Hm...I just realised in my blog there is always this 1 paragraph or 1 sentence that attract people into writing comment. The rest of the blog writing is just for supporting. Quite obselete keke.
I remember in my school days I have a desire to stand out. I mean, more popular? More famous? Actually I have pretty good grades when I was younger. But still it is not top student. I make alot careless mistake that is why, so deep in my heart I still think I am quite smart. keke
So I don't really like it when classmate say he is so clever everytime full marks. I can do it too.. but sometimes misread question sometimes calculate wrong sometimes nervous. I always end up losing ALOT of marks. But I know I can answer all of the question.
Whenever there is question asked, people go for top student for advise. I remember 1 time top student reach school pretty late. So classmate ask me instead. I teach them the correct things. But they doubt me and say NO NO NO you CANNOT do this because..blah blah blah rubbish rubbish.
When top student come in class, classmate went to him and ask the same question. Top student teach EXACTLY the same thing and classmate said AHHH, THIS MUST BE CORRECT.
You know, Wtf? Yea! I am so angry I went toilet to wash face. And teacher always praise him and take so good care of him. Gosh he is so popular. I am jealous
In China, classroom is very very very big with alot of students. And it is total silence during lesson time. Or most of the time it is silence. So you can imagine how boring in lesson if you don't understand a single shit come out of teacher mouth.
This is where student creative comes in. They find ways to entertain.
Sleeping in class Play paper aeroplane Throw messages to girlfriend Eat in class Daydreaming Make fun of teacher behind his back Playing with pencil
Yea, every1 in China know how to play with pencil. I know some basics
I daydream alot in class, so teacher loves asking me question. To make sure my spirit is in class too. So I have to deal with this sticky situation alot of times. Most of the times I am screwed.
But sometimes I have defiance side too. I just hope by showing some rightiousness and firmness I can stop teacher from keep calling my name, at the same time getting more popular?
Getting popular? Yea in a sense I am more popular, but it was a disaster doing so. It just like a nail in the coffin as the Blur one.
Let me share with every1 2 memorable incidents.
#1
Teacher: Turn to Chapter 7, page 49. Teacher: Joyce! Joyce: Yes? Teacher: Repeat what I said. Joyce: You did not say anything. Teacher: Are you sure? Joyce: I think so. Teacher: What do you mean I think so? Joyce: I am 97% sure, Teacher.
*Teacher took in deep breath, I have a feeling I am screwed, so I decided stop being a defiler at this point*
Teacher: Sigh..why 97%? Where are the other 3 % goes? Joyce: Insurance.. Teacher: What do you mean? Joyce: Just in case you really did say something.
Guess what happen next? Please guess first, okay. + Show Spoiler +
Nothing really happened keke. Teacher just asked me to turn to Chapter 7 page 49. Ah I think too much. What relief. Actually I knew he said turn to Chapter 7 page 49, but I thought he would not ask so stupid question. He did. What stupid teacher.
#2
Teacher: When you chew a bread for awhile, it becomes sweeter, why is it so? Teacher: Joyce please answer. Joyce: It is not possible. Teacher: What!? Why? Joyce: I experiment with a bread yesterday night, I chewed it for an hour. Teacher: It turns sweeter. Joyce: No way, bread does not turn into candy. Bread still taste like bread.
Teacher: Something must be wrong with your taste bud, sit down.
I do not like it, he is so dead positive bread will turn sweet after chewing for an hour because it is written black and white in books. He has not test it himself. He should chew it for an hour too and confirm the book was right, not blindly believing in books
The trick to the art of being "defiant" to your teacher is that you have to be very observant of their emotions. Sure, back talking is fine if the teacher is in a playful mood, but if she is in a bad mood it could easily lead to quick retribution in which you will look stupid, not coy. Just be sure to know when to stop, and your peers and teachers both will like you, and you won't have to pick between them. Also, I don't agree with insulting your teacher by saying that he hasn't tested the bread for an hour. Maybe he has, and you should try again. Give them the benefit of the doubt, they usually are much smarter than you contrary to what you may think.
You are very active in the blogs section recently ! I like your blogs
#1 I find your reaction awesome, you dare challenging the teacher, and the 97% where hilarious. Most of people would just have said "i dont know sir, sorry :'( '
#2 Bread is indeed supposed to become sweat as saliva will decompose bread's starch into glucose That was what the teacher was expecting. But I agree that the way he asked the question was kinda dumb.

Did anyone else just burst out laughing after imagning a defiler sitting in a classroom chair with other students just bein all nonchalant? On that note, if you stopped ignoring me I will try my best to not land you in a sticky situation. I am however male and virile so this may be impossible to guarantee kk~

yes thats the point <3
Do you have an alarm that goes off everytime XiaoJoyce makes a blog?
Hahaha, good blog. It was a good enjoyable read, definitely made me laugh at both situations. Well played outsmarting the teacher both times! 5/5
And I'm pretty sure about 97% sure that Xiao is still in high school. Notice how she says "teacher" and not "professor". It may be just me but I never called any teachers professors before college nor professors teachers in college...

Sorry, but I'll do exactly that. There's a lot I could say. Some of it wouldn't be relevant since I don't understand a lot of the Chinese cultural references and some of it is based solely on my American perspective when things overseas are much different. This, though, I believe is very relevant, therefore I will post it!

What you have demonstrated is a great example of theory versus experience. Believe me, when you're out of school and into the real world experience carries much more weight than theory. However, in the classroom, learning from a book is about the only thing you can do in a classroom apart from a lab or practicum. I really like how you took it upon yourself to test the theory to see if it works.
The best approach, I feel, is to combine theory with experiences gained from a hands-on study. For example, you chewed bread for an hour. Apart from sounding gross, you didn't taste anything sweet. Does this mean saliva doesn't break down starch into glucose when you chew bread? Not necessarily, so if you were to claim that bread doesn't taste sweet after you chew it based off one test then you're just as bad as the teacher that blindly believes a book.
Theory says one thing while your experience says another. Why is that? Did you position the bread on your tongue to be in the most advantageous position to taste any difference? Does the type of bread you use make a difference? Theoretically, how long should the conversion take place and stay in your mouth? How much glucose needs to be converted before you can taste it? Finally, we have your teacher's conclusion - is there something wrong with your tste buds that you can't taste sugar? Honestly, his conclusion cannot be validated without some ridiculous experiments involving your mouth and known quantities of sugar.
Most of those questions seem rather silly, but the underlying principle is using the results of your experiments and experiences to shape what you know about a theory. Validating this yourself is probably the best possible way you personally can learn the material.

That was what the teacher was expecting. But I agree that the way he asked the question was kinda dumb.
