gosh... in this sch, morning illness is an affliction for boys!

last year had a boy who literally kick a tantrum, pouts, stamping foot and all at times when he apparently got up on the wrong side of the bed... at one time, trying to cajole him to class, he threatened to run across the road... a very scary experience when the road in question is teh route to teh industrial estate... aka heavy vehicles and all...

he seems ok this year, to be replaced by another boy who alternatively have a headache, stomache or chest pain in the mornings... spoke to the father last week who said he's been brought to the dr, but no, he wasn't prescribed any medication... i'm not sure whether that translate to be a psychological prob... coz the dad sure seems pretty cool abt it... i was worried coz it came with waterworks and all... seems he's genuinely in pain...

now, I've learnt to just let him go to the sick bay... listen out for his sobbing to stop, then tell him to wash his face and go back to class...

the boys seems to get older each year... this one is in P4... last year's was a P2... but unfailingly from the best class... a result of stress?? but in both cases, the form teachers are pple who never lose their cool with the class...

hmmm... kids' psychology remains to be something intriguing to me... I'm coming to my 3yr milestone too soon... shld I take up the post-grad...? even if it means all the more my time with this ministry will be cast in stone??
