Ajit Kumar

About a month ago, the Tamil teacher at school called me and need to meet up with me.

The teacher had commented that Ajit was not able to perform well in Tamil.
So she intends to get him stay back everyday in school and coached him.

The boy's results were not good since Pri 5 onwards. And Tamil is the killing subject of all.
He does not take a interest in the subject. I have always get feedback that he does not do his homework or did not hand in his work.

About a month ago, we engaged a Tamil tutor for him as suggested by the teacher in school.
After 2 weeks of tuition, this boy managed to score not only passed but did well in his composition writing.

Last week, I meet up with tutor for the first time.
He promised that he is able to guide him to the level of passing but may not score high.
That is already a comfort to me.

Today, I got a call from the teacher again. She says the boy was not listening to her instructions and came home after school instead of staying back.
But Ajit has a different set of words when confronted.
He was even told by the teacher to give up his CCA without me knowing.

I feel very upset over the whole issue. I am not sure whether the teacher is twisting her words or the boy is lying.

As such, to solve the problem, I wrote to the teacher and get her to stop the extra lessons except for the compulsory day.

The email was written in quite a harsh manner but I felt that my kid need to be look after. He always feel that the teacher and me does not trust him. So I decided to take this step.
Also, he is comfortable with the tutor's coaching. I believe he probably can do better under his guidance.

Well, a lot of pressure and stress recently that I basically can't cope with it.

Writing the blog had been a release of this stress off my mind for a while.

Hope tomorrow is a better day.
