CK, can you help me?

 

I was staring into Mr Asus. clicking through webpages regarding o2jam and the likes of it.

 

 

Situation : Teacher was teaching about Vectors and Planes in space. Apparently she is unable to convey the equation of a plane to the fellow students in Ajisai class. For short, she doesn’t know how to explain, and requires a student (who wasn’t paying attention in her class anyway) to guide the students of his class regarding that chapter.

 

Reaction : I retracted my hands of the computer, then started scratching my head, tilting my head sideways, giving a sheepish smile saying…

 

hehehehe…. =/ teaching ah…

Please la CK, help teacher

 

I pondered about this. Frankly, I have given up hope on her to guide me in mathematics; more often than never I guide myself.

2 years before, I am able to do the work she gave to me today.

2 years later, my skills have stayed the same.

 

 

 

But then I thought of the plight of my fellow classmates. Regarding the teacher’s previous question, they stared at the teacher with puppy dog eyes, hoping that she may provide some beacon of light to clarify regarding the subject. But she did not.

 

Not wanting them to be victims of sub-par educational system, I then stood, and said

 

 

For my classmates. I teach.

 

 

 

Taking a marker pen in one hand, I drew some mathematical diagrams on the whiteboard, I started my first “lecture” in class, saying:

 

Now I would like you all to recall the dot product of two vectors, where vector a is…..

Sem two exams are next next week.

 

Wish me luck.
