After reading Miao's latest entry, I finally withdrew myself from Maple and decided to blog.
You see, I get to learn so much from Mapling, mainly regarding kids nowadays.
a) They don't know what's the meaning of disconnection, when they use the short form "dc" so often.
b) Did I mention someone spelled "snow brought" when they mean "snowboard" ?
c) They would type "Let go" when they mean, "Let's go". And I would always answer "Let go of WHAT?"
d) They spell icicles as "icicic", "icykle", "icecle" and so on...
e) When they use cash to use a certain tool which can make their msg to their loved ones be seen by everyone in Maple, i've seen things like this:
1- "Every1 pls bewear (inserts name), her is a scammer, when c she pls defame"
2- "iie LURBBE (inserts name) ferreva, Dar iie LURBBE Uii <3"
3-"Min Tan Woi Yao Chia Kei Ni Le, Min Tan Woi Yao Chia Kei Ni le~"
(in case you're wondering, its ming tian wo yao jia gei ni le)
I rest my case.
Now to what happened at the tuition centre i work in.
1) This boy who reached level E in English, which is equivilant to Pri 5 or 6 standard, does not know the meaning of "plumber".
2) This girl whom is at level D which means Pri 4, does not know the meaning of the word "results".
3) This sec 2 boy writes the hanyu pinyin of lao3 shi1 as lao3 shi3, and he doesnt know whats wrong after the explanation.
4) A question requires them to complete the sentence "The thunder had woken _________" and I saw answers like:
a) The thunder had woken by the lightning.
b) The thunder had woken suddenly at night.
And did I mention the answer is to be found in a short paragraph of less than 4 sentences?!
5) The highest level of chinese worksheets, which I took a peep at, requires them to match the hanyu pinyin of e.g. Ke2 Sou4 to the chinese words "咳嗽", "萎缩", "希望", "发现". And this sec 2 girl was getting whole pages of wrong answers to questions like this and spent more than 2 hours correcting and correcting all over.
6) The chinese teacher there speaks english more than she speaks chinese in order for her students to understand what she's saying.
7) They love to spell "lemon" as "lenon", and chinese students likes to call 河马 as 牛. This young boy thinks 石狮子 is a real lion because he dunno whats 石.
And did I mention how terrible kids are nowadays in terms of attitude?
This boy calls his teacher a lesbian cos she jokingly says he's so petty over small matters and very sissy.
Another boy calls a marker there "asshole" out of the blue, she didnt do anything to provoke him at all.
And when i was mapling, a certain guy called dRaGoNxX92 looted several of my items, refused to return, spoke harsh words, treated me like an idiot, and ran away when i called my buddies over to come and help. i assume he's born in 1992, meaning he's 15 years old now.
And after hearing how Cheryl's students used bad words at her, came to conclude that it is a common thing.
I pray people like dRaGoNxX92 rots in hell.
I feel sorry for their parents, and dear Mr Lee too.
