Stayed back for Da Vinci Science Challenger today. Basically my schl invited primary schl kids from different schools to take part in a mini-competition. They get to do experiments and we were the station masters. Being Primary schl kids, they're sure to play a fool, mess around, lose focus on their task etc. So... That's where we come in. The Station masters are to make sure that they are on track. 2 station masters are given a group to look after as they do experiments. However, MR A.J had a stomach ache and left me, alone, to control my group of primary schl kids. THX A.J. zZz.
My 1st grp of Primary schl kids were a joke. They're supposed to measure the mass of iron. 1st, they must extract the iron from a vial of powder. I realised that they're seriously hopeless at extracting the iron, so i decided to help them extract the iron. Once they have extracted the iron, they put the iron into the test tube
AND THREW IT AWAY. 30 mins of hard work down the drain. Honestly, i think nowadays the younger generation are waaay too dependant on their teachers, parents etc. They can't live without them after all...
On a side note, i realised that primary schl students are officially allowed to bring CALCULATORS into their maths PSLE exam. WTF. 15 problem sums with the help of a calculator???? My maths papers in Primary schl were always full of careless mistakes and the current batch of PSLE students get to use calculator??? zZz.
I closed my eyes and drifted away...
