Now, who is having the last laugh?

It is not easy to control a class of students-students with raging hormones.

Where some boys with a high level of testosterone meet some pretty and cheeky girls in class and want to desperately engage and befriend them. The same goes for girls who wants to impress the boys.

The sad thing is this play of affection happens in a tuition class. It is not for the class teacher to discipline. If rules are broken, you cannot fully enforce them. Cash in the form of tuition fees is king. So, the teacher is walking on eggs here!

Even some words to tell them to behave will bring about potential drop in student attendance and they who will then migrate to other tuition centres who will tolerate their misbehaviour.

So, I was teaching in such a centre last year. The students were not interested in studying but 'making eyes' at each other. Believe me, peep pressure is strong.

When a popular girl or boy decides to leave, the whole chain gang follows.

I left the centre after my usual feedback with the centre's proprietor.

So, she hired a spanking new girl tutor to teach, hoping for magic to occur.

End result? Super noisy and uncontrollable class and potential heavy falling out comes June, July or August as the exams draws near?

So,who's gloating and having the last laugh?

I, of course!
