the main contact person.
HH's face looked as black as ever.
Actually, I don't mind doing the job if you told me earlier.
Don't push everything to me, we can share it and help each other.
But some people just seems reluctant to take up responsibilities and tried to push it away.
Ho is suggesting to get a relief teacher to take up CC's P2. The problem is that the relief teacher cannot take only one class, so she is suggesting that I give one P2 to the relief teacher and I take over CC's admin duty and other admin thing. Admin duty? Oh... it means everything that others don't do I need to do.
Please keep admin duty away from me!! I don't want that shXt job!!
Please don't take away one of my p2s!!
Luckily that is only Ho's suggestion, subject to P's approval.

SQ Family Times
Too bad that I miss the good show during Upper Primary Contact Time today.
Lower Primary Contact Time was wasting our time...
At first.. Mrs Nair spoke bout the meet the parents session on this coming Saturday... Then Mrs Seah talked to us bout P1 camp (tentatively on 30/5, think I should apply my leave!), PLC.. bla bla bla.. till around 1230? then she left us with some time to discuss bout student ICE.
A lot of time... till I was chit-chating with Cikgu Lee... There was a friendly fire between NgHH and LeeCC, I do not wish to join them, so I did not listen and care bout it!
We cannot go, because the most important person is not here yet..
Then we wasted lots of time talking..
Then came Mrs K and Mr S, they seems to be waiting too, then around 1pm came Mr T with his backpack...
He went through all the SQ Family Times with us.. asking us questions... saying this is a dialogue session and we should tell him our concern... Who cares? He will only defend himself...
Then at one point.. he moved near us... asking what are the 3 strategic thrust? What is A... he came nearer.. suddenly, I heard "Mr Toh, what is A???"
Mr Toh:"To nurture a star in every sqnite?"
Oh no.. I am not your pupils le Mr T!!! Please don't treat us like your pupil...
When taking 187 back home.. I met Mdm Yeow... she was bla bla bla-ing bout school also...
At first, she kept saying she is very stress, very stress... then she said P seems to be in bad mood these few days...P always scold people... she didn't have time to mark books... her pupils did not finish IPW.. she has no time to prepare for lessons... think not many ppl will care bout the 5 peer observation since there will be 2 formal observation... said there was 4 confirmed HFMD cases and she needed to write reports to MOH and MOE everyday... and think many ppl will ask for transfer in August...
I tried to talk to her.. but seems like most of the time she is expressing her unhappiness...
Wow.. everyone is stress out!

Extended hours under heavy fire!!!!
today's meeting was a live firing exercise for all the upper p ts.
the target was a very clear one - extended hrs for p5/6
many upper p ts voiced out their 'concern'
however, at the end, all of us have a conclusion:
there is nothing we can do!
then how?
at around 130, the main target Mr Prk appeared.
upper p ts found their new target!!
too bad, i have to go for my lesson, otherwise i will be able to witness the 'good' show
while teaching, there came a announcement
'can all the upper p ts come to meeting room for a short debrief'
oops... i thought we shouldn't misuse the PA system?
again, i missed the 'good' show
after all these disasters, i doubt there is anything P can do to restore t's faith
hai........

Topic of the day
Performance Bonus!
Hottest topic in town now...
Some get 2.0, some get 2.1 because of 0.6 GB.
I think most 3G got 3 months++
Wow... Can't see any fairness there, where are the guidelines?
Guess you'll have to be P's favourite to be eligible for more PB!
Well, if you expect too much, there'll be disappointment!
