Just couldn’t understand these 2 students from my bus- don’t know is because they don’t understand what my helper and I said to them? Not teachable? Or just trying to test our patience?
The famous Miss W- unlike other JAMs students who need name tag for identity and security purpose, Miss W don’t need cause EVERYONE know her, even church cleaner know her well. Just make a trip down to JAMs svc and she will leave a DEEP impression. Haha! =)
She can be very well-behaved in bus, usually “entertained” by the Hokkien songs requested by her to driver. Despite my helper and I can tell her many times and show her the rewards (this usually catches her FULL attention) but on the condition that she behaves herself all the way to church, in church and back home.
She agreed BUT the moment the lift door opened, she will automatic squat down and refuses to go in hall. Even if you managed to get her in, it will only be for that 10mins then either she will walk out on her own or she will be brought out by me cause she misbehave by either physically hurting friends, opening friends/teachers’ bag, or disturb service by her shouting.
After checking with her mum that she is not like that (sooooooo verrrrrrry desperate for food) at home and in school, only in church. Guess last time we used to give in to her too much, for food and stuffs and now to her, so long she come church she got food, so long she throw tantrum at lift lobby she be serve with food. Together with my helper, we made a decision that we will not give in to her anymore and got to start “training” her. If she want stay outside hall, by all means but we got to make sure she is not entertain by any food. Don’t know how long but surely this will take very long before we can get her bad “habit” out. Got to keep keeping her in prayers too!
Actually even when she is outside at lift lobby, she won’t be that well-behave either. Most of the time, she will entertain herself by “activity”. Here are some she did before:
* pushed/hit a female zone helper… instead of feeling bad, she laughed her way through
* grabbed a teacher’s spectacles, and refused to let go
* snatched food that comes her way
* lie full flat on the floor
* chit chat with cleaners & JAMs security… most of the time asking about food
* took off shoes and attempt to throw at teacher
* aim for dustbin… waiting for people to throw food in
Just last week, she did something which really makes my heart break for her- I was with her majority of the time at the lift lobby. She was already not ok at the start- screaming and shouting (as she know she wont get any sweets/rewards when she return). At this particular moment, she pushed down the dustbin and digs out stuffs from there- an empty sweet box & an empty mineral bottle before the dustbin was brought away by the security. That scene was terrible… I didn’t do anything but I just stood there helplessly. I just think to myself… is she really that hungry?
