Math only math
Just checked out my Whatsapp. Turns out my kid bro sent me some numbers of 23,540 minus 96 hundreds.
And garden math with fractions. Brinjal planting (?) But honestly, my eyes only caught the word 'SULIT' at 11pm. (Yes don't give that look when I'm the best-known for sleeping at wee hours of the morning) No wonder I smelled something fishy when I received the reply. Oh! Soalan maths UPSR rupanyer from my adek.
Apparently my kid bro, Amirul is struggling to finish the last leg of the race to the UPSR exam. By the time when he was about to take his maths paper, I was miles away from home to get into a thing they called studying (forgodsake). But you see, the problem with him is that, there's no one he can refer to when he comes to ask for his school worksheets. Except our other sibling, Anis. His three years gap older sister. She helped him, but yet still, he refers me just to double confirm his answer sheets.
So this time, he tends to analyze and compare his answers through all three phases by different people.
Phase I, he usually gets his math answers approved by some teachers at the school.
Phase II, he would get Anis to check them again, at home.
Phase III, the two siblings get through me to finalize the answers for approval via Whatsapp.
Aigooo kids these days.
Everything is only at your fingertips, adek3
So I ended up becoming my kid bro home tutor for 4 subjects (oh so fun)
"Monday would be BM"
"Then, BI should be on Tuesday"
"Oh yes, Wednesday is the Math Day!"
"And, of course we do Science on Thursday"
The best of all, I got ways to annoy him or to get him into trouble if he refused to listen to me— such a mean sister, is it. "You better read some books before I tell ibu or ayah that you're playing mobile legends. Remember, I'm your kakak" *evil grins*
But in all seriousness, my kid bro is undeniably underachieving at school however performed best in bola sepak & sepak takraw. On one more serious note, he even got invited to STL practices for Astro. "Aww bro, you're such a sports guy person but why is your kakak not even good in any sport??" Am I adopted?? omaigard!
As a kakak, all you want to do is to give him all the help that he needs from the beginning. So, here's the thing that I did. We got through all the syllabus in each subject and I prepared him some past years questions to allow him identified the style of UPSR questions. But then, he mostly would ask me for math questions. So why maths??
Math ain't easy until you reach the most advance ones, wahai adek3 sekalian :p
